It is not our job to police the world. Let's stay in our lane, have a real military, not a woke version of one, and let's work on solving our own very real problems ($33 trillion in debt, millions of illegal immigrants, an honest government, and no two-tier justice system).
And, oh, by the way, stop bullying and pushing the rest of the world to align against us.
Yes. As some of our great leaders believed and often said:
Peace through strength.
Remember?
We ain't nowhere close. Are we?
Trump’s theory is the correct one. Do nothing until you have to do something. Then do it fast and dirty so it never has to be done again.
