Great except the military pollutes more than 140 countries and there are several wars ongoing. If you really want the climate to stop changing we need to reel in the international shipping industry, the fashion industry, and also the global war machine.
You also have to admit that the US covers for most of the worlds military. Most of nato and many Asian allies have very low defense spending, because the US will cover them. Most of the time when there is a global crisis or localized crisis the US is involved in one way or another.
They should pay us for this service.
"Hey France, are you subscribed to the American security apparatus?"
I was shooting heroin and reading "The Fountainhead" in the pilothouse of my privately owned aircraft carrier when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was France. “Hey France, are you subscribed to the American security apparatus?”
France has nukes, they'll be fine without you yanks.
France will be fine because they're surrounded by allies and Russia can't conquer Europe no matter how much Soviet surplus they run out of.
"It sure would be a shame if anything happened to that nice country of yours..."
Believe you mean "modernize" and not "reel in," because ending international shipping would be catastrophic worldwide.
If we're being pedantic, the post said "reel in" international shipping, not "ending".
