"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them."
And who said this:
"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations—entangling alliances with none."
I think x answered you perfectly Reagan did not endorse neo-conservatism
What did all that get America? Homeless everywhere, trillions in debt, foreign policies that are looting what is left of the American treasure, wide open lawless borders etc...
The last several wars we won NOTHING but death and debt.
Enough!
Not everyone is Hitler but that is the ‘Party Line’ of the Neocon Uniparty Globalists.
You dare not question it.
Your reading assignment for tonight is the link in Post #51.
There will be a quiz.
So you admit that sticking our noses in other nation's business and imposing an embargo (an act of war on our part) lead to the attack. Thank you. I rest my case.
Russians aren’t Communists anymore that’s why the Neocon Hillarycons whose roots are Marxist want to go after Russia.
It’s not my path.
That threat came back after the Cold War, and we missed it.
The Soviet Union ended 35 years ago.
Your geriatric pond scum, plain and simple.
Sure, we could have worked with a KGB agent who said that the collapse of the Soviet empire "was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century".
What the hell does that even mean?
Reagan was the quintessential neocon.
My two cents in this World War I the original sin World War II and the Cold War came out of World War I necessitated by it now we must move away from war.
Japan attacked US. You sit on your keyboard typing, WHEN FAR BETTER MEN THAN YOU fought and died to stop these threats to the US. You discust me.
Reagan left Beirut real quick, never to return. Interventionist lesson learned the hard way.
Yelsten was PM at the time. Clinton deserves the blame there. He was more focusing on meddling in Yougosalvia, where we had no busniess.
True
In a stocky, Neanderthal sort of way, I suppose. Do get the chicks. Here's me after a recent concert.
Then kma,my Grat- Grandfather almost died fighting Nazis to free Iews in Europe.
Lews? iews? Ewes? Lous? He wouldn't have almost died had we kept to ourselves.
Did Russian imperialism end 35 years ago?
That was as long as people here thought it would be another stalement like WWI. That changed once France fell, and the reports of the Blitz on England reached US shores, and the Japs and Germans allied together to threaten the US on both coasts. By then most Americans supported Aid to Britain, even if it brought the US into the war.
