More mockery from those whose freedom is ensured by the US.

The US nearly alone protects the sea lanes around the world and has done so for decades. Self-interest? Sure. But it doesn't have to do that in the Indian Ocean or the Persian Gulf but it does so anyway to ensure its allies in Asia and Australia are protected.

Ditto for protecting Western Europe from Soviet invasion at the risk of a nuclear assault on its own cities. The same in NE Asia for decades. 

Snidely mock all you want and be ungrateful. Just be sure to thank us later.
