CitizenVectron Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 1 hour ago, SFLUFAN said: He is 100% correct that American allies (and others, really) benefit greatly from peace brought about by American hegemony. However, Trump fails to realize that the US itself benefits the most in two key ways: 1) Peace means better trade, which means American companies (which dominate global culture) can prosper 2) Peace means that America can more easily influence smaller nations and achieve regional policy goals because of the implicit threat of no peace if the US withdrew But Trump doesn't seem to understand that utility can exist in more ways than just naked wealth. Sacrificing some money now for the certainty of more money in the future is a good trade, but Trump only sees that he is losing money now.

Trump doesn't understand a lot of things, like NATO countries increasing military spending doesn't mean the US gets the money, or that we should be reducing military spending if you want other countries to rely on us less not increasing it.
