The only solution I can see is to shrink our military by half.

....On some levels it is annoying, but we really are the only ones that can do it

Japan is doing more now, but the Yen is shaky. We needed the TPP, Trump will screw up Asia, but we will have Australia, the UK, India and a few smaller ones. We need to keep Ukraine in play and the Republicans are untrustworthy. We need to keep China from attempting to build the last island and seal off the S China Sea.
