Not surprising, of course.

No Democratic voter gets to claim they’re anti-war, or that Biden will “bring stability” to the world. We’re back to encouraging middle east terrorism once again, and it won’t take long for another ISIS-type entity to rise.

Trump didn’t go out of his way to embolden Hamas.
“The pipeline goes both ways—Trump’s administration already bears evidence of weapons industry ties, featuring both Defense Secretary Mark Esper, a former Raytheon lobbyist, and Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, once a vice president at Lockheed”
For a two state solution to succeed you need to formally recognize that one of those states exists.

Trump did rebuild OUR military and the weapons industry made money. I know this sounds Trumpsplainin but it was necessary due to the ever growing military threat of China. That isn’t what we’re discussing. This isn’t for “defense”, it’s for “offense” and that’s on opposite ends of the spectrum.

How …I know that was of one of his favorite lines. What did he do to rebuild it?
He was forced to rebuild our military after Obama destroyed it.

There is no desire for a two state solution in the West Bank. Fatah and Hamas are not buds, the best one could hope for is a three state solution. I personally don’t care about that slither of land the world obsesses over, but I don’t see Gaza uniting with the West Bank.

Tell that to the Palestinians.
Every time someone on the right talks about the horrors of cutting the DOD budget I have made the same argument. If we can kick any other countries ass twenty times over, what difference does it make if we cut the budget and can only kick any countries ass eighteen times? So far I have never got back a answer to that question.

I think we should cut spending across the board all sacred cows including yes the military. I was on board with the outline and recommendations by the Simpson-Bowls bipartisan committee under Obama.
To cut the national debt they were going to cut spending and increase taxes. Both not just one. That boat sailed.
