Yes, eventually

You think the world as it used to be was survivable in perpetuity without conflict?

Would was going to ever fix anything? the UN?

Dems would never ever been able to re-ignite or "accelerate" any war machine agenda whatsoever due to severe pushback from both their own party along with Republican-Conservatives.

I was living in New Orleans when the Ukraine war broke out. You are wrong. Saw it first hand.

But you are wrong a lot.

Today.

Tomorrow? Maybe we're also dodging drones. People don't realize they are the great weaponry-military equalizer. Even "tiny" countries (and enemies within) can become deadly, dangerous trouble-makers.

Why should the warmonger past have to do with controlling the fate of our peaceful present and future? Are you saying war is "inevitable , so just lie there and enjoy it"?

How about cooler, saner heads running this dumb country who are NOT obsessed with "regime change"?

context is lost on everyone i guess; i thought it would be obvious.

the dems can't risk another trump so they're laying all their cards on the table..look at Biden's 'presidency' and now Virginia.

they were committed to destroying the country all along; trump just forced this to the forefront.

"Saw" what "first hand"?

Of course. Then again you dwell in an altogether different alternative reality.

Ah, I see what you were saying. He made the D Party move up their rollout of their batshit crazy agenda, instead of slowly raising the temperature of the water in the pot.

Backing out of the climate bs, ending green subsidies and deregulating emissions was their plan? Why didn't they do it when they had power?

Kicking China out of the Western hemisphere?

Evening the playing field on trade with tariffs and upending globalism?

Closing the border?

Clamping down on cartels?

Ending USAID and investigating rampant fraud?

Requiring ID to vote?

They had 12 years between Biden and Obama, why didn't they get started on this agenda? Was dropping pallets of cash off to the mullahs in Iran 4D chess?

Looking weak as frick withdrawing from Afghanistan getting 13 americans killed and losing billions in equipment to the Taliban?

Letting China fly a spy balloon unmolested across America? 5D chess?

Allowing Isis to form a caliphate?

Importing violent South American prisoners and terrorists?

Letting Iran and Hezbollah train Venezuelans in terror tactics so they could walk across an open border and set up sleeper cells? 6D chess?

Why are the policies seemingly diametrically opposed?
