#1 These nations could only prosper in an environment where the US Navy gives them free protection for exports. It's not that they're not paying their fair share, it's that they aren't paying a dime.

Why is the already overtaxed American taxpayer subsidizing these hostile countries?

#3 Quite a Rogue's Gallery there: Brazil and India are just doing their tedious "Third World Unaligned Nation" (which actually means Kleptocracies of the 3rd World Unite!)

We're not subsidizing them. We're maintaining a collar over their windpipes that can be tightened at will. China understands this. That's why they're building their own navy - so it can be used to remove this collar (i.e. US Navy ships) so their land grabs will go off without a hitch, even if Uncle Sam opposes those land grabs with more than just words.

Russia?! They’ll be shocked to discover that along the way the famous Russian winter became a tropical paradise.

Iranian “nuclear weapons” was always a bogus issue. Tehran did not have them – and was not pursuing them.

Vacuous nonsense or outright lies? Why would Iran need a deal with President Obama to discontinue that pursuit if there was no pursuit? All they would have to do is open the claimed facilities to inspection, showing that the claimed equipment and supplies did not exist.

Besides, Russia could easily – and secretly – supply Iran with state-of-the-art defensive missiles and the most advanced offensive missiles.

At the moment North Korea cannot continue its part of the joint nuclear weapons development program, but Pakistan and China are as viable potential suppliers as Russia. China is more likely than Russia, anyway, having supplied technology to Pakistan, at the very least. “Indigenously developed”, my Aunt Fanny.
