A long time ago one of former leaders warned us against "foreign " entanglements. e chose to ignore that. Panama is a free country, but if our interests in the canal came into play, there would be marines there in a heart beat. And what would we say? Protecting American interests. All this money spent on defense could be spent on better things. NO ONE CAN INVADE US[except mexico]
I like knowing we have military superiority. After all if we don't protect our borders and watch our back who will? Of course Mexico doesn't count.......With all our military might we can't stop that illegal invasion.
