S2 Ep1014: Adam Kinzinger: Mortal Damage to the American Empire

Yeah. And by the way, one of the great ironies is the conservatives were set to crush it in Canada. And that's not the case anymore because of Trump. Yeah. I mean, look, it's a smart speech. And here's the thing. What the moguls will tell you is, well, this is really good because we've always wanted the world to step up and do more. And that's not really true.

Now, first off, I mean, yes, we will always want to drew up to spend more on defense. That's important. We haven't wanted Europe to basically become a competitor to us, kick us out of the realm and basically be a competition because listen,

When the United States, for instance, liberated South Korea, when we took down the Nazis, we took down the Japanese, we invested a ton of money in rebuilding those economies. And we've gotten that back 100, 200, maybe even 1,000 times of what we've invested because we have great trade relationships. Obviously, Samsung, you think in South Korea, you think of BMW in Germany, whatever.

All this stuff has been beneficial to us. We get to write the rules of trade for the world. We get to be the ones to determine freedom of navigation of the seas. This is one of the things that annoyed me about the Signal chat more than anything. J.D. Vance on there talking about how basically Europe needs to be cleaning up the Red Sea and the Houthis.

And, you know, stupid Pete Hegseth agreeing with it. Well, guess what? The United States Navy has always claimed to be the ones that are going to enforce freedom of navigation of the seas. And by the way, every time we've bombed the Houthis up until the Trump administration, sometimes the French and always the British have been with us. to help in those bombings.

But instead, we have basically said to the countries in the past, we are going to be in charge of freedom of navigation. It's been beneficial to us. And now all of a sudden, we're mad at Europe for not doing it, even though we said this was our responsibility. And so what we're doing is we're giving up these leverage. Look, I get it. The United States is a very generous country.

And I honestly think we benefit from that generosity. But if you think that for 200 years we've built this post-World War II order out of generosity and not because it does good things for us, you're insane. This is amazing for us, and we're blowing it up because somebody on Fox News wants to go on and make a five-second cheap line about how Europe needs to pull its own weight. And it's insane.
