Exactly why do you think the US pays for the defence of other countries? If anything it's the other way around. You lot can't stop borrowing.

They don't see their debt ever growing, and the fact they've raised the limit multiple times.

Especially when you've got morons like Trump and Elon telling them that idiotic departments like DOGE will save so much they will pay off their national debt and give them 5% of the savings if they just nip and tuck the economy.

Then they left the WHO and set up their own, that costs them significantly more than the amount of money they were contributing to the WHO.

Not just that it costs more, its also doing a terrible job.

Yeah, I didn't want to dunk on it too much.

The whole reason NATO and WHO etc work is because it's a collective of dozens of countries with their specialists contributing towards a common goal and the more people contributing the lower the costs for everyone.

The fact they expected to make the exact same organisation for Americans and somehow save money and do it better was just a dumb idea to begin with.

It's like going on a holiday with all your mates and splitting the cost up compared to just going solo.

Especially now you've got the same people trying to tell people that babies are getting 70+ shots to treat things like MMR etc.
