That is correct. Reagan did it of course.
Now some don't even want us to send sandwiches to a sovereign country because we might upset the Russians.
That's appeasement in my book.
Hey I guess one option is to not send anything to anybody since we're so damn broke from spending money (we shouldn't be spending) in this country. But in my view that makes the world and ultimately our country a more dangerous place.
Peace through strength.
Well then Buttercup, as I told another chest thumping hyperpatriot banging the war drums last week, you have a duty as an American to contact Fedgov and turn me and all those like me in as the foreign agents you believe us to be. At the very least, ping JR and have us zotted as liberal scum.
Of course you could haZ a problem with said Fedgov when that is shown false.
Are you comparing Reagan and the military under Reagan to the collection of directionless lying crapweasles in office today? Really? You think that Bhenghazi Barry and his merry band of Dem/GOP frauds are going to have the guts to mirror Reagan and back up his policies?
Because when your internet bluster is over and shooting starts, that’s what happens in war. When you begin the game of backing one hostile country with food, med supplies ect, that is in and of itself an act of war. Whether justified or not, you are providing aid to the enemy of the other country and you are now SQUARELY on one side of the conflict. And walking away when the shooting starts is NOT an option. Actions incur consequences.
Now if you are Ronald Reagan, that is a beautiful thing because your army, your enemy and the greater world at large know you are resolute in determination and are going to back your play to the hilt. You will finish what you involved yourself in.
When you are Bhenghazi Barry, you have not drawn red lines in the sand and blew the hell out of Lybia when they crossed them as did Reagan. Instead, you have drawn MULTIPLE red lines in the sand and backed away from each and every one time and again. Your army knows that their CIC will jail them for fighting the enemy or strip them of command, the enemy knows that if they wait 5 min your will will crumble and the world at large knows your idea of resolute determination ends at hiding your college records.
No, short of Israel who has been our lightning rod over in that craphole of a mid east, we should stop sending countries money and aid. It does not make the world more dangerous because most of them are using it to fund terror, buy weapons, start wars of their own and general stick it to their idiot benefactors who stand there wondering WTF just happened.
Now all the above is easily researched and provable/proven. As such, take your ‘appeasement’ talking point and shove it firmly yet lovingly, with special attention to social justice, homosexual rights for the military and perhaps a slice of lime for added ‘zing’.
