To be honest, you're acting a bit butt hurt. You're absolutely correct in your assessment(s), but your tendency to repeat the obvious points reveals your continuing emotional attachment.

That is, you seem to be exhibiting the behavior of one of the rubes who has finally awakened and wants to warn others. Too late pal; I was posting 10 years ago that FR was nothing more than conservative porn.

See my comment above. It is what it is; either Trump/we do something, or we don't. The Union could have folded and let the south secede. The Allies could have allowed Germany to seize Poland. History turned out otherwise.

There's really not much more to discuss.

You are absolutely correct. I am “butt hurt”. I am watching the country I grew up in, the country I swore an Oath to protect, 4 years of my life deployed in uniform die a preventable and unnatural death. The country my grandchildren live in. More of us should be “butt hurt” IMHO.
