    Considering how big our military is and how much of NATO we are, yeah, unironically it is a redistribution of US wealth to protect a huge portion of the world. The good kind of redistribution involves missiles I guess?

      If by “protect” you mean extract resources and concession from a huge portion of the world and redistribution from US tax payers to Military contractors.

        No. I mean use them as forward operating bases. We subsidize the defense of a huge portion of the world, particularly NATO members, because they’re strategically important.
