A. The US spends more money and has a much larger military force than Sweden and Finland
B. US presence in the geopolitical space serves as a deterrent against possible aggression against any countries on good terms with the US
C. If a deterrent like the US did not exist, other countries would have to spend more money to continue protecting themselves effectively
D. Just because Finland and Sweden have militaries and neutrality practices does not mean that the US no longer exists as a global peacemaker against aggression towards countries on friendly terms with it
Please tell me which of these is an alternative reality. I can then educate you on why you’re wrong and we can move on.
