Do you not understand that this whole idea of being the world's protector of Liberty and defender of Justice is the ULTIMATE liberal ideology?

You think sticking our noses in the business of other sovereign nations, half way around the world, with which we have little trade is a conservative position?

I don't want any part of entangling alliances, I just want all of our soldiers home, and to conduct ourselves in an economically sound manner at home so that we may trade with other nations abroad without fear of extortion. You think that's liberal?

I get it now. You didn't even READ this thread before posting.

It's true, I stopped when I got to this idiocy:

Let's say it's the worst case scenario and we HAVE to go to war over this, what then? Who are we fighting for?

I should have just moved on.

It's just that I keep seeing this sort of shite, "What if we go to war with Russia over Ukraine?", and "What if Russia drops a nuke on us?" and it just gives me the creeps. I remember the lead up to both wars with Iraq, and I kept seeing these crazy hypotheticals as if they were understood as being realistic, and the next thing I knew, they were actually taking place.

Maybe if we all just calmed down and quit thinking in terms of putting our armed forces in harm's way for the benefit of other people, we would be at a lot less risk of having our armed forces in harm's way for the benefit of other people.

But ultimately, your post was ridiculous. 'Who are we fighting for if Russia declares war on us?"...
