Nice dodge. I have been consistent in saying that global policy cannot be either isolation or colonialism, but case by case.
As far as Bush's two wars, a drone strike without announcement could have taken out Bin Laden instead of an invasion of Afghanistan. Iraq Dick Cheney lied his way into. Bush Sr's first Iraq war I agreed with although I wish he had finished the job back then, because we were invited and our allies had our backs in the first Gulf War. The problem with pulling out after you commit is that you risk creating a power vacuum and resentment on top of that by the people you claimed to have wanted to help.
45 is inept and dangerous. Putin is playing him and so are the Saudis and North Korea.
No service member wants to be in the line of fire. That makes it paramount for the leadership in control of our military to be competent and understand the weight of risk, of going in, staying in and leaving. I will laugh in your face if you think the current occupant of the White House understands his responsibility, especially after ignoring his own intel on Russia and North Korea.
45 is simply pulling another distraction because the walls are closing in on him and his family.
Zark off.
Those 2000 troops get to come home - and you don't give a shit...
That' s because you were never one of them.
You were too busy writing bad pooetry in your momma' s basement.
Yeah - pooetry....
Shit poetry.
