I would be against attacking Mexico for stationing Chinese (or Russian) bases and weapons, particularly nuclear.

I would DEMAND that the US tolerate the buildup on our border and NOT DO ANYTHING until we were physically attacked or invaded.

I make that demand because I am an idealist and it is NEVER justified to be the first side to use force against a neighboring country. NEVER!!!!

But not before giving a sermon about the righteousness of doing it.

“NEVER!!!!”

Not even when a foreign state sponsors drug importation, human trafficking, cross border gangs, human invasion and relies on their citizens to repatriate funds from the USA as part of their GDP?

Depending on how you interpret events, the Monroe Doctrine died Oct 1962. Khrushchev traded his Cuban missiles for our missiles close to the USSR. Cuban sovereignty as a communist nation was guaranteed from US interference. Nikita is portrayed as the one who blinked, but he achieved his objectives.

Doesn’t matter. Since I’m an idealist, it is NEVER permitted to invade a neighboring country, regardless of what they’re doing or threaten to do.

If Russia wasn’t led by a recalcitrant Soviet dictator I’d care. Until Russia stops being a threat to its neighbors it needs to be contained or defeated.

Then you agree that Russia’s war against Ukraine is wrong?

Putin/ Biden, both elected by shady means. I see biden as just a big a menace to the world as Russia, given that he has a cranium but no brain in it
