No, it is because of the nukes.

Nukes prevent any war from happening between any powerful nation.

If we spent 1 tenth the amount on our military, we'd still have the power to blow up the entire world X times over.

I just think that if you have the ability to destroy the entire world, then that's a powerful enough military and you don't need anything more for defense.

You actually believe that the US would use nuclear weapons against Russia, ensuring the deaths of 10s of millions of Americans and sparking global nuclear war, if Russia invaded Estonia?

The only thing preventing Eastern Europe from being invaded is the conventional military. The US will never risk it's own existence for another country. The Russians know this.

I don't want the US to be involved in proxy wars with other countries.

So no, I don't believe that the US would do that and I am happy about that.

The US would only use Nukes if there was an attack on the US.

I want the US to stay out of all wars that aren't directed related to attacks on US soil and US citizens.

If the EU is worried about invasion, then they should have their own military to defend themselves.
