this isnt political, its history. but that exact policy of isolationism and “appeasement” led directly and indirecty to ww2. we certainly need to get better at picking our battles for sure, but retreating from world influence is exactly what putin and xi want from us.
They can do it on their own dime
The government needs to do more about the drug problem and stuff going on here
The illegals and immigration problem needs settled
Foreigners have no problem with it because even Canada has a border and will ship even their own out
Then the Europe people are swamped by the illegals
Only Poland is smart enough to not take in illegals

Well, that didn't take long, lol
Newsflash...things are quite different now.
The international MIC pretty much runs the show. Ike warned about it but few paid attention. Donald ain't in that club (see Carlin) and they are passed. Well, TS.

( tough situation)

i agree with most of this. the thing i think that gets lost sometimes is that the very reason we spend a lot of this money abroad is to try to keep some of these other countries from being as big of *s-wordholes so that people dont NEED to leave and enter other places illegally. again, we could do better and be more wise with our dollars and usually we *f-word things up worse than they were before ill grant you that. but leaving a lot of these places without our help leads them to get help from russia/china/iran etc.

Tor, I have read most of what gets said here. Some of your posts have come across as stirring the pot, even if that wasn't your intention. Dallas has been rode hard and put away wet by the system here, while money is wasted on things it should not be wasted on. Thus his anger. I do find it strange how people in other nations keep track of the goings on of the USA, while "most" Americans can't find Norway on a map. Hell, many can't find Missouri. Lol. We don't have the outsider perspective that you do, and we all have to parse information that our respective media organizations push down our throats.

Very difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff unless one has first hand knowledge. We could use a little more consideration from each other, as I suspect we are all very similar and all want the same thing. Most people just want to make a decent living, raise a family and be left alone. Unfortunately the powers that be want us all distracted and bickering amongst ourselves over stupid chit. We all need to question what it is they don't want us to pay attention to. Have a nice day, and try to see how your statements could be misconstrued.
Well said, Larry.

but the thing is there is no difference between china and ukraine
even if they win the american people will never be paid back
and ukraine doesnt do anything but launder money for the ones from dc and europe
so as far as im concerned ukraine can become a glass dish i dont care

Well, I clearly understand that something has been badly said on my part, even if the origin was not intended that way.

Maybe your guys have a different way of looking at politicians than I do, maybe you look up to the presidents, I mostly look down on politicians myself, we are promised a lot, and we are always the ones who pay the ultimate price for their lies.

Perhaps your guys are even more frustrated with politicians than I am, that it takes very little for something to be taken up very, very wrongly.

My opinion on tariffs, I understand very well what you guys want to achieve, and personally I don't mind at all if you Americans want it, maybe it will be good, but mostly tariffs are something that the common man will notice in his wallet.
If they took in tariffs and let the income benefit you with much lower personal taxes for workers, great plan!

Ukraine, it is primarily a European problem and we Europeans should continue to put money and weapons in the hands of the Ukrainians,
But there is much more than Ukraine, the Chinese are out pressuring their neighbors with the military, Iran is sitting around ordering assassination groups to take out Donald Trump.
If we civilized nations can't stand together and fight against this....

Today was the first time I have answered another person badly back on this forum, and I have been a member for 7-8 years.
Obviously I should have just let it go and not replied back to Dallas, that's the easiest thing.
But I didn't do that, I gave back, even though many of you surely felt that I should just turn the other cheek right from when he started personally.

Perhaps it is the case that we foreigners should guard our tongues on this forum, that it will take very little before you lose control of your temper due to everything that is happening inside the US.
If that's the case, let me know and I'll have Randy Evans delete my account ASAP.

Do I hate Dallas after today? Definitely not.
Will I have problems with him in the future? Not from my side.
Am I going to log in to see if I can somehow tease him up? No.

That's my 2 cents

Now the election is over and the choice has been made. I come here to be called a slacker, have my manhood called into question, watch others bust what is left of Dallas balls and occasionally learn something. Can we now return to our regularly scheduled programming and stop the political dik swinging?
Hear Hear.

Please.
Fixt it for you Ex VP.

Nicely stated my friend.
