Not until we took up fracking. It changes the game by giving us more flexibility, but the same fundamentals are the same. Our assets are already there and we have a position to project and maintain.
The rest of the world destabilizes if the ME explodes. World War still happens and we get sucked into it because our economies are so interconnected. Look wider. What we have to do is protect American interests. It will be ceded to globalists if we let em lead.
I’m an American. I don’t trust any of them.
That’s just sick. Your thinking is truly twisted if you think that.
“”Let’s be honest here, folks ... Who wouldn’t be thrilled to hear that the U.S. Border Patrol was using sarin gas along the Mexican border?””
Are you kidding?? Where are you coming from??
Think of all the evil doers in charge of countries. Let’s assume the guy used gas on his people and killed a hospital of new borns. If he did that to an ally or us, then nuke his ass. In my opinion it’s not our business.
Now if we want to use that to get him out, then let’s have ra bigger reason and a better replacement. Meanwhile Russia got there first while Obama spilled red paint on himself and wet his pants. Too late.
There are only two causes worth fighting in the middle east, changing the regime in Iran and killing ISIL dead. That’s what we should have gone after instead of trying to bitch slap the guy in Iraq who plotted against his father.
We should focus on Iran and NK and let Russia have Syria. Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.
Exactly. What happened? We are becoming a nation of pussies. Tough love needs tough action sometimes. This is a clear warning shot to other rogue nations that a new sheriff is in town. We mean what we say.
Sorry, I trusted Bush’s intel. I later learned instances of how specifically the intel was manipulated to show a certainty of WMDs when it showed no such thing.
Now I still am not sure if there were significant WMDs there, but that’s not the point. As to all the loyal people working there perhaps they should have mutinied against Brennan. Personally I have only known one CIA analyst and she was a flaming leftist.
So when are Hillary and her cohorts who supplied ISIS with those chemicals weapons Syria blew up, GOING TO JAIL?
Patience, grasshopper. You can only eat the elephant one bite at a time.
Just north of the Mexican border in Arizona. It's like Times Square during rush hour with all the pedestrians running through my ranch.
It's all the original FR Never-Trumpers. Some ended up voting for Trump but still take every perceived misstep as an opportunity to bash him, flail their arms above their heads and scream, "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" (or words to that effect.)
Thank you for your comments. I’ve had my say on a number of threads. It gets repetitive after a while.
I understand where you are coming from.
Sometimes your actions are as much about object lessons as they are about tangible destruction.
North Korea’s Kim is on notice right now. Trump has made it very clear he’s not going to put up with that tyrant much longer.
I can guarantee you, Kim is thinking a lot right now.
2013? That’s news? Trump was president? Chill.
In many ways this one-off attack against a Syrian air base is a tempest in a teapot. It is in response to a Syrian use of chemical weapons. There is no indication that the US will follow this attack with more military action directed against the Assad regime.
At the same time, the US has been bombing ISIS targets within Syria for months on almost a daily basis and we now have over 1,000 military personnel inside the country. We are doing this without the approval of the Assad regime. We have technically violated the territory of a sovereign country. Yet, tonight's attack against a Syrian air base has some of these posters clutching their pearls and crying the sky is falling.
Some people are born to be customers, I guess.
It sure proves that propaganda works, doesn't it?
Jim,
A ping so you see what Alberta’s Child is posting on your site, truly sickening and evil.
Exactly!
Yep. That’s what I am doing. I’m definitely uneasy, but I can also see some positive aspects to this. Still didn’t want him doing this though.
