It's hard to fight back against the enemy when your new leader has to constantly go into hiding and carry the paranoia that they'll be blown away upon acceptance of their new leadership position. The world is a power vacuum, if we sit back and allow them to operate with no pressure, they will pursue nuclear weapons and continue to fund terrorism around the world as they've done for the last 50 years.
Yeah ok, whatever you want to tell yourself. Maybe one day we will wake up and realize the trillions of dollars we have spent adventuring around in the desert could have gone a lot further by spending it on stuff here. This was supposed to be the administration that got us out of that tired old playbook. They got suckered into it. So predictable.
Speaking of nukes, Iran has enough enriched uranium to field about 11 weapons. Where is it? Did we get it?
Sorry, but it all seems very unnecessary to me. Now fuel is skyrocketing but somehow the people who were screaming no new wars are defending this one? I don't know man. I just don't want yet another generation to suffer through the same bs that mine did. Maybe I am getting soft.
