Having troops in 150+ countries isn’t defense, it’s empire.
No declaration of war, no troops. Let other countries pay their way. The South Koreans -sure great folks and allies - but they make enough money they can pay for their defense, dammit.

It irritates me that President Trump only receives about 5% positive coverage on the network news. It irritates me even more that almost all of that is when he flexes his military muscle.

All you jerks on this thread seem to forget the Taliban and bin laden managed to attack us on 9/11. Until you brainiacs have a better solution without depending on light weight authors to support your opinions I will pass on your recommendations.
“Shade” seems to be the meme word of the week.
Anyone have an English translation?
How long until Lindsey Graham and John McCain start agitating for sending US troops to protect Rohinga Muslims in Myanmar?
