Maybe it's time the U.S. stops this bullsh!t of building dysfunctional "nations" in these Third World sh!t-holes all over the place.

If that was important to us, we should have elected Hillary Clinton to carry on the George W. Bush legacy.

Newsweek is one of the worst news outlets. I ask myself what is their angle.

It’s gotten so bad we have foreigners on this sites calling long-time members and veterans “Putinista”.

That sh!t pisses me off. And I’ll not put up with it anymore.

They were already dysfunctional. The reason we’re there is because they were our sworn enemies and dysfunctional in ways that killed Americans. We’re trying to transform the dysfunction in ways that channel it in other directions.

The problem with many of these countries is the existence of mutually irreconcilable factions in the same country, minority rule by one of the factions and a long list of other maladies. One result was the need to unite the country by pointing the finger at an external enemy. The problem is that they all tended to point the finger at Uncle Sam, which is how we came under attack from them. The breakup of these countries will help focus their energies against their new neighbors, which will help Uncle Sam in his quest for a quiet life.
