SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Pakistan: US Suspends $800m of Military Aid

I really can't understand the need for US military aid for Pakistan.

I agree, pull all the aid.

I also agree to pull aid from other countries. If the US is in great economic positions, sure, it is noble to help out other countries.

But when our economy is in the crapper, and our spending is out of control. I would love to have a President who would announce a new "America First" economic plan.

How can we possibly justify spending money on other countries when our own infrastructure is crumbling due to lack of funding.

There is no Soviet Domino threat any more.

I swear, the older I get the more isolationist I am getting. Not one dime to any country until our own people are taken care of.
