This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is the booklet "If Crisis Or War Comes" which Sweden just distributed to each of its residents. The booklet has been issued 5 times since the end of WW2 (rib.msb.se)

I get the impression that people don’t like the fact our military is as big as it is. And “Why are you over here in $country?”

If Trump actually executes what I believe most conservatives want and we pull back from being the world police, people will quickly realize the value. It just might be too late by that point.

That depends on the country and local experience with the US, which differes a lot. When it comes to Europe, US presence in NATO is crucial for the region's security since WW2.

Besides what is required of us due to NATO (really REALLY hope we don't pull out of that) we dot a lot of other ancillary force projection.

This could be unfounded fears but I worry the US won't be the ones who directly feel the affects if it does happen.
