The time has come to tell Americans that
there is no escape from global responsibility, that they have to think beyond the protection of the homeland. They need to understand that the purpose of NATO and other alliances is to defend not against direct threats to U.S. interests but against a
breakdown of the order that best serves
those interests. They need to be told honestly that the task of maintaining a world order is unending and fraught with costs but preferable to the alternative.
So $1.7T today, $2.7T tomorrow, get used to it, there is no “escape from global responsibility” even if your citizens don’t have shelter, food, or healthcare. We can’t have the global order or the interest it serves breakdown.
