Great, Iām a libertarian. The wars of the 20th century took away many of our liberties. The ability of the fed govt to take money out of our checks was invented for ww2ā¦ Iād close bases all over the worldā¦
Yeah way too isolationist for meā¦but Iām glad you agree that the wars started by republicans were colossal failures that never should have been started in the first place.
I was on these forums in 2005 when all the conservatives were parroting the line āyouāre with us or against us!ā Such garbage. Glad to see conservatives repudiate that recent history.
Lol that Afghanistan is at war with the west. Like itās an existential threat to anyone. Thereās no special brand of uber terrorism practiced there that western nations arenāt at risk of from actual non-failed states. Itās not about giving up to the terrorists, its about not being able to admit failure and that moving beyond the footprint of the handful of western troops that aiding in the overthrow of the Taliban was a mistake. Britain threw in the towel, it still exists. Same for Russia. There are actual real existential problems in the world that command attention and resources. Afghanistan is not that.
The cost was too high, and the govt was wrong on WMDās, but Saddam is gone and Iraq is a relative democracy. But there is a time to bring troops homeā¦
