1. Supports military complex and the business side of it 100%.
2. Wants to push social justice agendas all over the world and import as many new voters as possible. Guaranteeing constant involvement in places we should never be.
What are you talking about? The U.S. has been at war for 90% of its existence.
The American Empire got kicked into high gear with the false-flag/media-created Spanish-American War. Ever hear of "Remember the Maine?" It was "Never Forget--9/11" before it was cool.
Yes war is the default setting for america since its inception.
"War is a Racket" should be required reading for all students
For the opposite reason we were pro-peace on December 6, 1941.
What are you suggesting?
That America is getting involved around the world for peace (we don't care about peace, if we did we wouldn't be supporting terrorist states, or committing acts of terror ourselves).

FDR knew the Japanese were going to attack (due to U.S. provocations and the oil embargo) and allowed it to happen. He knew it was the only way to finally end the Depression.
Interesting. I work for a defense contractor and don't know anyone who is pro-war. This holds true for my non-work acquaintances as well. You must hang around some seriously disturbed people if you think most Americans are pro-war.
Play a child's game with me - just for a moment.....
Before you do, note that I know thousands employed with one of the biggest defense contractors in the USA - and who have made a living (and MUCH more), sometimes buying yachts and beach houses just with a one year bonus....
OK, here is the game.....
Each of you and your friends and contacts....walks behind a curtain.....there are two buttons..
Button #1 - they lose their job 100% of their connections (ex-mil, etc.) getting such jobs and contracts. The USA becomes a defensive nations (20% of our security budget would do that easily).
Button #2 - This is the "status quo" button......
I would love to be wrong, but my guess is that 90% plus would press Button #2...and it's due to the millions of regular jobs and tens of thousands of beach houses and yachts.
When I was in Bethany Beach a vast number of the beach front and beach block houses were owned by....well, you know. Regular guys I know that work similar jobs (sales, engineering) almost NEVER have that kind of money.

Except for the part where we were reluctantly drug into TWO world wars. Absolutely.
You can thank Hitler and Nazi Germany's swift rise to power for why we step in before things get too far out of hand. If we didn't then Europe would likely belong to Russia by now and we would be a nuclear wasteland.
Look at how much territory ISIS occupied under a more pacifist policy, or the gasing of civilians in Syria, or Russian annexation of Crimea, or China in the south Cina sea, or N.Korea. pacifism doesn't benefit us in the long run as you can garuntee all of those examples, and many more, would all be much worse if we weren't sitting here with nukes pointed at them.
If we weren't sitting here with our military, and showing the world that we aren't afraid to use it, while telling everyone to play nice do you honestly think the world would be as overall peaceful as it has been for nearly 100 years?
Easily the longest period of peace in the history of the planet and all it cost was two nukes. Maybe it is time we drop a couple more to get people to wake back up and get back in line.

The bolded is about the dumbest thing I have read on here in a very long time. You think it would be a good idea to wreak havoc on the environment and kill millions just to get people back in line?
It wouldn't get anybody in line. It would end life as we know it.

ISIS was a US creation, and Crimea was always part of Russia. Once again we are not a force of good, no state is, we seek domination, not stability.
That is why we seek help from SA to distabalize the middle east, because without opposing powers, we would be able to dominate and control their markets.
It is not bad actors we control, it is people who oppose our power. We had no place joining ww1, and had we not, there would be no ww2. But instead you believe Russia and China to be a moral evil vs the US' moral good.
China nor Russia are not the forces causing destruction ,in fact in many places, they are stopping our destruction. We never has a pacifist policy, ISIS never came from pacifism, they came from deliberate support.
