Deterring whom exactly?

US paid 22% of NATO’s military and civilian budget [0]. No other developed country spends 3+% on fighter jets, drones etc. It’s just a waste of ressources and does not bring any peace and protection to the world.

Russia invades Germany: yeah, I’d rather learn Russian than become the nuclear playground for the US and Russia. The world stage has seen enough examples. Like WHY exactly would Russia or China start a war with anybody? Nukes would end the world as we know it. Don’t need 100, just a handful.
