He just doesn’t want American Blood and treasure spilled for another nation’s foreign policy.

Protecting oil trade is now in our national interest.
He can sit back and bellicose all day about how wonderful it would be to sit at home and ignore the rest of the world, while there are thousands of military personnel in danger all over the world protecting his ability to turn on a light switch or start his car.
The fact of the matter is, we are dependent upon free global trade, and you know, we have been since the beginning of our nation. All you need to do is read the history of the Marine Corps to realize that.
IMHO: he doesn’t live in the real world.
