"The U.S. set up shop in Germany and France and Italy and all over the world. We set up shop in Iraq and in Afghanistan. We set up shop where we're needed. Ukraine is a relatively 'new' country after breaking away from the Soviet Union. Even when the U.S. broke away from England, there were growing pains and we needed assistance from various players around the world. Ukraine needs the U.S. and other EU countries, not only for economic reasons, but for defense. Putin took Crimea and Georgia and was looking for more. So, no matter how corrupt the Uke government is or was, should Russia be given carte-blank with trying to take over Ukraine. If it's ok for Russia to take Ukraine, would the problems in Europe be solved? Or, would more problems be created. If corruption means that Ukraine should not be defended, then, we might as well forget about defending the U.S., because, there is more corruption in this country than anywhere else on the planet."

Let me repurpose your rant for the audience to expose your rabid evil.

The Germans set up shop in Poland and France and Italy and all over the world. We set up shop in Tunisia and in Lybia. We set up shop where we're needed. Vichy France is a relatively 'new' country after breaking away from the French who are now joined to the Fatherland. Even when the Germany consolidated in the 18th century, there were growing pains and we needed assistance from various players around the world. Vichy France needs Germany. and other Axis countries, not only for economic reasons, but for defense. England took part of France and Poland and was looking for more. So, no matter how corrupt the government is or was, should England be given carte-blank with trying to take over Vichy France. If it's ok for England to take over the world, would the problems in Europe be solved? Or, would more problems be created. If corruption means that Vichy government should not be defended, then, we might as well forget about defending the Fatherland because, there is more corruption in this country than anywhere else on the planet.

If by 'repurpose' you meant twisting everything around to completely change everything, then, you succeeded very well. That's a democrat tactic, where the meaning of "is" is changed drastically.

The U.S. is nowhere close to being an empire, and empire building is not what the U.S. has done, even while we may be involved in one way or another with many countries.

Germany and England and Italy were all involved in empire building in the past, and their empire building meant that ,whatever they conquered would 'belong' to the conquering country. Russia is guilty of having done that in the past, and are still doing so. China is guilty of having done that in the past, and is still doing it. The U.S. was guilty of doing that, but those days are over and the only lands that was 'captured' that way, were the lands that now constitute some of the states of the union. So, what conquests have we had in the last 80 years that became part of the American empire? Do we own Germany or England or France or Italy or Mexico or Israel or any part of Africa or any part of Asia or any part of S.America?

What you did do is to spectacularly sound like a typical democrats, with spinning and twisting the words of others. In fact, not even democrats have sounded as radical as you have been. Pretending to be republican is not the same as being a republican or conservative. We do have RINOs in our midst, but you sound more like a typical and radical democrat with your methods of arguing your points.
