NO KIDDING!

All you need to know about Trump's attitude towards war is that he hired John Bolton and has never once said called him a disparaging name in public.

Yes critical thinking is waning here! Especially by YOU!
Having a powerful military and using it for nation building are not synonymous.


A powerful military can be used to thwart would be tin pots from doing anything in the first place that requires a response or involvement.


If needed, a powerful military can strike quickly and get out. No need for prolonged police actions.




Like Reagan did with Libya...swift quick response over in minutes...end of problem...not the progressive globalist world police that the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama's favored.

Here's a critical thinking exercise for you:

Can you take a position of meaningful opposition to the "military-industrial complex" while rubber stamping hundreds of billions of dollars more in annual budget funding?





(hint for you:NO)

Oh, because of something Trump SPEWS, that means something?

Most of us have figured out long ago that he spews every side of every issue.

Better, Cheaper Health Care for ALL. Mexico Pays for Wall. The Budget will be Balanced.

In fact, that last one is a good example.

Trump believes in a balanced budget. He believes in making money. Yet, he has never been able to do either (terrible ROI on his own money or anyone else's).

Sorry....

Hint for you..YES!


Building the military and USING the military are two different things and TWO different budgets...Unless you're a Progressive then you illegally mix the two.




Just because I have a security system and guns, doesn't mean I'm at war with my neighbors.

If you tell them regularly that they are going to cease to exist due to their dog barking.....then I'd say you are violent.......

As the Orange one does to Iran, NK and everyone else.

No different than Dad saying he's going to pull the car over!




I suppose you like appeasing the tin pots until they get bold enoughh to do something...THEN we'll ship them a plane load of money and beg them to be nice to us?


Hey, Wait...threatening NK? I thought you guys said Trump LOVES the little rocket man? Which is it?

No...this is like Dad saying he is going to RUN YOU OVER with the Car.

My Dad never did anything like that.

Trump and Pompeo are Warmongers. If someone has someone who knows someone who supports Militias in Iraq (wait, isn't Iraq free?), then Pompeo (at Trumps orders) thinks that means War. Full Stop. Period (that's what Pompeo says).

The lack of parental guidance and discipline show in your posts.
