Just because a bunch of people who call themselves conservatives were duped by artificial motivations for the War on Terror (because they wouldn't have accepted the real motivations) now want to run away from our responsibilities as the leader of the world doesn't mean we should.
Luckily the "deep state" of the Pentagon seems to run circles around yall's efforts to contain them with your fifth grade level understanding of how yall think the world should be run.
Our nation is falling apart internally and you're concerned about whether or not we get to still play world police. What benefits came from the wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan? Seems like you're concerned about the well-being of the MIC and not the American people.

So when Ukraine aid passes (and it will, there is a reason many Republicans want it too) don't blame me I am just a messenger.
Yes, we're aware that defense contractors control our corrupt politicians.

Yeah because the only reason we aren’t declining faster as a country is because our quality of life is subsidized by the dollar. The dollar is strong because our government is the strongest institution on the planet. It’s the strongest institution on the planet because our military can wipe out any other one.
It’s not difficult: I want to give us the margin to turn the ship around. I know some of y’all are beyond that with the whole burn it down civil war shite but I actually don’t want my kids to live in a hell hole.

Nothing, but our nation building in Japan, Germany and South Korea created some of our strongest allies on the planet. You can’t win them all.
Plus Ukraine isn’t like any of those because we aren’t sending troops there, just old equipment and the minimum cash needed to keep their government running to use those weapons.
