First of all WE HAVE BEEN SHOWING UP when needed.. why you have been actively ignoring all the times I asked you to mention when we haven't lived up to our task or not showed up!
Second - our defense IS up to the task in terms of our national defense as well as our founding role in NATO!
( as a nation that weekly repels Russian planes from our airspace and as a nation that controls the access to and from the Baltic sea we are well aware of our risks and the dangers of our situation )

We learned from our mistake of neutrality 70 years ago - ( a thing that served us well doing WW1 ) - why we are a founding NATO member - why we have a conscription system to this day - why our forests are full of military weapons depots - why we have a force of 30.000 people who despite normal jobs and lives have their weapons and gear at home and in case of conflict have specific tasks they will perform autonomously regardless of the state of the nation or defense forces ( wink wink ) - why about 1/3 males have been trained in a specific military function and by law are required to serve in case of conflict.. etc etc..

Uncle Sam has been losing virtually all wars for the last 65 years and made the world a very unstable and conflict filled place.. all while undermining it's own social system and population's wealth... so you really shouldn't feel so entitled!
Our lives comes down to our productivity, social and political system - if you want to take any blame for anything here I can give you obesity
No honestly - being 100% serious the US is an example to us in a direction we don't want to go, so it actually works great as a contrast and is a very commonly used place to put things in perspective both for citizens and politicians alike..
The sad part is it's without a doubt the US is the nation with the world's greatest potential - but sadly from our perspective have a tendency to make all the wrong choices and pays a hefty price for that..
Anyways - this is really getting pointless - you feel entitled and I disagree - you then ignore facts and try to troll and I poke fun at our contrasting worlds and we rinse repeat..
How about we just agree to disagree?
