Some of its true we do end up arming potential enemies, but the extremist were not created by the US or any other country for that matter these groups will try and destroy anyone who does not subscribe to their views. period.
The US could pull every troop in the world back home, never mettle in the affairs of others and we will still be attacked. If anyone believes otherwise they are an idiot.
Let's try it. This constant meddling and endless war has run its course. Time to try something different.
We've done that sort of thing time and time again. We pull our troops back make cuts to the military and when the next war starts we send to many untested troops into battle with woefully inadequate equipment. Men needlessly die from that sort of shit.
Men are needlessly dying now. They're dying for reasons most Americans don't even understand. For example, Syria is and never has been a threat to the US. Yet our Government demanded 'Regime Change' and eventually invaded. These wars aren't 'Defensive' wars. They're wars for world domination. It's 'Empire-Building.' And all Empires collapse. It's why our Founding Fathers warned against it.
We're $20 Trillion in Debt, and spread too thin. Our Government is spending massive Taxpayer money on maintaining some 700 bases worldwide. 700! That compares to Russia's 3 bases. We have a military presence in 130 nations. This aggressive foreign interventionism has gone too far. It can't be be sustained. Something's gotta give. We need to begin focusing on Americans again. End the endless war.
I do not remember when "OUR GOVERNMENT" "demanded regime change"--in
Syria--------got a link? I do recall that Syrians in the USA were horrified at the
violently oppressive government of Hafez Assad who---if I remember correctly
declared himself KING FOREVER (1971 ) thereafter Syrians were reluctant
to talk politics since they still had relatives "back home" Hafez was a
the arab version of Nazism (national socialism ---whatevah da **** that
means----mostly government owns anything it wants to own). There has been
civil strife in Syria since it inception----(the modern state circa 1950)---the usual
sectarian stuff. ----and lots of COUPS until 1971 when assad UBER COUPED
everyone else. USA INTERVENTION?
