America is not the world police, and it's not America's responsibility or right to destroy another sovereign country's power plants just because. Imperialism and meddling in foreign affairs will be the death of America.
At this point my logic boils down to this: We are broke. We have a cost of living crisis with housing specifically becoming unobtainable for young people. We have health care shortages for actual surgeries and procedures. We have rampant illegal and legal immigration causing dysfunction. Our education system is crumbling and teaches us to hate ourselves.
In this situation, what argument can be made to spend billions of dollars, that the fed has to print which will devalue ALL of OUR money more, to bomb people on the other side of the world?
Every nation meddles in every other nations affairs.
As for whether america has the responsibility or right, it depends on whether leaders think its a net positive to do so. If america could go back and bomb china before it has nukes, should it do so? North korea? Pakistan?
People need to realise countries arent like people and do not play by the same guidelines towards other countries
I pay taxes but it's really got nothing to do with this. Whether you pay taxes or not, almost every single nation in the world is just going to keep meddling with other nations.
Just a lame attempt to do some backhand shaming 'hurr durr, you so poor' which doesn't even make sense
If you want to think of it that way. Countries have also historically listened to the vatican which is a smaller country than most of europe and waged wars which they wanted.
As it is, right now both israel and iran got bombs lobbed at them, and casualties. USA is the only one who got to lob bombs and then walk back with no damage. If you want to think of that as USA suddenly cucking to Israel despite decades long call from both parties to stop Iran from getting nukes then so be it. You can't really rationalise yourself out of a position you use emotions to get into
The ironic part is you can’t stop spending on military because the wolves are just circling and looking for weakness. And because the last few years have been bad for the army, you might have to spend more just to make up for it

No argument here.

Spoken like a person who does not have to pay taxes.
The government can meddle in other nations affairs when they stop meddling with my wallet.

Unless you shrink the federal government to the point where it simply does not have the resources to do so.
No, more like, "you seem really ignorant."
Do you often struggle like this? Maybe I'm not wrong.
Yea, so the big dog has to bully medium dogs when the small dog wants them to.

We are broke. Stop debt spending our future away for bombs today.

No. We have plenty of defensive military strength adequate for any conventional invasion.
Actually I'd disagree in that it's not our right to destroy shit for other people's interests
