Maybe he will ask Trump to run an Operstion Warp Speed for dementia treatments.

The dementia has warped him past formulating a thought that deep.

He’s got to stick to reading the teleprompter, hollering when a reporter tries to ask a question, and moving his water glass around.

The USA beat down the Nazis. The USA destroyed Communism. The USA takes in more immigrants than any other country. US citizens contribute to more causes than any other people on Earth. Yet much of the rest of the world and even our own younger generations have been taught to hate us. So what exactly is the upside of continuing to be so charitable to the **** countries?

I guess I hate our foreign policy on more pragmatic terms. What could our country be if we didn't devote so much money and resources towards maintaining an empire and raging war? We blew a golden opportunity after WWII... or even after the fall of communism. We could have been 30 years further ahead in domestic nuclear energy production or other alternative energies and could have had far more wealth.

We could also have given up our freedom and been like the Chinese people had we not built the most powerful economy and military that has ever existed. God bless the USA.

Refresh my memory, but when has our freedom been jeopardized since 1989? Or hell, since the end of WWII for that matter?

It hasn’t BECAUSE of our powerful economy and military. Without those things in place the CCP would love to attempt to take away your freedoms.

If only that were true - the irony is Blinken talked about humility as he goes on talking about how we are going to lead in solving all the world's problems.

We can't even solve our own yet our new Biden Doctrine is to take on all the world's problems.

Worse yet, people characterize that as "adulting".

It's toddler level thinking.

Okay, post WWII there was a legitimate threat of communism. Let's face it, Stalin wasn't exactly subtle about subverting places he wanted. There was a real chance at "peace" with Khrushchev in the early 60s after the Cuban Missile Crisis, but when Brezhnev took over, it set relations back just a hair.

I will say radical Islam needed to be countered after the Cold War ended. Especially after 9-11. Having said that to say this, we should have kicked the hell out of them and called it good. No occupations, no "nation building" or anything of the sort. Just go over, kill those needing killing and come home.

There are threats we face and have faced as a nation that needed to be countered. These days, it's mostly internal threats like Democrats that we should be aware of.
