(CNN) — Donald Trump on Saturday reiterated his belief that Japan should arm itself to deter a threat from North Korea rather than have the U.S. military protect the longtime ally against the rogue nuclear nation.

Meanwhile, Trump throughout the day maintained that the U.S. should pressure NATO member states to begin "paying their fair share."

But on Saturday, Trump again pointed to the spiraling U.S. debt as a key reason for the country to rethink its military commitments abroad.

"We can't be the policeman to the world and have $19 trillion in debt, going up to $21 trillion," Trump said.

Agreed, but not for lack of trying. We gotta manage to export our BS FRN inflation somewhere.

Sounds like Ron Paul foreign policy from 2008, I will take Trumps foreign policy over, both Clinton's, both Bush's, Obama's, McCains, Romney's.

It basically says screw the neocons and the greedy Military Industrial Complex.

Pulling out of Japan so you'll have more troops to conquer the entire middle east and put all the oil in supertankers is not exactly contrary to the desires of either neocons or the MIC. It's just a call for more profitable imperialism.

How does that even remotely resemble anything Ron Paul said, again...?
