How was it bad diplomacy? Our congress and world allies wanted this prosecutor gone and our VP was able to get Ukraine to fire him through diplomatic and economic pressure. Imperialism at work, you can’t deny that.
Please don't even infer that C_Satan_Jones is White!It’s not a ‘lie.’I just saw an episode on Newsmax where a reporter was asking college students if they believe there is American imperialism. If the students answered yes (most did), they were asked to sign a petition to stop it. Quite a few signed the petition.
After signing, the students (apparently victims of heavy indoctrination) were asked to provide an example of where "American imperialism" is going on. now, or over the past 20 years. None were able to respond with a single location.
I wish I would have been that reporter. I would have asked the kids if they knew of the USA being a VICTIM of imperialism. I would have also asked them to provide a definition of "imperialism".

I would have loved to tell these brainwashed students that the US is the #1 VICTIM of imperialism in the world today, and has been for the last 20 years, by the way 21st century imperialism is conducted (migrant remittances).

And yet you want your lily white ass to benefit from this American imperialism. Democrats always have been the racists and you still are
I literally just showed you an example of that with Ukraine. Want another, how about the Libyan Civil War and over throw of Gaddafi. Make a case that that wasn’t imperialism.
Hahahahaha. If you asked me to explain why I think Trump was a horrible president and I responded by saying that there are fish in the sea, I guess I could also say I gave you an answer.
Were you not calling the person dumb with this statement??
I was responding to this statement:

This is true… you are often in over your head when we debate… just be honest and direct in the future and things will go much better

Old farts have been saying that since the 60s… it’s the nature of children and universities.

It's left communism at work, as they desire them to vote for their Demonicrats. https://cultureshield.com/PDF/45_Goals.pdf
When it comes to the "progressive" left, it's not about what it is, but what it aint is their reality. They decorate their feelings inside safe spaces and declare they've been educated.
Imagine paying tens of thousands of dollars to have someone suck out your brain. That's today's left miseducation program.
Exactly so. I recall reading a book back around 1980 called something like "empire or republic" about the views of T. Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan. What would the founders think about our military being the guarantors of world wide free trade? Barbary Coast. War of 1812. Roosevelt's navy guarded the hemisphere and warned others to not interfere with our trade. Trump thought we had no place in Syria. Maybe we didn't. But then why not?Old farts have been saying that since the 60s… it’s the nature of children and universities.

That's not what you said in Post # 190. It does not contain the keyword "CITIZENSHIP".
"Hillbillies "was that person's word. I simply repeated HIS word. (Donald H - Post # 197) So go scold him, if you dislike the word so much.
If you reference something of mine why don't you just post it in your reply. When you say #190 I have no clue what that is unless I go look it up which makes me think you omit it on purpose as a form of aggravation. That gets tiresome.
Its not the word Hillbillies I was harping you about. It was your entire statement that was calling the person dumb instead of addressing the topic with substance. The only think of substance that you wrote was that Taking money is what imperialism is and that just not true per the definitions that you posted!!!
Or maybe you've declined in the past year.
You can make the case that Afghanistan was self-defense, you can not with Iraq. We went to Iraq to install a gov't we wanted. We stayed in Afghanistan to prop up a gov't we wanted and, as of NOW, we are still there.
It's an interesting topic because of the students' responses to the questions. Who is asking the question is entirely irrelevant. Would be the same and just as interesting if MSNBC were asking the questions.
Both Afghanistan and Iraq were key locations for Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda in Iraq (forerunner of ISIS), and ISIS, and they still are, if we were not there. We couldn't care less what their government was/is, as long as it is not Muslim jihadist terrorists.
FALSE!! Al Qaeda hated Saddam since he was too secular and kept them out of Iraq. Under Saddam there would never have been an ISIS. He fought a war with Iran that weakened them. They did not rise again until Saddam was gone.
