Because they're brainwashed by their party to worship imperialism.

Trump did not pull our troops for their safety. Erdogan threaten to seize Trump Towers Istanbul. Trump gave Erdogan the green light to begin the slaughter of Kurds to save his hotels.

No matter what your political affiliation there is no defense for deserting an ally. Trump's throwing the Kurds to the slaughter is despicable. We have all seen Trump throw people who were loyal to him under the bus when the going got tough. Now he has done it to the Kurds.

There is little doubt that Trump saved his Trump Towers at the cost of two million Kurds. Trump has also initiated the rebirth of ISIS. This time look for ISIS to attack on American soil.

Partisan politics 101.

We don’t know about anything, we just know that our side is right and their side is wrong.

Exactly. With Bush they were against war.

Now they call it humanitarian intervention. Imperialism is imperialism regardless of political orientation. Pursuing policy that increases access to foriegn markets is the goal along with political hegemony.

But like republicans, democrats are clueless but think they are intellectually engaged when they say these things which is even more delusional.

Could you provide some facts, links and context for this vagueness?

Ultimately, we aren't the world's policemen and jailers and should stop acting like we are.
You realize it was Bush/Cheney who promoted those wars, right?

All the conservatives have left to try to save their integrity, at this point, are cheesy talking points.
