A good example of the very quaint, but long ago completely discredited isolationist non solutions for an increasingly complicated world.Having nations all around the world doubt US commitment to long standing defense treaties will accomplish what exactly?Well then General, no doubt you can tell everyone at what point we became overextended. Iraq maybe?That way the United States can have even less influence over global events.........brilliant!
That was a simplistic answer, that does not take in the dangers of over extension.
Indeed, it is almost as though you are "ignorant" of the downside of such policies, or just don't care because of a lack of morals on your part.
Not that I really expect a serious answer from you, since everything you have done was as I predicted, ie dismiss anything and everything that runs counter to your prearrived at conclusion.
Smooth. I note how you did implicitly admitted that I had a point, but instead of admitting that that showed that Trump was both NOT ignorant or amoral, you tried to deflect onto another topic.
BUT you left enough wiggle room that you could, being as dishonest as you libs are, walk it back and argue that we aren't overextended.
SO, as I said, we are overextended and long term the Japanese and the South Koreans would be wise to doubt our long term commitment to their defense and to look to their own devices.
Trump said pretty much the same thing.
YOUR attack on him, specifically on this issue is shown to be dishonest propaganda.
As I said.
I now await with interest to see how you will lie about this, to avoid having to give Trump any credit for anything.
The point in discussion over extension is to draw back to where our ABILITY TO MEET our commitments is more matched to our actual commitments.
The goal is to avoid being drawn into entanglements that we lose, or expend great effort and cost for no benefit to our nation.
That is what it is to "accomplish".
That Trump can understand that, makes him LESS ignorant that the vast majority of the Political Class, and quite moral.
Not that you will really read or consider these words.
You will just skim it to look for something to misrepresent into something to attack so that you can avoid dealing honestly and seriously with my point.
Like the good little leftist propagandist you are.
If you have to lie to defend your position, it means you are wrong.
