14. But there is strength in numbers
Thu Nov 7, 2024, 09:00 PM

If someone attacks the US I'd like to know other countries have our backs. Obviously, those countries have the same discretion, but the coalition helps give other enemy countries pause. Without the US as part of NATO, expect Russia and North Korea to feel the freedom to attack other countries. This weakens the US as well and makes us vulnerable.
