What hair splitting? I'm being perfectly clear. You can't name a single military action since the Civil War that was existential to America or that jeopardized our freedoms.
What purpose do we have being in NE Syria right now?
WTF? For you to even say beyond this world shows you are an extreme interventionist.
We are only forced to be heavily dependent on foreign sources due to poor political measures here at home. If you want to stage troops anywhere to get oil production up, mobilize troops to DC...
How about just putting the troops in the DAMN BORDER???
Again, genius... poor domestic policy. We used to have all of those industries here in America and had a self-sufficient economy. Mobilize troops to DC, not Asia.
What has Iran or North Korea ever done to us in history that wasn't the result of a provocation by the US?
As we are seeing in this Ukraine conflict, it should be abundantly clear that our bloated MIC and defense spending is going towards low volume, highly priced weapons systems that have marginal effectiveness and are not able to be reproduced very quickly or easily due to long supply chains and not enough manufacturing capacity.
Your entire post here is a dumpster fire of neo-conservative talking points. The gold and intellectual efforts we have used in building our military would have been far better used after WWII going towards maintaining our economic base in the energy and industrial sectors instead of the MIC. Most of these foreign escapades that you showed your support for above could have easily been rectified had we not had pizz poor (corrupt) leadership in this country. Facebook and Netflix isn't a real economy. Windmills and solar panels isn't a real energy policy. Manufacturing, mining, agriculture and energy should have been the foundation of our economy and diplomacy, mutually beneficial trade and learning to play well with others should have been our foreign policy.
