Because America would collapse without MasterCard, OnlyFans, and McDonalds, the error was made, once again, of imputing to the enemy our own vulnerabilities.

One might do well investing in a ferry service where the Golden Gate Bridge currently exists.

America has a history of winning

September 2, 1945 was 78 years ago.

So no assertion about wars being won in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Yemen and more?

Add Korea and Vietnam to your list.

We won a war once, 78 years ago.

Stop kidding yourself...there hasn't been a successful military outcome for the US since WW2.

--- "Because America would collapse without MasterCard, OnlyFans, and McDonalds, the error was made, once again, of imputing to the enemy our own vulnerabilities."

I come back to Ross Perot's wholly accurate prediction of that "giant sucking sound" as American blue collar jobs and manufacturing were exported year after year, since the Clintons and forward.

The phrase has its own Wiki entry now.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_sucking_sound

Perot was correct. The short-sighted American elite, RINOs and Democrats alike, fattened their wallets these last decades as the middle and blue collar class has felt the effects of that "giant sucking sound."

Perot was ridiculed in the press. The press is now experiencing that "giant sucking sound" as lib writers are also on the chopping block....

I do. Back then and courtesy of Lyndon Johnson, I wore olive drab. Now I wear righteous indignation. It is a costume of which to be proud. Best wishes.

“Isn’t cutting off our own oil production helping to keep the price off oil high and helping to fund Russia who gets a lot of their revenue from oil?”

So true. If Pedo Joe had done that before the invasion, The Russians wouldn’t have had the wherewithal to fund the war; hence no war.

Richard Kemp is a silly neocon propagandist.

His headlines for the last 18 months have been a string of nonsense propaganda of the type we see regularly - none of which have a shelf-life of more than a couple days before they prove ridiculous and false.

The fact HE is admitting there’s a problem must mean Ukraine is on the verge of collapse.

Worry not war hawks—You will get your WW III soon enough. The set up is coming that will see Biden become a war President. War—grim and Terrible-— will be here by late August. Long before elections. They may well be cancelled for 2024—or totally rigged—Biden wins again! Only death can stop his cabal from the war to end all wars. Our only hope—China doesn’t get into it—we will give them Taiwan to keep them from the war. Battles will be fought in Africa, South America, Cuba, Vietnam, Guam, Poland, Finland, England and Germany. Maybe even Mexico as Cartels side with Putin/Xi.

We do not own Taiwan and we have no defense responsibilities for it.

“At some point, in my opinion, there comes a time to think about the lives of the foreign troops you are using as canon fodder on a chessboard. Particularly when “victory” seems a far, far ways away.

is there any precedent for this novel way of thinking you propose?

--- "it got the cox report off of the tv screen...."

1) I had to look that up, because....

2) I thought it was mention of Richard / Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton. :)

And Rand guy says: " In the final analysis, the dire tone of the Cox Report says far more about the United States than it does about China. Resolving this fundamental ambivalence about the growth of Chinese power may not prove possible, but the effects of an ominously worded document could make the search for a tolerable center of gravity in the Sino-American relationship ever more difficult."

What seems rather clear is that -- Clinton and forward -- Perot's "giant sucking sound" was a correct prediction of far more than just blue collar jobs. The Dems and RINOs have been playing a very destructive-to-America game for decades now.

So, even the British admitting what neocon nimrods here won't.

The only purpose of keeping this proxy war going is to save the Biden regime from admitting defeat before the 2024 election.
