Too many talk about US decline. Way too many want an isolationist disengaged America. But look at the last ~24 hours. The US provided Ukraine $500 million in critical military aid, killed the #1 terrorist off in Afghanistan & girded democracy in Taiwan. No one else could do that.

I think what you meant to say is that US taxpayers enriched the military industrial complex by $500 million to prolong a war (giving just enough aid to ensure the destruction of vast swaths of Ukraine in the process) that may not have started in the first place under Trump, used a drone to kill a terrorist that they had known the location of for months because it was a time that was politically most advantageous for them to do so (or they lacked the stomach to deal with a handful of collateral damage to take him out earlier) and made a symbolic trip to Taiwan that will further enrich the military industrial complex and heighten the risk of nuclear war.

Translations/clarifications of this deep wisdom:

1) The dreaded "military industrial complex" is apparently responsible for most, if not all, political and military decisions in this world. All those politicians and government professionals are just pure puppets, doing whatever Boeing tells them to do. Good to know.

2) If only Trump were president, he'd FIX this military industrial complex problem. You know, like he fixed lots of other problems. Moreover, who better to fix a problem presumably involving corruption and other slimy things than the most corrupt and slimy president ever? Good plan.

3) Trump's foreign policy genius is such that it would have dissuaded Putin from trying to take Ukraine.

3) Our government unjustifiably delayed the drone strike. He has great sources that tell him that.

4) The Biden administration worries about collateral damage. Yep, first administration to do THAT.

5) Pelosi's trip will enrich the military industrial complex. ???

6) We should do whatever China - or apparently any other country with nuclear weapons - wants, because they might use them. They CERTAINLY won't over a political trip, but we should still pretend to worry about it.....because it gives us an opportunity to criticize a D politician.

7) More generally regarding China, we should do whatever that virtual dictatorship wants, so as not to upset them (unless, of course, the "upsetter" was Trump, in which case it would be awesome).

Again, thanks for today's wisdom.

Putin invaded Ukraine while Biden was president. Not trump. The libs don’t know how to deal with this fact.
