DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - What you notice isn't an accident. Andrew Carnegie wrote the "Gospel of Wealth" that declared the newly minted wealthy had a social obligation to make the world a better place. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace came from those roots.
Henry Ford Sr. was skeptical of those utopian plans, but his grandson bought into them fully.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Great series, thank you. I have plenty of quotes from NGOs explaining that what they do is effective only as long as they remain out of public consciousness.

Thereās a lot of drama around Black Jack brigade being ordered back to the U.S. from Europe.
I was in that unit on that same mission from 2019-2020.
We deployed, did training there, went to a CTC. Iāll be honest, it was the most fun Iāve probably had in the Army.
But after the initial training and the CTC rotation, we didnāt do much.
Played a lot of softball. BBQs. PT. Some drinking. Mostly just working on keeping people out of trouble.
It was kind of like being back at Fort Hood, but in Germany.
I suppose one could argue that the simple act of us being there made all the difference. I donāt know. That was above my level.
But I couldnāt help but think then, as I do now, that there are better ways to keep oneās adversaries at bay.
To say nothing of the fact that I do believe we have been a crutch to Europe for too long. Everyone seems to forget that Europe as a whole, dwarfs the GDP of Russia. A country who is barely richer than Italy.
You accomplish nothing providing security for people who refuse to do it themselves.
What are we supposed to do? Defend them forever? Permanently?
What has it gotten us? Europe, by all accounts, has taken advantage of our security blanket and prioritized making a socialist hellscape.
A socialist hellscape that has become their chief export. So the very act of remaining there in force is enabling the destruction of the western world.
Our relationship with those people DEMANDS revisiting in my view. Because whatever good will we generated after the end of the Second World War has dried up.
The free flow of money from us to them has also dried up.
Itās very telling how others treat you when you stop doing things for them. This isnāt mutual respect. Itās been little more than bribery.
And Iām all for keeping our Armored brigades right here, building readiness.
And not running them into the ground for little gain.
There is an age old adage that says you must help yourself before you can help others. Prudence demands that for our country right now.
America first. America always.

All of my followers should also be following @ItsYourGov, the Oversight Project.
We exposed the Biden autopen presidency. And we are currently engaged in important election litigation, just to name a current initiative we have launched.
Happy Sunday!
