The U.S. needs to stay out of wars except for those that benefit America

Sounds like the only war he would have wanted us to get into was WW2, but he thinks that wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t get involved in WW1. So essentially, he thinks we can just not get involved in any wars at all and somehow the world will be just peachy keen and not be subjugated under the thumb of others who would use their power ruthlessly against us as well in the end.

This type of thinking, in reality, would just lead to us having to fight the same enemies in many cases, but alone, without allies, and when those enemies are much stronger.

We went in and got him. I’m sure there were official apologies from the upper levels of Pakistani politics, uh huh, yeah right. They have their own deep state to deal with.

I prefer the old days. Someone gives us reason to hit them (i.e. 911) then we go as conquerors. Go in do our business and get out. Let them pick up the pieces. No more “liberator” bull. They hit us again...repeat until they get the message.

THAT!

This "Benefit" crap is what DemoKKKrats have been doing, and are projecting on everyone else including Foreigners.

... the left tries to manage the lives of people here in the US, they also seek to manage the lives of people around the world whenever feasible. Notably, except for the Spanish-American and Gulf Wars, these actions were undertaken by Democrats, though the Bushes have at least an asterisk in that regard.

True.

Excellent and Important Observations, all.

We should have never entered the so-called “Nation Building” phase. There was no raw material with which to create a modern nation with elected government, and trying to do so was a fool’s errand.

THAT!

In the case of 911, we invaded Afghanistan and stayed for over 20 years and when we did get out, it was a total disaster.

I'm not sure why this exact same logic wouldn't apply to World War 2 as well...other than that we learned only after the war how truly horrible our enemies were. Shouldn't have supplied or supported the British, because it wasn't our fight. Shouldn't have embargoed the Japanese.

I personally believe the course we chose was the correct one. I just think that if you're going to argue isolationism, you need to be consistent.

PAKISTAN’s ISI sheltered Osama Bin Laden......their premiere intelligence agency..... IIRC his compound where he was supposedly killed was within a short distance from their training academy in Abbottabad.

[McGruff]

I agree. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and now Ukraine were a waste of American blood fort no good reason.

[rbmillerjr]

How in the Hades can Ukraine be included in your error ridden group of areas, when we are not in nor are we sending anybody to Ukraine?

[CodeToad]

“Benefit”?? The ONLY wars we need to get into are ones of defense.
