Well.... a small table, I would say that it is up to the viewer to decide whether it is table tennis or "real" tennis ... but there is no reason to waste time on this, there are more important things, the main thing that you are satisfied with the posting,

Who needs who's money? UN would be a glorified red cross agency without US wargear and funding. Hello, largest ($) army in the world.

In case wikipedia is too fake for the hardcores, I found another site.

(this site is really informative)

Who needs who?

I am not saying we are gods for being so stout militaristically. Just saying no one else even comes close...

So who needs who?

Some of our individual State GDPs surpass entire countries (California, Texas)
Population and men of military age is another matter.

I am not one to be cocky over Americas imperialism, but I won't let our role in the world be discounted, good or bad.

Just sayin, I still love you. Our tanks might not, but I do

My opinion in the case, America's commitment in the world, it is already crystal clear the country has created the conditions for many, and the balance between the various pacts during decades of clashes in different parts of our society, I see no reason to break this, regardless of money.

And I wish it wasn't so. All that money we spend could go to destroying true capitalism even further by bailing out the sloppy to big to fails.

Like our big sloppy banks here, and Greece and Spain there.

Meanwhile the Chinese laugh all the way to the bank.

Not so sure that is the case but only time will eventually tell.

China has its own problems ... so they laugh all the time to the bank, I do not think.
