When we give billions of dollars in aid and provide military equipment and training to countries who support us, are we being helpful to those people and their economy, or evil in that we are rewarding only those loyal to our cause?
I believe i've heard our allies called "hired zombies", their loyalties purchased like so many cheap suits. I'd be curious what those people think about this realignment.

American troops means American bases means American cash to the local
economy and that's not even addressing the free defense that American
bases/troops supply. We pull out of some European bases and Europe will have
to start paying for their own troops and adjust their economies to deal with
less American dollars coming in.
