The only failure in this war is letting politicians run it.
You can’t wage a half-war or a quarter-war like our leaders continue to do. The terms compassionate war or a limited war are contradictions. War is perhaps the ultimate human atrocity, unfortunately at this stage in human consciousness it still seems to be a necessity.
I have little interest in the “worlds” opinion of us. those critical have little foundation to base their criticisms upon i.e. the pot calling the kettle black. We are a sovereign nation. It’s seems any country in the world is “entitled” to their sovereignity except the U.S. We have no allies in this world, being the richest and most powerful nation at this time makes us the biggest target, everyone wants what we have and are biding their time as to how and when they can take it. International law? It doesnt’ supercede any true sovereign nations laws and it shouldn’t.
The Republicans in this election got what they deserved, they lost the elections all by themselves the Dems just reaped the benefits of the Republican failure.
