Are you trying to imply that Trump got preferential treatment in a New York court? You can't be serious. Preferential treatment??? Nah, the jury found that he committed sexual abuse in the Caroll case & he's a 32 time convicted felon. With this record, a regular Joe would be in prison.
One was white collar crime. There are dudes getting leniency for gun charges. Armed robberies. As far as the other thing, when there is zero evidence, the court won't even bring charges. If the E.Jean Carroll thing was a criminal matter, it never goes to court. He's never even charged. She gets exposed as being an unhinged, pathological liar.

-- DJT Sure, diss our closest ally. You're smart enough to know that's not a good idea.
Midnight1 is right. US is stronger with allies instead of none. NATO has proven to be the most successful defensive alliance in history. But deluded Trump sees allies as no better than enemies. He thinks the world is ripping off the US when the opposite is true. As a demagogue, he appeals to the ignorance and prejudice of voters.

Successful in that it allows us to better defend other countries. It is a very one-sided alliance.

And how is the opposite true. Alliances like NATO, the Paris Accord, etc base contributions on GDP. It will always fall to us to fund these things, and we really don't see return on our investment. It's time we rethink out alliances. We'll provide military support to countries who present some strategic advantage to us, usually based solely on their geographic region. What we shouldn't be is the worlds military. It's a back breaking expense and it doesn't make us safer. It outs us more at risk by antagonizing other military super powers.
Honest question. Do you believe supporting Ukraine made us safer, or more at risk?

@Midnight1 "These are two separate cases & you should know that." I see..so he's a 66 time convicted felon ?...OK!
Are you dense? Seriously, is there something wrong with you? There were 2 cases. First, was the assault case that rewarded millions to the plaintiff. The 2nd was his hush money trial where he was convicted on 34 counts. Got it now?
You see what you did here? You did exactly what Wallstreet has been trying to get you to stop doing. Now, I'm sure you're playing dumb like "Midnight, what do you mean?" Sadly, you know exactly what I mean because you pull this shit all the time.
I may be wrong but I don't think anyone else in the forum was confused by my original statement. No, but not you. No,no, no..not you.
So I'm gonna leave it right here. I believe you are now straight on the topic.

Stu, would love to chime in here.
Since we are the most powerful nation in the world, you are certainly right. We've been the world's Sheriff for decades & will probably remain that way for the foreseeable future. Our RIO comes from the armament sales to the countries in need or at war generating revenue for American companies who also are supposed to pay their taxes which is a totally different subject. I believe we would rather be the supplier of arms rather than another country deciding who gets what arms/technology. To answer your last question, I believe we are no more safer than we are at risk. We will always be targets because of who we are, our beliefs & our cultures. I'm a big proponent of Defense spending but not the horror stories about the waste & the funny business that takes place when contracts are signed.

It's pretty funny. 1:08 mark. Check it out. It made me chuckle.
P.S. Explain to me how Britain provides more to the US in terms of being an "ally" over the Saudis..... El Salvador perhaps. But to knock El Salvador at the same time, what gives? What has El Salvador done to you that you don't like?
Since the end of WWII, one can easily make the argument the Saudi relationship has been much more fruitful than our relationship with Great Britain.

Our economy in propped up by the US dollar being the preferred petrodollar of Saudi. When we seem beholden to the Saudis, when you here stories of all air traffic being grounded on 9/11 save for Saudi royals, I get it. It is a mutually beneficial relationship. To your point, how do we benefit through our relationship with the Brits? Or Israel, for that matter?

Regarding Great Britain, we have a shared history, language & shared purpose to keep peace around the world. They are a partner in defeating terrorism & the sharing of critical intelligence. They also believe in defending the oppressed, freedom of speech including the media. Trust in one another is a critical aspect of our alliance & I don't have the same trust in Saudi Arabia. Our foreign policy with Great Britain is viewed as solid around the world. I can't put a dollar amount on the benefits from being allies if that is what you are looking for. As far as Israel, they have one of the best intelligence agencies in the world. It's better to be inside the tent than outside so to speak. They purchase millions in armaments manufactured by US companies. They have a powerful modern military in a part of the world that is advantageous to the US. They communicate credible threats to our nation allowing us to plan & eliminate the threat. We benefit from the innovation & R&D of their country such as the solar energy plant in Cali that you probably already know about. If there will be peace in the Middle East, Israel has to be a part of it.
As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, it's all about the oil & their purchase of military equipment. They are also a major player if the US is serious about bringing peace to the Middle East. However, I don't have entire faith in a country that is run as a monarchy & doesn't allow the freedoms we take for granted.

Explain to me how Britain provides more to the US in terms of being an "ally" over the Saudis..... El Salvador perhaps. But to knock El Salvador at the same time, what gives? What has El Salvador done to you that you don't like? Since the end of WWII, one can easily make the argument the Saudi relationship has been much more fruitful than our relationship with Great Britain. Our economy in propped up by the US dollar being the preferred petrodollar of Saudi. When we seem beholden to the Saudis, when you here stories of all air traffic being grounded on 9/11 save for Saudi royals, I get it. It is a mutually beneficial relationship. To your point, how do we benefit through our relationship with the Brits? Or Israel, for that matter?
Regarding Great Britain, we have a shared history, language & shared purpose to keep peace around the world. They are a partner in defeating terrorism & the sharing of critical intelligence. They also believe in defending the oppressed, freedom of speech including the media. Trust in one another is a critical aspect of our alliance & I don't have the same trust in Saudi Arabia. Our foreign policy with Great Britain is viewed as solid around the world. I can't put a dollar amount on the benefits from being allies if that is what you are looking for. As far as Israel, they have one of the best intelligence agencies in the world. It's better to be inside the tent than outside so to speak. They purchase millions in armaments manufactured by US companies. They have a powerful modern military in a part of the world that is advantageous to the US. They communicate credible threats to our nation allowing us to plan & eliminate the threat. We benefit from the innovation & R&D of their country such as the solar energy plant in Cali that you probably already know about. If there will be peace in the Middle East, Israel has to be a part of it.
As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, it's all about the oil & their purchase of military equipment. They are also a major player if the US is serious about bringing peace to the Middle East. However, I don't have entire faith in a country that is run as a monarchy & doesn't allow the freedoms we take for granted.
