    If you voted Democrat or Republican you 100% voted for this.

    You’ve sat through an entire generation now of presidents just deciding to involve us in wars, and in fact, several wars at once.

      People who argue both sides do not have a genuine opinion, they are just parroting what others have said.

          You’re pointing out a few flawed Democrat officials, not what the majority of voters believe. The Overton window is shifted too far right for us to have a better option.

        The irony of your reply is that the only modern president to purposely disengage us from Bush and Obama’s entrenched wars was Donald, most notably in Syria and Afghanistan. Obama even started calling US soldiers ‘advisors’ so he could keep tens of thousands deployed in Iraq and still pretend the war was over.

        But you’re just going to ignore that and pretend that, sure, Democrats are the rational ones when it comes to US wars.

          I’m apt to generally not trust the party that spews disinformation, flawed economic policy, erosion of civil rights, and anti science pro religion. I’m not apt to trust the party or candidate that lies intentionally far more often and used voter purging to cheat in the 2024 election, the one with a playbook straight from 1930s Germany.

          But sure, pretend that Republicans are generally better because of a few, hyper specific, cherry picked ideas relating only to US foreign military policy. For a limited time span. By your logic all non NATO members should be annexed by Israel and Russia tomorrow to avoid any further hassle.
