In many cases the relationship -- at least at the leadership level -- is a very amicable one. This is one of the dirty little secrets we're learning about the whole Hillary Clinton and Clinton Foundation debacle. It's no coincidence that the U.S. has pissed away thousands of American lives and more than a trillion dollars in military campaigns in the Middle East for the benefit of governments and powerful people who are contributors to the Clinton Foundation and/or real estate partners with the Bush family.
“We ... have no qualms about toppling them through subversion or military force”
This is a lie
“It’s no coincidence that the U.S. has pissed away thousands of American lives and more than a trillion dollars in military campaigns in the Middle East for the benefit of governments and powerful people who are contributors to the Clinton Foundation and/or real estate partners with the Bush family. “
That is not the US. That is a couple of self appointed royal families who have no adherence to the Constitution.
Our Military, each member, takes an oath to defend the Constitution. They certainly do have qualms about running around being told what to do by people who are elected by uneducated people who also have no acquaintanceship with the Constitution. They trust the US voters to take care of its military by electing people with respect for their own oath.
Our military is what? the largest for questionable reasons?
That is a scandalous implication. You liberals who want a small military as if it is a sign of virtue do not care any more than Carter did, that we were not respected around the world, to detrimental effects.
Reagan built up the military primarily to get the USSR off our backs.
Get over it.
I know a guy who was a champion boxer at the military academy he attended. He is trained in hand to hand combat. is a marksman with a gun collection.
I’ve known him for 30 years.
No one bothers him. And he does not physically impose his will on anyone
I’m going to go watch Saturday cartoons.
This forum is nuts this morning.
D Day of all Days.
No. I’m going to put on ‘Band of Brothers’
imperialism
noun
1. the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies.
Accepting a true definition of imperialism, there is no reasonable debate. If we truly “toppled them by force” in order to “impose our will,” why don’t these damn countries do what we want? Why am I still 7500 miles from my home?
Redefinition is the raison d’etre of Leftism. Calling good evil and evil good is the heart of the left.
