I understand we are the super power. Other nations have not the capabilities we have.

But what if through (globalist?) manipulation we are forced into a war that Americans don’t want? Would President Trump lose quite a bit of support? Even lose the election?

Can you imagine the fast decline of our “super power” status if a weak, liberal Democrat was elected in 2020 and 2024? They are determined to not only weaken individual U.S. citizens by taking away the 2nd amendment but also weakening the U.S. military as Obama did for eight years.

It is dangerous ground, war is. No one, no one wants to see more U.S. sons and daughters involved in war to help out Saudi Arabia. Let Saudi Arabia or even Israel if they would, or someone else counter this attack. We can send them great intelligence. But don’t have President Trump involved in a war that might cost him the election. As someone else said, that’s the Democrats only hope to win.

There is too much at stake for us, for our country. China would love for President Trump to lose. The European Union would love for President Trump to lose. Iran would love for him to lose. The Democrats would love it and then go about destroying what remains of our nation’s strengths.

Cedar, No US price is worth a US soldiers life is a talking point too many never been there never done that use. Far far too often. Beginning with the Vietnam War.
I will yell you this, from my experience, with 26 years in the military this is complete and total BS.
What our men demand is complete and total support of their mission. What we demand is NO Political Correctness in the Pursuit of Complete and Total Victory.
What WE demand is if you send us to WAR you allow us to WIN the Fing War and not micromanage us as we conduct the war!
You send us to Kill the enemy. Allow us to Kill the enemy and not persecute us for not killing them in a Politically Correct manner. I/we are so Fing tired of civilians telling us how to conduct and win a war from their Fing couches and cushy offices.
If you turn us loose wars would end quickly and efficiently. And, with far far less casualties and with far fewer maimed US soldiers. Too many of our dead and maimed are a direct result of people and politicians who think they know better how to conduct war than the warriors.

If that happens, Democrats will finish the job more extensively while turning the U.S.A. into more of a war machine. Democrats tend to allow problems to metastasize a little more elsewhere (while making plans) before leading the U.S.A. to more thoroughly destroy enemy nations. Democrats also tend to favor thorough revisions of foreign cultures. Democrats only complain about collateral damage, when they are not in charge of our military forces. If they are in charge, they don't care about collateral damage.

Really, Republicans tend to favor warnings and earlier, smaller military actions for the purpose of avoiding larger wars.
