U.S. in trouble, outnumbered

Oct. 1, 2015 Updated Thu., Oct. 1, 2015 at 2:06 p.m.

Since we are not spending millions on an Iraq war, where is that money going now? The debt keeps going up daily.

Also, the powers in charge of our country state that Russia would not dare start a war with the United States because we are superior in military power. I thought we cut the military budget 25 percent. If Russia comes after us, it will have China, Iran, Syria and all their allies with them.

Our allies will not stand up with us. We are in trouble, and outnumbered. No wonder people are leaning towards non-politicians.
