Europe, Japan . . . ? Forgot about that little thing called World War II, Mister Ambassador?

Where do we get people like this, really? They think they know better than their predecessors. George Washington said that the USA must be “at all times ready for War”; Frederick the Great said “(d)iplomacy without force of arms is like music without instruments”; and people like Young think they can rewrite thousands of years of human history by wishing it away.

Wars do work.

But there is a trick to it.

You have to fight like you are going to destroy every thing in your path.

When the cost to the enemy reaches a certain point, you win.

And you set an example to others that messing with you has bad results.

Ever since WWII, we have fought like little girls. Not the men on the front lines, but the weenies in DC.

Wars don’t work? In what way?

People die and stuff gets broke, lots of people get rich putting it back together again.

Seems to work just fine.

Might even be effective at stopping fascistic dictators from genocide as well.

Then again, maybe we should have let Hitler have his way.

Europe, Eastern Europe and South American have way to many languages. They could have been unified under one language, one monetary system, etc.

Heck, the world might have even invited Goose stepping and Duck walking as Olympic sports.

Take a gander at that. Oughtta Quack you up.

Fruit cake.

WWII didn’t work. We ended up giving the commies nearly everything we fought Japs and Nazis for. Except for France, Holland, Belgium, etc. In Western Europe. But I don’t figure that to have been worth it.

How do people get this stupid? No really can someone explain it to me? How the hell does a person just ignore the history of the planet, say something this stupid and not be carted of with an ass full of Thorazine and a tight white coat?

Zimbabwe and Cuba aren’t problems for the US. We don’t like seeing their people oppressed, but neither country is really a threat to us.

The problem with the Iranians and the Norks is that their leaders are arguably not rational, which means the whole idea of making peace by giving their people jobs is not really rational, either.

With the Norks in particular I’ve always wondered what the point of negotiations is. You know prior to the start of negotiations that they won’t keep any agreement you reach, so what’s the purpose of expending time and effort to reach one?

I don’t get it.

” - - - because wars don’t work.”

Well, UNDECLARED wars don’t work out as expected.

Lemme see now, was WW2 the last DECLARED War for the USA?

Yup, libtards are moving towards governments killing their own people instead of foreigners doing it.

How is Zimbabwe a problem for the US?

The people it harms is the few remaining Rhodesians who didn’t see the writing on the wall, and the people who got what they wanted with Mugabe, a third world Marxist dictator.

“we found nonviolent ways to have regime change through evolution rather than through war.”

That nonviolent way was superior firepower and the clear willingness to become very very violent with it on short notice.

There is no f.ing way I will trust this government to start a real war again after the GWB and Obama disasters.

This country is bankrupt from useless wars and welfare that got us nothing but deaths, maimed and debt (and DEMOCRATS TRUSTED).

Lets do what China is doing, they are growing stronger and stronger. Let France do the next unappreciated liberation.

If it hadn’t been for that little thing called the Civil War, Andrew Young would still be pickin’ cotton in the fields of Georgia.

Andrew Young is an overrated, mental midget. I don’t speak German or Japanese.

“The only places where we have real troubles are Zimbabwe..."

Zimbabwe? is Omaba running a war he hasn;t told Congress about. Maybe that's where the 1.6 billion rouns of ammo have gone.
