    Uh huh.

    Tell me about the last time the US Army defended a democratic nation from invasion.

    Or gave any significant amount of weapons to a nation that wasn’t expected to pay for them.

      It’s not out of kindness. The US defense strategy centers around having bases located around something like 500km from important targets in China and Russia. It just so happens that makes Germany and Turkey super important to us.

      Japan and South Korea are the only two off the top of my head that the DoD suggests they’re interested in defending regardless of strategic use. There’s no real way to actually verify that, though.
