I've read your posts. If you were ever a Democrat, you likely switched parties back during the Civil Rights era.
I supported Obama first term read my posts

Vietnam I'll give you, but I have never made heads not tails of how that started.

The Balkans/Kosovo?

I would hardly call Grenada a war.

The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq were on Bush & Cheney. Neither nation was at war until U.S. forces invaded.

Why a Special Forces operation wasn't used to go after Osama bin Laden is somewhat of a mystery. Why did U.S. forces invade Afghanistan to get a small band of terrorists?

Democrats seem to get involved in wars that are underway.

Whereas Republicans start them by invading other nations for various reasons.
Truman sent "advisers" to Viet Nam in 1950.

Wilson and FDR didn't “start” them, but they both stupidly got the U.S. involved in them. Same with Truman with Korea and Clinton with the Balkans.

Grenada was a war of aggression by the U.S. against an island nation the size of a flea.

Obama is directly responsible for starting the war in Libya and its resulting slave trade. He is also responsible for starting the genocide in Yemen and helping ISIS in Syria.

Thanks, but don't get too chummy. I dislike the right just as much as the left.

It is only bad if a republican does it if you are a Democrat or if a Democrat does it and you are a Republican. I think it is usually a good thing.

You said it!! Dialogue with Putin is ok; if it is not one sided and it looks so wrong to have this "meeting," behind closed doors. What is Trump doing, assuring Putin, that the US is just a bunch of losers, but he is "fixing," that little problem?

His sloppy communication with our closest allies is so demeaning. Maybe, treason is on the menu for the Trumpster. Why is this guy still walking around trying to make the US look bad?
