Nice story and I'll give you the benifit of the doubt it is true but I would guess it would be the exception rather than the rule.
You are discribing Obama's foreign policy for the last eight years. I guess Syria is stable and your Euro countries are benifiting from all the refuges fleeing to your countries. Right or wrong about 43 going into Iraq once there remain with enough troops to keep it stable. Obama's withdrawal allowed a JV squad to evolve into a major threat . With our yellow neck leader and then secretary of state Hillary Clinton Russia has puffed it's chest out and continues to create problems in that neck of the woods. I would mention Iran but I am sure the Iran deal is keeping them in check.
I would rather be out in front then leading from behind. There have been aggressors in this world since the beginning of time. Did u not learn your lesson in WWII. Because they dont say they are coming after you doesn't mean they wont. But your disciplined armed forces will handle it. Maybe this time we will stay home.
Since the left hates to identify and fight evil they try to create John Lennon's "Imagine" . So instead they will continue to fight the important battles like global warming.
Just curious do you think China was glad we intervened during WWII or later on the S. Koreans.
Gordo the reason I turned my back on the Hawks of the world is that I learned the futility of war and so should the worlds political elk , after two world wars and god knows how many so called peace time ones They start them its the poor sods that elected them that has to sort out their respective mess's.
As long as these politicians fail to heed this lesson then we will teater on the edge of Armagedon yes your country and mine are helping to police the world we cant affoard it and I doubt very much the US can keep sucking up the cost either and our friend putin knows this .
Never mind john lennons Imagine try instead Black sabbaths War Pigs I think that about sum's it up .
Was I proud to serve my countrry "yes" would I do i again "no" as to China they will become a major threat not only to the West but also to Russia too Korea well look at the mess we left that country in , the South have grown rich "yes" Then there is a completely Isolated North with a Nutter at the helm , do you think he cares what folk think of him "no" he isnt even listening to China these days and though his weapons may be small at the moment with each successive nuclear test he becomes more and more emboldened in the belief of his might .
This world now deserves to live in peace with us respecting one another .
Dave .
PS when I joined the Navy at HMS Ganges in the early 1970's which nations sailors did we have training wth us , it wasnt the US nor any other western power , it was infact the Irainian Navy, yet within a few short years both your nation and mine where against them .
