If it was Christmas 2017 I would be impressed.
It is time to make our own rules. I consider it commonsense killing, not senseless killing.
“It is time to make our own rules.”
We have to live in the world. We have needs from other nations and commitments to them that would not be appreciated and would cause possible armed conflicts with just more than the people we originally went after.
Countries like Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, some African nations, and others have made up their own rules and were determined rogue. It has caused, embargos and armed conflicts which have bled into suffering of the people that live there. We didn’t worry about our separation from government in 1776, and got very little help from anyone when we did. It actually was none of their business.
But the interconnection of countries today is far more complex so “deals” are made to keep the peace and gain support. Forty eight countries went in with us in Iraq and four more supported us but they don’t have armies.
The amount of support for Afghanistan was 59 nations with us at some point during the 2001 to present time frame. This also has led to a number of stealth sorties into other countries like Pakistan that no one is really talking about. Because of the commitment to all these different nations, it isn’t just a cut and dried decision when things are going to be changed. It changes everything in the immediate area and many countries. And not all are very happy with us as it is.
We are not self supportive. And we can’t afford to play games with everyone like we are with China.

Biden wants to stay there forever. You can tell he is owned.
