I for one think the US should just send all taxpayer money to foreign countries with no strings attached.

Those shithead Russians shouldn't be allowed to tell the American people what I said 10 years ago, show me sniffing girls or explain how I fueled my son's cocain habit with Ukrainian money! Election interference!
These Biden videos are insane. How can anyone vote for someone so disgusting
It's just like legalizing marijuana. They don't want a vote so they can just blame it on someone else if it goes wrong. But they still want to take all the credit if it goes well
The staggering cost of Elizabeth Warren’s plans: $4.2 trillion per year.
Elizabeth Warren has a plan for everything. Some of those plans are expensive. With Warren emerging as a front-runner in the Democratic presidential contest, Yahoo Finance tallied the cost of her plans.
Altogether, the Massachusetts senator’s agenda would require $4.2 trillion per year in new federal spending, and a like amount in new taxes, if she paid for everything without issuing new debt. The federal government currently spends about $4.4 trillion per year, so Warren’s plans would nearly double federal spending.......
Adios señora.
You don't win the peace, that's how you get in situations like Syria, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany after WW1. A war isn't simply between two opposing military's, the civilian population's will to fight or oppose must also be broken. Trying to win the peace ends up costing more American soldiers lives than necessary.
War is awful and brutal, it should be the last resort. The point of it is for the enemy populace to fear you enough that the thought of opposing you isn't worth it. See Japan and Germany after WWII, the South after the civil War.
Hmmm...the amount that we currently spend on healthcare. Where do you think the $4.2T already being spent would go if her plan was implemented? Did you honestly think that everyone would get to pocket the premiums, co-pays, etc currently being spent?
I’m happy to see my taxes go up by 124% so some bureaucrats in Washington can send a taste to health care providers while increasing the wealth of the counties surrounding DC exponentially. Seems reasonable.
Did he write false?And warrior-cat had #4. I wonder what took him so long.
I'm just glad there is at least one semi-attractive female Democrat left in this country.

Lol hillary and dems are now basically claiming the plot of the movie "the ring" is why she lost

It's ok though, they moved the power plants out of cities, according to Mike Bloomberg.

This is how you know climate change is a farce. The Dems keep their damn mouth shut about China's coal consumption because China is their overlord. They are beholden to Xi.
I’d definitely buy her a drink. or two or three. whatever it took.
So your saying you want to be involved in a trouple like Hill's husband was lol.
Bill, winning the peace means that the opposing forces give up the fight.
A civilization or culture that has never known anything but war might be willing to fight for eternity. In the course of history there have been at least 8 wars that lasted > 500 years. Unless you're willing to exterminate a civilization then war may be a test of willpower more than military power. If you think differently then I'd just tell you to go brush up on your history, it's pretty well documented. The US didn't win the American Revolution because we had a stronger military...we won because we had a better reason to fight.
For every Germany, every Confederacy, even Japan post WWII there's Ottoman Empire that remained at war for over 600 years...there's an Arab - Israeli conflict that seems to have no end. Afghanistan has been in constant war since 1978...we have been there 18 years.
To appreciate peace you have to know peace. If war/conflict is all you have ever known and the end of one conflict only signals the beginning of another then what incentive do you have to surrender? That is how much of the 3rd world lives. Not much different than life on the African Sahara. Always trying to eat and not be eaten. Because you ate today doesn't guarantee you will eat tomorrow or that you won't meet up with some force stronger than yourself.
In your defense you know little about that kind of life. Your mindset is that there is some limit of suffering that anyone is willing to endure that isn't beyond your ability to dish out. On the other hand what are the limits that you would defend your home? I don't know that life either but I'm well enough read to know that it exists.
BTW, Germany post WWI was kind of our own doing. Europe thought it needed to punish Germany for WWI. The terms of surrender under the Treaty of Versailles economically devastated the Germany. That's exactly what created the conditions that allowed Hitler to rise to power and take over. We took a 180 degree approach to Germany post WWII. We helped them back on their feet and helped them rebuild. We did the same with Japan.
That means I hear both sides and if I want to check something, I do it. I don't just listen or watch one station. I get the short of it here.
Let's see that chart displayed per capita.** News Flash from the 'Hold them accountable' Department. **
China now burns more coal than all other countries combined: 1907m tonnes vs 1864m tonnes.
Never said anything of the sort. Simply stated that we won the major battles and the politicians lost the war. Like normal, you lefties inject what you want into the post to twist it they way you want it to be. Sound familiar. Adam Schiff taught you well.
So you are OK with Trump pulling out of Syria right? I am.
