That strategy hasn't worked out that well for us.

Vietnam is a good example. We killed millions, but they only killed less than 60k of our people. Who got tired of dying first?

If we kill 300 of them and they kill 30 of us, they win.

Where is the UN's concern about all the lives lost in Mexico???????


The UN needs to be moved offshore, hopefully to where the most turmoil exists.


At one time the UN was useless, now they are destructive.


If trump didn't interfere in Syria, he would be accussed of supporting Putin's efforts to get a ME foothold. russian collusion!!!!!

Yep.

It was Obama who got us involved in Syria. And just like the mess he started in Libya, he had no plan for actually getting something accomplished.
