Nonsense. First of all, I have not even claimed that the US needs not defense at all. But it needs much less than what it actually spends.
First of all, no one said you claimed the US needs no defense at all...oops. Facts matter comrade. You wrote:
No, I'm unhappy with the United States, a country with some 300 mio people which tries to rule a world of 8 000 mio people. I would have no problem with the US if they would peacefully sit in their state and do there what they like. Given their territory, and their neighbours, they would not need much defense at all, but they spend more for weapons that the next ten states or so together, have military bases all over the world, are involved in almost all wars.
To which I wrote:
Using the same line of reasoning, your beloved Mother Russia needs no defense at all. So why is it enlarging it's military?
As is your custom, you aren't being honest comrade.
LOL, the US taxpayers pay much more than the taxpayers elsewhere, not because they need it themselves, but to help, completely selfless, many many other countries. Which, after US-paid regime change, ask for US support.
And where is the credible evidence to back this up comrade? Just what states are you referring to exactly? The fact his you beloved Russia, i.e. Soviet Union, had to put up walls to keep people from fleeing to the West. Where is you evidence? You don't have any credible evidence. You never do.
Yes, and the bases in Germany and Japan are there, of course, only because the Germans and Japanese could not defend themselves without the US and ask for US help all the time.
I don't think the Germans and Japanese are as weak as you have made them out to be. Each has their own military, and they don't ask the US for help all the time. But you know what comrade? That's what friends do. They help each other. The US needs help from Germany and Japan too. It's not a one way street. You Russians haven't figured that out yet. You are still operating in Ivan the Terrible mode.
To ensure that it remains irrelevant, instead of becoming an instrument of starting wars. There has been the example of the Korea war, where the US used the fact that the Soviets have left the UNSC discussion to make a UNSC resolution to start a war.
Unfortunately for you comrade the world isn't as dumb as you need them to be. The Korean War with Russian and Chinese support began when North Korea, a Soviet (i.e Russian) satellite state, invaded South Korea. The UN Security Council resolution which you referred to was invoked after North Korea had invaded South Korea in a surprise attack. Facts matter comrade, this isn't your beloved Mother Russia.
"Korea was
ruled by Japan from 1910 until the closing days of
World War II. In August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, as a result of an agreement with the United States, and liberated Korea north of the
38th parallel. U.S. forces subsequently moved into the south. By 1948, as a product of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, Korea was split into two regions, with separate governments. Both governments claimed to be the legitimate government of Korea, and neither side accepted the border as permanent.
The conflict escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces—supported by the Soviet Union and China—moved to the south to unite the country on 25 June 1950.[40]On that day, the United Nations Security Council recognized this North Korean act as invasion and called for an immediate ceasefire.[41] On 27 June, the Security Council adopted
S/RES/83: Complaint of aggression upon the Republic of Korea and decided the formation and dispatch of
the UN Forces in Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the defense of South Korea, with the United States providing 88% of the UN's military personnel.

I'm not a comrade of NATO propagandists. And I have not made any claims about how much criticism I have. I have simply clarified that I would not, for moral reasons, do this criticism here, in a forum full of Russian-haters.
Well, there is the thing comrade, you haven't been able to prove NATO has propaganda...oops.
This forum isn't full of "Russian haters". This forum is full of people who like truth and reason. Russia could be a responsible members of society, but it has chosen a darker path. It has returned to its roots. It has returned to fascism and militarism. And that troubles people in this forum and elsewhere. We aren't exited about the reemergence of another Hitler in Europe.
Nonsense. I have a lot of sources which are in no way Russian state propaganda, and are also in no way Western propaganda. The internet is full of interesting places.
Unfortunately comrade, it isn't nonsense. You don't use credible sources. You exclusively use Russian propaganda. Again, if you want any degree of credibility, you need to be honest. Yes, the internet is full of "interesting" places. But that doesn't mean those "interesting" places are credible or truthful, especially when they can be easily disproved.
Of course, some military is necessary in the actual world. But it would be cheap and easy enough for the US, given that it has nuclear weapons, to prevent everybody else from attacking the US.
Again, the same is true of your beloved Mother Russia. So why is it you continue to ignore Russian military aggression directed against its smaller neighbors? Why is it you zealously defend Russia's repeated invasions, occupations, and annexations of the lands of its smaller neighbors?
Are you suggesting that every time the US feels threatened it uses its nuclear arsenal? If so, that's pretty damn stupid even for you comrade? When pirates attack a US commercial vessel are you suggesting we nuke them? Are you suggesting the US should have nuked Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 attack? That's more than a little overkill comrade. If what you assert were true, there would be a lot of nuclear detonations in the world and a lot of nuclear fallout. Think comrade, think!.
Unfortunately for you and your beloved Mother Putina, the world is not yet as insane as you would have them be.
No. I'm very happy that it is irrelevant. I would like to have it even more irrelevant. A world government would be the worst thing imaginable in the future. Because it would immediately and shortly degenerate into a totalitarian world government.
As I asked you before, if it is so irrelevant as you have repeatedly asserted, then why is it your beloved Mother Russia maintains a United Nations membership? Instead of wasting your precious money participating in the United Nations, why not use it to feed Russians? You keep avoiding those questions.
The unfortunate fact for you is that the United Nations does exist, and has existed for some time, and plays an important role. And it hasn't "immediately and shortly degenerated into a totalitarian world government". I just find it so ironic that you of all people complain about totalitarian government when you live in and support a tyrannical government where speech is not free, and is strictly controlled by government. Frankly, I find it dishonest.
I should've included a [/s] tag?
