Foreign policy is working great? Staging coup d'etats, wars for oil, wars without declaration, wars with no end, private mercenary armies, permanent bases in hundreds of countries, drone strikes, secret torture prisons, paying for other countries' armies & wasting trillions in foreign aid. Our foreign policy needs drastic change.

Moving backwards is not the moving forward

And trump and the GOP have not changed one thing when it comes to the wars, or shying away from starting another which at this point will probably be worse than the rest combined. Hope you, or your children or grandchildren are ready to be drafted.........

That and that his opponent could not get the voters out to support her. Maybe you can explain how this is going to actually work out well for us, I do not see it. On that I agree, Interesting Times Indeed, must have been what it was like watching Rome fall, we just rose and fell quicker.

LOL, they are already having a hard time finding new recruits and those already in are leaving when their time is up, one can only do so many combat tours before running out of luck. Adding more troops to Afghanistan and Iraq, plus troops in many other countries as we speak. Korea will make them all look like a walk in the park, Hundreds of Thousands, if not Millions, would die in a conflict there and maybe even here, going to need more cannon fodder and there ya are, the draft.

Good. The American people need to tell the government its military actions are bad for the nation.

Good, and you should be the ones that get the blame and pay the price, unfortunately you guys are going to take the Nation and the rest of us with you. So, No We The People will Not get out of your way.

the way I got out of fights was to call the bully on the spot in the classroom as opposed to meeting him 'on the hill' after school. It is called bluffing. Do something the bully does not expect and he backs off.


Unpredictability is desirable when dealing with entities like NATO. The TDS infected dems actually make Trump's bluffs more believable. Without lifting a finger, Trump shamed the NATO members into paying their fair share and thus strengthening NATO and a strong NATO is not a desirable situation to enemies like Putin, etc.


Liberals are like some one who cannot restrain their emotions and have no clue as to what discretion even means.


Trump would clean your bank account out if you ever played poker with him.


No wonder liberal dems make such poor negotiators. they give away the farm and make promises they can't keep. They telegraph they hold no winning hand.
