The current regime keeps finding new lows to stoop too !

History has proven that democrat presidents stick their head in the sand and create more of a mess where if we dealt with matters at the time, war could have been adverted. There will be a severe price to be paid for this. Happened with Carter when he threw Shah under the bus, happened with FDR when he ignored the saber rattling from Japan, happened with Kennedy/Johnson with Vietnam.

FDR tried to avoid war but he never compromised American security wrt Japan. He was building up our military in the run up to the war, opposed every step of the way by Republicans with their heads in the sand who constantly accused him of being a “war-monger”. Remember the America First Committee?

Kennedy and Johnson ignored sabre rattling in Vietnam? What history are you reading. They both vastly increased our involvement, the latter even seizing upon a phony “attack” in the Gulf of Tonkin Incident to ramp up the war big time tricking Congress into giving him “the functional equivalent of a Declaration of War” according to Fulbright.
