Pull out of Ukraine

We need to be [b]America First[/b] and get out of Ukraine and NATO. Let them sort their own business out and stop wasting our tax money. Russia is winning and doing well anyways. It's a waste of money

Same thing with Taiwan. America should always come first. These liberals want to fight China and Russia and for what??

Look back in history, USA has had isolationist policies in the past. It didn't work out too well.

@fanuc2013 Neither has its interventionist policies. It now has no friends left on the international stage and its currency is being sent back as the nations of the world move away from the USD. The US has no business beyond corruption in Ukraine.

@hippyjoe1955 Talk to the guys that were really there, and they all say the politicians wouldn't let them win! We need leaders that will send our forces into any situation without one hand tied behind their backs. Now the financial picture is a different problem, and both parties are to blame, although the democrats are worse!

@fanuc2013 We need to realize the world would not stop turning if the US stopped peddling. There is NO need for the US to meddle in other nations sovereign affairs.

@hippyjoe1955 tell me that again when the US is surrounded on all sides by enemies, and gives this country an ultimatum. Then you will have something to whine about, but it will be too late, you will be a slave to a foreign power.

@fanuc2013 getting involved in Korea, Vietnam, Bay of Pigs invasion, Lebanon, Bosnia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, & Iraq didn't work out too well either...

We were ridiculed for being isolationists before WW2, then slandered as warmongers afterwards; one minute some country is begging for aid, the next, they're calling us invaders...

We used to fight to win, victory meant not only conquering our enemy, but destroying their will to fight; Now it's purely political, we fight with one arm tied behind our backs because of shitty ROE's & compromise or cave in due to political pressure, what should be a simple military conquest turns into clusterfuck that lasts years & accomplishes nothing.

Doesn't help matters either when many of our so called allies are directly aiding & abetting our enemies, giving them financial aid or selling military technology to them behind our backs; while their citizens & national media openly condemn us.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Yeah, look back at history; globalist polices have caused more harm than good; Russia, China, Iran, etc. used to be our allies... how'd that work out? The west civilized and industrialized the middle east, we created their oil industry, how's that working out for us now?

@fanuc2013 The US has now surrounded itself with enemies because of its interventionist policies. What was gained in Vietnam? What was gained in Afghanistan? What is being gained in Ukraine? Silly yankees don't know history.

@wildbill83 I agree with you, the politicians in too many cases, won't let our forces win! Our military could have taken care of the enemy in short order, but they weren't allowed to!
