I am a Sage and a great strategist.
I will answer your questions but first let me give you a taste of the future so you understand how bad a situation you are in.
China is about to legalise bitcoin as a legal currency. They have been farming it with botnets for years, and with Japan already using it as a currency and Russian considering they could undermine the ENTIRE global market in seconds with their announcement of their holdings of Bitcoin and Gold.
China is NOT weak, they are stronger than you can imagine, and they have their invisible claws in Africa and Australia.
America is safe and you could not possibly undertstand how impossible Trumps position is, but he is actually good, and he had two choices upon taking the helm: Bolster the country or stabilize it, and he chose to Bolster it. You can't see most of what he's doing but 90% of it's being voided in the courts anyway.
The departments are full of Never Trumpers and they ignore him and bury everything in bureaucracy.
He is reaching for Military might in Allies that will act as strongpoints to stand against a Chinese alliance attack moving westward, he doesn't care about Israel, or SA, he wants them to have enough strength to give china hell when it attempts to take them.
China IS a tiger, and a tiger will go for easy meat.
Saudi Arabia has oil for war, Israel has Strategists, Afghanistan has medication for prolonged battle and you must understand, the Chinese army needs a lot of drugs to fight.
Trump is not stupid, he knows he will be shot and he is doing everything he can while he is alive to make it impossible for them to take America easily.
