Over there, or back here? Foreign, vs. domestic wars

It is tragically ironic that, after more than 20 years in the Middle East, we have allowed our homeland to be invaded, degraded, and threatened … largely by many of the same people who we are fighting “over there.”

By contrast, legitimate wars to protect the homeland must be fought, no matter what, no matter the cost, no matter what others may think … because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

Trump has a year to get the people of Iran to topple the regime-not counting on it so he just might have to resort to bombing every bridge, factory, and power station-then pull out and surrender. This war is a failure if the mullahs stay. Let the gulf states deal with it. There's enough payback element to get them continually fighting amongst themselves. A never ending conflict appears to be in our interests. Just drill for more oil on our end.

"No more foreign wars"

Republicans are paying the price for Trump being pro-active. Think Pearl Harbor, Yom Kipper, Oct. 7, and 911. All caught the targeted countries off-guard. Trump gets no credit for doing the right thing if the people don’t accept it. WMD in Iraq was never proven for the world to accept.

What I’m saying is that in too many cases the targeted countries need to let their enemies take the first punch b4 responding. In the case of Oct. 7 Israel retaliated and then gets accused of genocide. Everything is drip, drip until the big event happens. It’s been repeated too often.

Why is it up to Trump to be "pro-active"? Why should the Republicans lose seats in the midterms just so we can go to war with Iran? And why isn't the Iran War already settled before the Midterms?

There are many questions.

We have a bad habit of bringing foreign conflicts home.

We import people that are fighting in their homelands here and we end up with them fighting each other here - and us as well.

Jews vs Muslims vs Hindus are prime examples.

The waste of trillions of dollars and the complete loss of political capital of four of the last five Republican administrations over these stupid, pointless, loser foreign wars is what will ultimateltly cause civil war and the end of our Republic here at home.

25 years after 911 NY elects a muslim mayor.

**And why isn’t the Iran War already settled before the Midterms?**
We’ve got the bombs and a POTUS who doesn’t mess around.

**”No more foreign wars”**
Trump wants a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget. That’s not going to keep us out of conflicts. Power is there to be used. Voters aren’t really on top of foreign policy debates. Think of all the wars we’ve been led into because we’re the only ones who can settle them. Wars are a part of the human condition and we can easily get handcuffed by both sides of the debate.
