    In this case I'd be happier to NOT rub it in the alt-right's face but it seems likely that Trump's "no new wars" ideal will collapse. Of course with these turds they'll just blow right past it with some mental gymnastics that would make drug addled Limbaugh proud.

    Yeah typically my first thought when someone is pulling troops out of multiple regions overseas and telling Israel we have no interest in their new conflict my first thought it "Oh no who are we bombing now?!".

    Seriously, get help. This has been the most peaceful three year period in two decades.

      Right, because selling the Saudis massive amounts of weapons for their genocide is toootally different.

      He withdrew 2k troops from Syria, but went back on his promise to get out of Afghanistan. You're basically trying to make a bugger win out of a nothing burger. My original point stands, and as usual you trolls ignore the part where I said I'd prefer if he actually is the least wsr mongering president. Ah well, can't help morons, can only wsrn other travelers to avoid you like the plague.

        Even if it were a genocide, it certainly isn't new.

          Not new, that I'll agree with. About a century in the making.

          It's still a bloody mess, so brutal and so destructive to the general population in Yemen that 'genocide' may not be too much of a stretch. This is from almost a year ago, it's only gotten more horrific since: https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/02/1032811

          Continuing past wars or aiding ongoing genocides is still bad. If Trump were peaceful, he'd pull us out of the middle east 100%. Instead, he's just a typical establishment politician.

    I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars, where our great Military functions as a policing operation to the benefit of people who don’t even like the USA. The two most unhappy countries at this move are Russia & China, because they love seeing us bogged.....down, watching over a quagmire, & spending big dollars to do so. When I took over, our Military was totally depleted. Now it is stronger than ever before. The endless and ridiculous wars are ENDING! We will be focused on the big picture, knowing we can always go back & BLAST!
