I want to check the temperature of the room here...
I'm seeing a LOT of conservatives on social media saying the war in the Middle East is not our problem.
As an anti-war conservative I completely agree however it's surprising to see this sentiment among so many mainstream conservatives?!
We're used to being in the minority on these issues.
While supportive of Israel and absolutely condemning the horrific attacks and hostage taking that we've witnessed it appears many Americans are sick and tired of the foreign interventions.
Only the Neocons on social media are demanding U.S involvement.
In fact I posted one yesterday:-
Nikki Haley: This is not just an attack on Israel — this was an attack on America
Have I got this right? What are your thoughts...
Every war is not exactly the same. Every agreement we have with other countries is not exactly the same. None of this is the same.
“ The conflict in Israel has shown us TRUE evil.”
So? There’s lots of evil in the world. The US is not in charge of the planet.
Thier is no such thing as White Chrisidom, or Jewish Crisdom our anything else. Thier is only Christians who are saved by Christ alone.
Then let them go to war themselves
“The 29 Palms” POST ?
Israel is completely capable of defending against militants in Gaza. When they remove the stain from their lands, we should congratulate them.
Would you support war if America was attacked? President Trump was willing to use American power and threats to protect our interests. Thier is a difference between warmongering, Isolationist Pasfism and Jacksonian American Nationalist Foriegn Policy. Trump is the 3rd.
We live in a global village now. We interact outside the small collection of circled wagons and ships in a flotilla. We talk daily with people who’re completely outside our county borders.
Missiles don’t respect national borders, and neither do natural disasters.
Geopolitics doesn’t either.
The neocon agenda and ultra capitalist agendas of orgs like the WEF need to be separated from genuine and benign attempts to cooperate on a planetary level.
The danger with isolationism is you save a few bucks and then find BRICS is totally on board with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea setting the tone for international trade.
A robust insurance policy has thousands of members who’re low risk, and a minority that are high risk.
A crap insurance policy has two people in it and they’re both average risk.
Voting out of globalism completely is like voting to go without insurance because you object to your premiums propping up other policyholders.
As insurance policies go, name one country other than the USA that’s launched nukes at civilian populations. Name one country other than the USA that’s invoked NATO article 5.
The insurance premium for the USA is phenomenally expensive but you’ve already claimed on it twice. If you don’t want to pay the premium anymore, don’t expect your next claim to pay out.
Biden Administration is infested with spies.
American Neocons' core value is support for Israel.
Twenty years, everyone knew that. Everyone agreed with that.
But after MAGA, that piece of history has gone down the Orwellian memory hole. The Neocons lost favor, so history is being rewritten to paint Neocons as anti-Israel.
The Neocon/Israeli connection was extensively documented in the two volume Neo-Conned books.
Yes we know you hate Israel rat telsnoke snook with your 2 accounts, you are fooling no one.
The neocon faction is shocked that the magic words don’t seem to be working any more.
Afghanistan and Iraq (twice) have taught us a very painful but hopefully long-lasting lesson.
Get out of all International Orginizations. Alliances should be made on a Country b6 Country basis.
Be sure to visit the physically and mentally broken US Veterans that are forgotten. It’s sad, even for Boomer Texans.
Seems pretty obvious to many that this was planned by Iran. I hope I am wrong, but I think this is going to lead to US involvement. I don’t have any pat or knee jerk answers at this time. Like all of us I am staying glued to events.
One example is Israeli rabbi Rav Touitou, who said that "Islam is the broom of Israel." By which he meant that God sent Islam into Europe to sweep away Christendom as punishment for centuries of European anti-semitism.
Sorry, this is my only account.
That is because we fight half ass Wars, and ones we should not be in.
After 3 years in SouthEast Asia, I have seen enough of these newscasters beating drums “we gotta go ...”.
Whether its Vietnam, Cambodia, Bosnia, doesn’t matter, what “security interests” exist where American military will be at harm?
We are not the cops.
At present, the Ukraine has been the illegal corrupy money pit of all those connected to the Biden family. That does mean we need to waste our resources and suck all of our funds.
Israel in the eyes of thousands of Sunday-pew-sitters, is another federal territory worthy of federal funds, military aid, and political support.
I disagree. They are more of a central powerhouse in the area, with or without American money or help.
