First thing Gorbachev did was move to the US and start his watermelon Green cult to push global warming propaganda and other nonsense.

...........well, I can’t quite understand what you are saying.

So, let’s get specific about right wars and wrong wars in the general context of the Preston “Archives” Article. Here’s my opinion.

Right War: WW II

Wrong war: Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I, Gulf War II

My general thinking is that wars should only be participated in (by the US) with troops on the ground when there is no other choice! When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the Nazi’s were swarming over Europe, we had no choice.

When 4 airliners attacked us, we had multiple choices.

In Korea, we had choices and chose the wrong one. One of the choices we had was the Harry Truman choice ending WWII.

“Had Putin not invaded Ukraine we wouldn’t be expanding NATO..............”

You obviously know nothing about NATO or the fact is expanded since 1990.

No - Ukraine invaded itself.

Putin is a very devout man (who banned evangelism) and he is not an imperialist (despite making numerous statements indicating that he is). Xi is too - a strong anti-globalist (despite the fact they are setting up military bases everywhere in the world practically).
