"Not our country, not our problem"
FreeRepublic ^ | Oct 9 | RandFan

Posted on 10/09/2023 3:07:19 AM PDT by RandFan

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...

Not many. Some, a specific group. Read the Bible, and you will know which one.

This one-world atheistic neopagan fascist administration is demonic.

What we are experiencing is one of two things. One, intended demonic evil orchestrated by this administration. Two, demonic evil allowed by God as punishment for One.

When I was in a NYC Starbucks in the mid 2000s, I saw a stack of New York Times for sale. The cover had a photo of a blinded American veteran, a young man returned from the Iraq War. The article said that veterans were going to grammar schools, teaching kids about the importance of the war.

Remember how everyone was screaming that we were going to spread Freedom! throughout the world. A New World Order (as Bush 1 put it), in which the Axis of Evil -- Evil itself! -- would cease to exist.

That's what they told this blinded veteran. So many young Americans enlisted enthusiastically, and when they returned blinded and maimed, they kept telling themselves it was worth it for the glorious future to come.

Wonder how they feel about their sacrifices now? Bitter and forgotten, I suppose.

Every President since Reagan has been a Globalist, and they have all pressured Israel to give up land, and go easy on the Palistians. Trump is America First, and h3 is the best friend Israel has ever had. You can support Israel 00 percent and believe we should not get involved.

The US cannot have a weak and corrupt President and also expect there won’t be problems in Europe and the ME.

Nothing like this would have taken place with Trump in office. Just say’n.

BTW-Did anyone actually believe the billions of $$ of sophisticated weapons/weapons systems that went begging in A’stan would NOT re appear?

William Forstchen, the author of the book One Second After, wrote what is basically a short story called Day of Wrath.

It deals with this type of scenario, Islamic Terrorists infiltrated the country, spread out to preplanned areas, specifically elementary schools in less populated areas.

On a set day and time, they attacked the schools, sealed them off and began executing children, while livestreaming it on the internet, when the authorities responded, other terrorists were in the surrounding areas to act like a blocking force to slow the response so more children could be killed.

The attacks were all over the country in a series of rolling attacks to keep everyone off balance.

Could a fictional story come true, something like that could easily happen.
