Instead of letting others here tell me what I think, here are some of MY views on politics, government, the military, the world and some other things.
[b]I’ve finally had it with snarky commenters telling me inaccurately what I think and looking to pick fights rather than think.[/b]
[b]HERE GOES:[/b]
I am opposed to imperialist sheriffing by the US. Our carriers shouldn’t be randomly floating world wide poised to bomb the hell out of some vastly outweaponed country for non transparent reasons while at the same time being sitting ducks waiting to be sunk by existing sophisticated weaponry. My point is that with technology AND the stealth fighters and bombers the US has developed using old carriers basically as island airstrips easily extended plane range. I see that as a better choice than scrapping or scuttling them now. What type of “world police person” the US is or has been needs to be in the rear view. Between Biden DeSantis Haley and Trump, guess who is most likely to espouse that view? Crazy right. While I did support Trump in 2016 and in fact was a delegate to the RNC convention that nominated him, he is way far away in my rear view. If I had to choose among the four, I’d pick Haley despite her hawkish pronouncements and hope it’s tough talking to distinguish herself from the field only. DeSantis is a Trump wannabe and too much of a wuss to openly disagree with him. Trump’s baggage disqualifies him as does his age and basically way out of shape unhealthy appearance. A walking heart attack. Biden is even older. We see weekly the RIGHT NOW Biden is a doddering old fool. Time will make that even worse if possible. You may had read previously my opinion that a candidate should be no more than 60 on the day the first term oath is taken. It’s not a disqualifier for running for reelection if the first requirement is met. At most out of office at 68. Biden’s appearance and action validate the he’s too old argument. Even RFK, Jr. is too old as is Cornell West. I would seriously consider either if they were ten years younger. There is a reason that presidents appear to have aged 20 years after being in office for 8. It’s a grueling job. The only three recent presidents meeting my age requirement are BO, WJC and GWB. While disagreeing with some policies of all three, history so far has been kind to all of them and their standing among presidents will only increase as time goes by. Maybe in the future medical advances my change my age criteria because historically people with money and sense age better and better every decade. We should be ashamed of ourselves for having two such horrible frontrunners both of whom we have seen in action and have failed us. At least the republicans are on the right track age wise. The democrats irresponsibly do not have a VP in office capable of being president. Had they not failed us we would have three qualified candidates. The hypothetical VP who isn’t, DeSantis and Haley. I’d be pleased with any election outcome among them regardless of the winner and hope the nominees make sensible VP selections. I guess I’ve rambled a bit here however I’m sick and tired of being inaccurately labeled a Trump sycophant when that is patently false. Had we had any sense we would have learned from Korea and used our citizens and treasure more wisely. Not VietNam, no Ukraine, no Middle East, no lesser known blunders, a better Iran. When you think about it if Iran was India like in world approach the world would be a better place. Maybe Putin will die soon either from age, bad lifestyle or murdered and fresh ideas will flourish in Russia. Fortunately currently lined up to defend us from China’s unknown plans, a team of the US, India, Canada, the Uk, the EU and others will keep China at bay for awhile. Let’s keep Trump and Biden out of the WH and begin to understand the 21st century.
