It is? Is it really? When did that change? I am uncertain how running an Occupy scam on Ukraine serves the national interest, how providing gins to drug dealers in Mexico , how providing weapons to AQ, how denying aid to countries over gay issues or a host of other things is in our national interest.
So help me out here. Or is this a situational ethics thing? Because I would hate to think that a staunch rock ribbed conservative Freeper would conveniently discount all those other national security issues and fixate on this one.
Because there are no national security interests these days. Just social engineering and personal enrichment situations as the above provides rock solid evidence for at the EXPENSE of our national security.
American national security interests are the same today as they were for many years.
The themes are broad and general, Containment of our enemies, aggressive attack when we are attacked...ie Pearl Harbor and 9-11.
The guns to Mexico, weapons to AQ, gay issues are petty little F-Ups by Obama. They are not broad ForPol goals of this nation.
Elections have consequences. We have real enemies: Iran,China, Russia, Jihadists....to me it seems it is the isolationist who can’t get over and fixate on the relatively small things and are willing to let the bigger things that matter be written off.
Really? Some guns sold to Mexico is to be fixated on but China attempting to build a blue water navy and coerce it’s neighbors out of their territories, Russia annexing parts of nations, and Iran building a nuclear capability...is none of our business?
