Who Will Be the Next 'America First' President?

[beautress]

We cannot add more promises to go to war over more countries. We need to regroup.

Trump had planned to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by May, so why would people celebrate Biden's later date?

...​

​

Donald Trump himself weighed in Sunday, saying Biden's decision was "wonderful," but Joe should have stuck to Trump's May 1 deadline for withdrawal from Afghanistan.​

​

Adding a veteran's voice to the broad consensus was the American Legion which called for an end to America's "forever war," and repeal of congressional authorizations to fight this war.​

​

...​

​

Let Republicans openly reject the Biden administration's unilateral commitments to fight China for tiny reefs claimed by the Philippines in the South China Sea and Japan in the East China Sea.​

​

And, surely, it is time for that "agonizing reappraisal" of NATO promised by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in the 1950s.​

​

Why are we still committed, under NATO, to go to war with Russia on behalf of Germany, when the Germans, with their Nord Stream 2 pipeline, are doubling their dependency on Russia's natural gas?​

​

According to the Atlantic Council President Richard Haas, the U.S. should abandon its policy of "strategic ambiguity" as to what we would do if China attacks Taiwan — and make a commitment to defend Taiwan.​

​

But why should the United States commit to a war with China for an island President Richard Nixon conceded in 1972 was part of China?​

​

Among the reasons Trump won in 2016 is that he offered a foreign policy of easing tensions with Vladimir Putin's Russia, getting us out of the endless wars of the Middle East, and making free-riding allies pay the cost of their own defense.​

​

Yet, though, currently, we have commitments to fight for 29 NATO nations, there is a push on among our foreign policy elites to add new nations, such as Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Finland and Sweden.​

​

But, again, why surrender our freedom to decide whether to fight?​

​

As for South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, each could build a nuclear deterrent, as Israel, Pakistan and India have done. If a war were to be fought with China that could go nuclear, why would we want to be a mandatory participant?​

I don't know, excaliber. I have confidence in Donald Trump to fix the problem, so long as he keeps his eye on the Kingdom of Heaven as he did last time around.
