All great Democrats join wars in Southeast Asia I guess Joe doesn’t want to be left out. Just let China annex it, they probably own it already.

It’s our business why?

Maybe because the people who stole our election don’t want the same thing to happen here???

~~~

Have the dems gone full neocon on foreign policy?
We know they are full bore deep state.

The coup definitely looks bad, by it’s harder to get very much farther on the other side of the globe than this. Economic pressure is one thing, but this is not a job for Team America World Police
