I believe that the U.S. should follow the Australian example by making voting mandatory. Failure to vote is fined. All Americans need to pay attention; right now, our democratic process is being overrun by political zealots.
You are using a false premise. We WERE the invaders. This was a civil war within Vietnam, and we were trying to create a puppet state. That was destined to fail. You can't patch failed policy with military overkill. That's not the "victory" you yearn for.
Unfortunately for you, this isn't an exercise in chest-pounding. The point is that no matter how much blood and treasury we poured into Vietnam, it wasn't ours to take. And even if we "won," they would have never accepted the U.S. as occupiers. Vietnam has a long history of fighting for...
Yes, Trump may actually win. Everyone should remember that Adolf Hitler was elected as chancellor of Germany in 1933 without a majority of German support. Nationalism, in the manner of Hitler and Trump, can spin out of control.
You quite obviously was not in Vietnam during the Tet offensive. The number of enemy casualties was extremely inflated, and they captured a lot of territory. It was a severe setback for U.S. efforts. After the offensive, the U.S. did intensify bombing and sent more troops. It became quite clear...
Trump was created by the "Mainstream Media," which is corporate in nature and in it for the profits. No, they are neither "liberal" nor "conservative." They are CORPORATE. Reagan eliminated the free press in this country.
Modern Democrats are centrists, even somewhat conservative by world standards. Modern Republicans are radically right wing extremists, such as yourself--with reptilian brains that base responses on fear and hatred.
We are witnessing the rise of fascism in America . . . how many of you understand this? Trump's road map to popularity among right wingers closely parallels that of Adolf Hitler's . . . his primary tools are fear of "outsiders" and incredibly inflammatory rhetoric, and the lives of right wingers...
In fact, you don't know anything at all about what's happening in the MIddle East. You only get information from conservative "news" entertainment media. The situation is far, far more complex than your simple solutions address.
So have fun trolling, but you stand in ignorance. The advantage...
Our biggest problem is that there are a lot of Americans that worry too much about how much other Americans might benefit from a better system. They want everyone to be as miserable as they are.
