Let me see if I have this right.

Sorry Marty..

But I have to laugh at Republicans who authorized US invasions of Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq but are now outraged over the U.S. aid to Ukraine with NO US TROOPS

It wasn't just Republicans that authorized those invasions.

 

[rightwinger]

When did we invade Kuwait?

In the 1990 gulf war the goal was to expel Iraq from Kuwait. It worked.

In Iraq and Afghanistan 2002/2023 it was to establish stable friendly governments. It didn't work.

In Ukraine, Ukraine wants Donbas and Crimea back, and Russia want's them for themselves. Are we 100% in on Ukraine's goal?

We invaded Kuwait to give them back their country after Iraq had invaded them. Do you know how much fighting Kuwait actually did while their leaders and the wealthy took refuge in Europe and Arab countries. After the US won their country for them, they came back.

Ukraine is doing their own fighting for freedom against an unprovoked invader. For the first time in 70 years, the US is staying out of it and just sending aid.

Republicans unilaterally supported the first case while opposing the second.

Why?
Because a Republican authorized the invasion of Kuwait while a Democrat authorized aid to Ukraine.

 

[rightwinger]

It wasn't just Republicans that authorized those invasions.

All were at the request of a Republican President and supported almost unanimously by Republicans

We didn't invade Kuwait, we actually went around it through Iraq and cut off the supply route to those Iraqi forces entrenched in Kuwait.

Kuwait had a shit army back then, of course we had to fight for them.

Just admit you meant to say Iraq twice, stop being a turd.

Again, what is the end result we want in Ukraine? You can't seem to answer that.

So we should have just let Iraq take over Kuwait and then threaten Saudi Arabia and the other gulf States?

Because those were his targets as well.

And by democrats. They got on board too, Hillary being a classic example.

I argued with an anti-vaxxer once and my IQ went down just reading some of the things he/she/it said. Vaccines are perhaps the greatest advancement in the field of medicine we've seen and have saved untold numbers of lives. That being said, however, we do have to consider the long-term effects of loading up babies with a dozen or more shots within the first few months of life and make sure we're doing it as safely as possible. And, as always, people need to do their own research, not just blindly accept the "experts'" word for it.

I don't know how else to take what you wrote other than a condemnation of giving RFK vast authority to reform our healthcare system.

Fools close their eyes and pretend we can just keep piling on debt forever with no negative consequences. Politicians hope they can retire before being blamed for the coming crash. Harris has no plan to soften the inevitable crash and doesn't even want to address it (I don't think she has the mental capacity to even realize it's coming).

Most progressives believe that if we just keep on adding to the debt, the economy will always grow and that you never have to pay back the principal, only the interest. It's a slot machine that pays off all the time and never breaks, even though the interest on the debt is now the biggest expense we have. And, somehow, I don't know how, they ignore the fact that massive debt brings on hyperinflation. But, even then we don't have to worry because we can just raise interest rates as high as we want to bring the hyperinflation back down. And the bubble never bursts and the slot machine keeps on paying off.

I’m saying you are lying

No you aren't. You're saying trump is lying since my post is essentially a recitation of things he has promised to do.

I would oppose attempts to eliminate vaccines, and I don't believe he would be able to do much about that because doctors are not going to fall into line opposing vaccines. There are questions about them that deserve to be investigated, as in are they possibly causing some problems that are not being attributed to them, but they help so much more than harm that we can't do away with them. That being said, I'm not a real fan of the guys in charge right now either.

Last ditch effort by the left predicting "massive consequences" to scare the elderly folks. They forget that the democrat Governor of NY killed hundreds of old folks with an E.O. Democrats don't give damn about health care. All they think about is political power.

 

[berg80]

It wasn't just Republicans that authorized those invasions.

Dem's regretful authorization of Shrub's military action in Iraq (he made the final decision in spite of UN inspectors reporting there was no active WMD program) was based on lies the admin told.

No concern for the kids whose parents are convinced vaccines are harmful because of RFK's reckless, baseless, assertions?

They had the security clearances to ensure they were getting the straight info or not. Are you excusing just democrats in this or everyone involved? IOW, was W lied to by the alphabet agencies as well, or is it just more convenient to blame him?

I don't think we really need a nation's doctor in the first place, it's far too political an appointment, and as we saw in Covid, leads to his/her pronouncements used to force people to get in line.

 

[whitehall]

Lefties used to love the Kennedy's. Camelot could do no wrong when they were democrats. RFK Jr. supports Trump and the left suddenly thinks the Kennedy's are poison. Freaking hypocrites.

Not the Kennedy's, RFK. Who is not supported by Kennedy's.

Members of the Kennedy family denounce RFK Jr.'s decision to endorse Trump

Members of the Kennedy family called the former independent presidential candidate's endorsement of Trump a "betrayal."

No matter what democrats say, it won't be true. It won't even have a passing acknowledgement of truth.

You're not even wrong.
