Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, says America needs to stop being the “world’s police” and start being the “world’s gun store” 🇺🇸
“I think the best way for the United States to contribute to world stability is to stop being the world’s police and start being the world’s gun store, and get serious about it.
Instead of saying, ‘It’s OK that we’re kind of a crappy gun store because we’re going to come and save your ass when shit hits the fan,’ we should say, ‘No, no, no. We’re going to give you everything you need to fight for your own freedom.’
Look, you’re our friend, you’re our ally. We’ll give you everything you need. We’ll give you support. We’ll give you intelligence. But we’re not going to fight your war for you.
Because I don’t think the American people have it in us to go do another two decades of adventures in the Middle East, or adventures in Europe, or adventures in Asia.
We don’t have it in us.”
Would the American people benefit more from being the world‘s gun store instead of being the world police? We’d be able maintain a strong military without having to deploy troops and restock missile capacity. Less deficit spending, and more money back in American taxpayers pockets.
