    You know what the problem is with Americans? War is a word without meaning, because war never comes home to them. The bombings and missiles always fall on other countries, never on American soil. This is why Americans are warhawks and don’t care who they go to war with, because it’s never been fully real. Well it will be once the missiles start landing on U.S cities. And maybe then Americans will learn a lesson and stop being the world police and worry about their own damn country’s failings.

    I grew up in a country at war, filled with weapons provided by America. It’s time war comes to their shores

      Well, war comes back to their shores in the form of disabled veterans they then proceed to not give a fuck about.

      Best example is draft dodger Donnie now sending other peoples children to die for his vanity.

    What? You mean it was… Projection? Unbelievable. Republicans never do that.

    It’s like watching a cheater jump to conclusions about others cheating. It’s easy for them to imagine it’s happening, because it’s what they’d be doing in that situation.

    I think the key word here is “unknowingly”… I don’t think Trump will get us into WWIII “unknowingly”…

    “intentionally” seems like a more fitting word for what Trump is up to.

      Look at the BEAUTIFUL Lockheed Martin and Plantir Stocks! Under Sleepy Joe, these patriotic job-creators were barely scraping by on a measly $29 trillion in defense handouts. But under MY leadership? taps podium We’ve achieved real American capitalism: where every missile strike means a 10% dividend bump and orphanages explode with shareholder value!

    This idiotic ‘administration’ is a porn parody of itself.

    When I was a kid, the worst playground insult was calling someone a ‘J@p,’ because only a yellow bastard would pull a sneak attack like Pearl Harbor.

    Tojo must be smiling in Hell.

      Like perfection, revenge is not achieved in a day, and the Japanese know patience well. All the world had to do was wait for the United States to start eating itself alive, and here we are. He’s probably toasting some sake to our plight as we speak.

        imho, it was Nixon who started America on this course. Nixon knew that the Vietnam War was unwinnable; he even ran in 1968 as a ‘peace candidate.’ He also knew that massive bombing would mean that the US steel mills would be working 24/7 and that would be great for the Unions and owners. All he had to do was pay for it with paper money, because he didn’t want to raise taxes.

    The government should use such talented individuals to avoid taking risks even if it means that it will need to put these in cages and conduct various inhumane experiments
