i'd be quite happy with spending the next thirty years working on our own country. however, we get sucked into every war on the planet, and the world doesn't even pay us a tax. **** that. time to try another strategy. a strategy like if your region is three shades of ****ed up and you're the hegemon, then you handle that **** yourself.
Who asked the CIA to back rebels against the elected government in Ukraine?
The US gets sucked in my ass....
With armies across the globe, a spy network that couldn't see either the fall of the Berlin Wall nor 911 you have your fingers in every pie. And when you **** up, as Obama has done, you risk the lives of Americans as well as allies.
The US was not alone in either Afghanistan nor Iraq, and yet you bleat this garbage about standing alone. It is an insult to the men and women of other countries, Canadians, British, Pole etc. to moan this crap. Canada took the highest rate of casualties in Kandahar, we are on the ground in Iraq and pushing harder against Putin than you are, adding new sanctions weekly. And our troops remain there in non combatant rolls years after our agreed mission had ended.
You haven't 'handled' ****. It was French, Canadian and British jets flying missions with you over Libya and look what you have as a result? You can't even bring to justice the assassins of your servicemen. And now after allies helped you, there is a greater, more dangerous threat. Any nation would gladly follow that path....
Your president lies about pipelines and complains he doesn't want "Canadian oil" on his land, and you expect us to elope with you again? We have thousands of miles of American pipeline feeding you but u-uh, but "oh, could you spare some lives...we have another war..?"
How about you finish one, say Iraq, before flexing muscles where you have been specifically warned not to.
