3. Nation-building=Both. Playing world cop and telling others how they must live often at the end of our military barrel is something both parties do. Syria and Libya for example. Those are 100% on Obama.
So Syria and Libya are your examples of "pointless wars" and "nation building?"

Would anyone honestly say we have ever "gone to war" in Syria or Libya?

How many Americans have been killed in those "wars" compared to how many have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Yep, you're right, Republicans and Democrats (in the last couple decades) are EXACTLY the same.
