dont think we send trillions of dollars to the UK or other countries..its the ammo and equipment we send...like missles and tanks ect ect..they cant just go to the corner hardware and buy that equipment...and also we make the ammo an equipment we send so the folks that work there where the stuff is made make good money .... and i agree about us pushing NATO on to russia's door step....by the same token about taiwan off china's coast they hate us for doin that and we hate havin china an russia on our door step too in cuba and central america...its like totally nutZ!
