Libertarians are usually anti-war. And here Rand is absolutely right. We cant force peace between countries or provinces. And where was the media and the Democrats when Saddam was gassing the Kurds? They were awol because talking about it didnt help them politically. We really dont need to be fighting in Syria and Afghanistan both. We gain nothing by fighting in Syria.

I don’t know about that. Romney is threatening to hold hearings against Trump’s move. You never know what Congress has in mind for our president.

I have a feeling this guy would’ve objected to a declaration of war after Pearl Harbor.

If Congress wants to intervene, they have the power to declare war.
No more undeclared wars. Too many of my friends have come back from them in boxes in the last decade.

“But they’re our friends.” Or so says some neocons out there who call everyone else code pink republicans.

You see some equivalency? You think border battles in Syria are equivalent, in terms of a threat to Americans,, to the Japanese attack on our countrys soil?
If so you have a low threshold for declaring war

Thanks for putting words in my mouth, since that is not what I said at all.

I used to feel so very different about the US intervening in foreign conflicts. I questioned the patriotism and at times, even the humanity of anyone who said we should not get involved and lead that country onto the ‘right path’.
But that was a whole nineteen (19!!) years ago.
Back then, I knew nothing about RINOs, The Swamp, Fake News or the Globalists who make huge profits from warfare. Of course they don’t want it to ever stop.
I don’t think any average civilian expected us to be still deeply involved in those countries until this present day.
I recall reading that WW2 lasted just what? 4 or 5 years.
I’m thinking, surely, this won’t be such a long ride like that one.
To: rintintin
Like it or not, while our enemies make deals with people, we have idiot fudd globalists spending money to make people get along like it is marriage counseling between uncivilized people.
We have the idiots

"I recall reading that WW2 lasted just what? 4 or 5 years."
in four years, we went from ostensibly neutral to forcing the unconditional surrender of two major world powers on the other sides of two oceans who had spent over a decade arming up and consolidating their positions.
In the amount of time we've spent in Afghanistan, we not only defeated Japan and Germany, but were well on our way to rebuilding the cities of our allies and our former enemies.

You overreacted a bit I got his point immediately I know how thread ownership feels when you birthed the thread and feel responsibility for it but you have to stand back and let it mature on its own ... 👍

Yup. It ain’t like the Middle East nations won’t still be fighting among themselves a thousand years from now, no matter what the US does or doesn’t do today. There’s no amount of US blood or treasure that will change it.

The irony is turkey is a nato partner and we do have legal obligations to them
Unfortunately they are nearly a rogue nation
How many people did Erdogan kill in his faux coup?
