Not really.
No, 100%.
As an aside, you also mentioned that the Dems didn't see China as an urgent threat
They do not. The democrats are essentially useless on national security.
while in the next breath saying we were no longer going to "bankroll" [your exact word] the lifestyles of "partners" [referring to foreign nations]
Which is also true.
Which just adds context to your comments in this thread, basically saying the Colombia shouldn't have a problem with US military aircraft in their airspace (and if they do, they can lump it apparently).
I'm saying they made a mountain out of a molehill for the purposes of testing Trump. It's a fairly simple point.
So, China is an urgent threat, but we should bully and abuse our partners to get our way, regardless of international norms or courtes
This is your logic, which I reject.
