I watched it crumble under Joey bribem.

This is the opposite.

You mean you saw Biden pull the country out of a devastating pandemic without going into a recession and with a sky high stock market. Something Trump and his chaotic and foolish way of running the country would never have done. As much as I don't like Biden, he got certain things done. This country would be in the complete shitter if Trump were president the last 4 years.

Trump raked in big money from foreign nations. Experts fear he'd do it more if re-elected

During his presidency, Donald Trump's companies took an estimated $160 million from foreign governments. Ethics experts warn it could happen again.

yeah, keep calling Biden, Bridem. Meanwhile Trump is out in the open that's he's up for sale. lol

Oh so it’s not the use of special forces going into another country, it’s the amount of people that might be killed that defines an invasion?

Haha you dembots

So did Obama invade Yemen? Libya? Did xiden invade Somila?

No one is talking about qualifying an invasion by the number of casualties the other side has to take. I'm indirectly asking you, how many soldiers would the US need to kill 175,000 cartel members? How many weapons systems would need to be transported into Mexico? How many jets, copters and planes would be needed for support? How many missiles would need to be dropped. When the US invaded Afghanistan they had their hands full dealing with 45,000 taliban fighters. For further context, Ukraine had a standing army of 126,000 at the beginning of the Russian invasion. For some reason, you think the cartels are a couple of street gangs that special forces can just go in and kill and leave the next day. If the US were to do this and do this right a declaration for a full scale war would be needed against Mexico. That is the only way congress would release funds for such an operation. Equating killing off all the cartels to killing off Bin Laden and his guards is literally laugh out loud stupid. As for Yemen, the US had to conduct hundreds of drone strikes just to kill a few hundred members of Al Qaeda. These are all relatively small operations.

So your comment is dumb

So your comment is dumb

No, you were just too stupid to comprehend a simple question, and you still can't figure it out!

Yeah I can’t figure out your definition of invasion

It seems to be different depending on who’s in the Oval Office
