    Are you claiming that the US doesn’t contribute using the defense budget to NATO? Are you claiming the US had bases in Ukraine that failed to stop the Russian invasion?

    Sorry for the question deluge, I just want to make sure I’m reading you right because I don’t think either of those things are true…

    Idk if I’m able to have an in depth conversation about this topic but I also don’t want to get you wrong, you know?

      No to everything you wrote.

      The US military power and reach on its own does not discourage countries from attacking other countries. Defensive treaties between multiple countries does, becsuse that allows for a united front that the US is part of.
