This only proves that there is no free press in the US.
you ain’t kidding...this is like tabloid reactionary material...where’s the critical thinking?
This article and other similiar articles are reached by going to townhall.com..
Some hand in building is necessary to those who would wage war on the scale of the US. Vacuums get filled with what we don’t want, if we don’t set them up to be filled with what we do want. What is built, however, is important. The typical Muslim society needs a democracy like a fish needs a bicycle. It would not know what to do with it.
Emasculation?
It’s RE-masculation and DE-hillarization.
I’ve noticed of late that Hotair/townhall have been very anti-Trump! I’m tired of their hit pieces against him...as of today I will no longer visit their sites and will remove them from my bookmarks!
Thanks for the link.
Most of these supposedly conservative sites and talk show hosts are like the dinosaurs after the meteor strike, thanks to Trump!
So will NR. Because look at where standing athwart history has gotten us. We are living in the dystopia the Founders feared.
Townhall has really went down the tubes.
I hope all these "Conservative Piranhas" eat each other trying to keep their ill-deserved gigs!
What foreign policy?
Look at the shambles republicans and democrats have made of the world since July 1990.
In July 1990, under president H.W. Bush, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, met with Saddam Hussein and discussed the impending Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
Ambassador Glaspie told Saddam that “the Kuwait issue is not associated with America”, essentially giving him the US okay to invade.
In August, 1990 Saddam invaded Kuwait.
In January 1991 the US led forces invaded Kuwait and forced Iraq1 forces out in what is known as the firdt Gulf War.
That action led to the ongoing military containment of Iraq, the 9/11 attack on the USA, the second Gulf War, the fall of Iraq, the rise of Iranian power in the mideast, the fall of Libya, Egypt, Syria, etc., etc., etc.
Read miore about April Glaspie’s actions here:
Couple of observations:
* Townhall is a satellite of National Review which, after Bill Buckley, has morphed into a gaggle of R establishment schmucks and assorted Nancy Boys like Lowery and this jurno clown.
* Lord Palmerston, British PM, said it best in a minimum of words: “Great Nations have neither allies nor friends; they simply have interests.”
Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya all had secular governments... oppressive dictatorships ..but not religious extremists.
The US, under both R and D acted to nation build by deposing the secular governments ... to be replaced by religious extremists.
Secular Russia jumped in to help secular Syria.
Secular Egypt regained control from the Brotherhood.
In the others secular governments were replaced by something worse.
Why is it the US (both parties) targets secular governments to overthrow and do nation-building?
Huge meltdown among Dems with the WikiLeaks story, and Town Hall posts hit pieces on Trump?
We need to purge the Republican party after Trump wins.
Trump called rebuilding our military to be so strong we never have to use it. The statement is entirely consistent with the above. Who wants to go through the drama of the cold war ever again? It was expensive.
And, it is our neocons who have got us in trouble with Russia. When the soviet union collapsed, it was still a nuclear superpower - lest anyone forget - capable of reducing us to cinders. But our neocons insisted on poking the bear while he was wounded. How's that working out for us now? Our neocons keep thinking we can walk right up to the Russian border and they can say nothing.
And, our neocons thought we could swindle the Russians out of their Black Sea ports by cozying up to the Ukraine. Suppose we saw the Chinese making whopee with native Hawaiians in a move to get us out of Pearl Harbor.
Look at it from the Russian perspective. How about if we saw Chinese carriers docking in Pierre and Miquelon Islands? And we don't have a millenium of Russian paranoia about foreign invaders - though we are beginning to learn.
Our neocons have to be about the dumbest folks in the world. They wanted to play the Great Game and move the pieces around the chess board. But it's not a game for silly children.
Don't get out much, huh?
Townhall is a leading "invade the world, invite the world" pusher.
Hey fool, why do you keep posting these anti trump articles?
A strong demurral:
* Bush 1 was correct while Bush 2 was a foreign policy moron. If the latter had a solitary brain he might have grasped that Saddam Hussein was the mortal enemy of the Mullahs of Iran, our greater enemy. Hence Saddam was our “friend” who we should have left alone. By removing him, we gave Iran a free hand to set the Mid-East on fire and the West is now paying for it.
* At its core, the Great War was an extension of the ancient and enduring enmity between the Gauls and the Saxons, continually referenced by Julius Caesar in his War Dispatches to Rome. It was never any of our business. Wilson, like Bush; another pious moron who wore his sanctimonious humanitarianism on his sleeve insisted we make the world safe for Democracy. Predictably, the Europeans laughed him out of their continent.
The wise Lord Palmerston correctly asserted that “Great Nations have neither allies nor friends; they simply have interests.”
America's foreign policy is about defending AMERICAN interests abroad. If that means disengaging from the corrupt and counter-productive UN, so be it. If that means imposing expectations on our "allies," so be it. If that means alienating our tepid sunshine supporters, so be it. If we're going to expend American lives and treasure on behalf of a culture halfway around the world, then we have the right to expect some return on that investment.
None of that is counter to the prevailing conservative canon. Nor is it an endorsement of the craven policies of this current quisling administration, whose only foreign policy seems to be lies sandwiched with cowardice.
