The radical left of the 60s hated war because they feared we would win, while a lot of patriotic people hate war today because they hate American deaths and the eventual national exhaustion which has destroyed every world power which has taken up the perpetual war path.

Pat has ALWAYS been an isolationist. He is only slightly tobthe left of Ron Paul

And thru most of our existence, the USA was also an isolationist nation. I see nothing wrong with taking care of our selves and mining our own business. In fact doing so is what made us a great nation. We are now in decline because we are not taking care of our selves and mining our own business.

The media doesn’t get Trump, the dems don’t get Trump, most of the GOP don’t get Trump, the Chinese don’t get Trump and many FReepers don’t get Trump.

Trump will fight for everything he ran on, he just temporarily shifts on a position as he positions whoever he is dealing with.

The Chinese are a good example. Trump knows it is best to deal with N.K. now before they develope nukes that will be real threat, and there isn’t much time before that happens.

The Chinese will put pressure on Kim and that is needed, but the Chinese can’t and won’t do enough. Once Trump has reigned in Kim ( no easy task but there is a plan in place, Trump is always thinking 8 moves ahead) he will pick up Chinese currency manipulation and unequal trade policies again, it is his signature goal going back at least 20 yrs.

SOVEIGNTY IS EVERYTHING! When you understand sovereignty you will understand how we have lost our liberties by giving Globalists like the United Nations the power over us to rule us through proxy votes of enemy nations.
You are dead set against what we need to do to REGAIN our Sovereignty because somebody put a label on something and you would rather THEY do your thinking for you.
It is obvious from your remarks that you ARE NOT FOLLOWING the executive orders and instructions to the agencies that have ALREADY been issued by the Trump administration. Do some research!

Trump has kept more of his promises than either Bush or Clinton or obozo. We are three months in. This is not a dictatorship nor a monarchy. He does have to deal with congress

Who said any different?

And what did congress do that caused us to bomb Syria and shake our missles at North Korea?

When Hillary Clinton and John McCain agree on something the president did it should be taken as a big warning that we might be going in the wrong direction.

Many of us just don't want to see President Trump get sucked into the war-mongering/globalist foreign entanglements that have bogged us down and sapped our spirit, our fortune and our military for 50 years with little to show for it.

The president was elected on the strength of his major domestic agenda items, not to get us bogged down in the foreign messes that George Bush and Barack Obama left.

Ya got any more pathetic comments lady? Maybe we should have voted for another Boosh, or Hillary and just allowed N.Korea to develop delivery systems that’ll hit any target on the planet, including where you live.

People like you don’t deserve this level of leadership.

I voted fro Trump. I support Trump. I’m nowhere near second-guessing this man. I think he’ll do fine.

That is exactly how I feel. President Trump was left the result of the worst foreign policy administration ever to deal with. Of course he has to do some things to get things where they should be.

Yeah no we weren’t.....check the history of the marines.....we engaged with pirates off the Somali coast. We have engaged with foreign nations in a violent and war like manner since day one. To suggest otherwise ignores US history

Well let’s look at what congress has given the president authority to do.....we have US troops in both locales.....we have US citizens in South Korea plus NoKo is threatening to nuke the west coast.

Trump has done nothing to fit the ridiculous Pearl clutches claims. You people need to chill ax for a moment or two. You sound as did mob as Hillary Geaham and mcshamey

You’re still out of your tree but climbing higher.

You are in good company, I think that's just about what my conservative brother thinks about my arguments when we we discuss the same subject. But I can't help but think that we have gone far astray since the end of the Cold War. I think we need more rational cold self interest instead of emotional interventions, a sober foreign policy based on realism and the balance of power rather than an eternal crisis and clash of ideologies and a foreign policy that is humble enough to recognize that God has never looked kindly on a one world order since the days of the Tower of Babel- and that includes arrogance based in Washington DC just as much as arrogance based in ancient Babylon.
