Afghanistan (escalated), Libya, Syria, Somalia, Pakistan, Mali, Yemen - Obama (D)

Republicans have: Cambodia, Grenada, Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq I, Iraq II, and Afghanistan.

Looks like the Democrats have started more, buddy. And the wars started by Democrats have cost hundreds of thousands of American lives.

No one said dialogue with the enemy is bad...if it is the right dialogue from the right people.
Trump has attacked NATO, threw our closest Allies under the Bus, stabbed our Friends in the back, or has attempted to....all while embracing our biggest adversary, and talking about how
wonderful Putin is (A murderous ex-KGB Agent) all while there is an investigation going on about the Russians Meddling in our Election, and some people involved in the Trump campaign are being indicted and arrested for various crimes associated with all of this.....suspicious and reason for pause at the very least.

Republicans have been waiting to sell to the highest bidder. They found him.

Why are you people so fixated on the word “our?â€

I never signed an agreement with the government of a foreign country to ally with them. I never consented to having people I don't know as “friends." I don't consider Russia my “adversary,†as no one from their government has ever violated my property rights.

Why the focus on collectivism instead of individualism?

Do the words "United" States of America mean anything to you?

Now really.

WWI and WWII were well underway when the U.S. got involved. Neither Wilson nor FDR started either of those wars with an invasion. We joined a party well underway.

Korean War started when North Korea invaded South Korea. Truman joined the fray, but certainly didn't start the war.

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.
