Like others have mentioned, I do not open China’s propaganda war machine, which is a massive, AI-integrated apparatus controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to shape global narratives, boost nationalism, and suppress dissent.

This paragraph could be slightly modified and still be valid. Change China’s for US’, change CCP for billionaire led GOP - still valid and makes sense.

I had none of these problems in the “Good old Days”, just two tin cans and a long length of string.
In March 1939 the Bank of England surrendered to Germany 23 tons worth 5.6 million pounds of gold that belonged to the National Bank of Czechoslovakia
I’m assuming your not including the supposed COVD scare tactic the put the world economy into a tail spin. The scare tactic worked back then and may still be lingering.
Ya, but we are still $1.75 below the previous scare. Our fuel price is at $3.00.
It’s been explained to after time how the woke like to accuse others of the deep beliefs. Best to just ignore him.
The US farmer are in direr straights with out fertilizer.
Wait that’s what was said about the Ukraine war, where it was one if the largest supplier of fertilizer to the US. In which we are still not getting fertilizer from Ukraine and some how still have fertilizer.??
32,000? But worried about 7 service members KIA.
I must be missing something.
perhaps in the US you’ve gone back to old fashioned methods of crop fertilisation, I’m sure there is plenty of supply.

In dessert storm, our mission was to get Iraq out of Kuwait. We did that and got out.
The rest were political war where the soldiers hand were being tied. I am surprised the US was over there by ourselves! Wait no we were not.
As long as you don’t take Venezuela into account.
Not sure how Trump policies has creating a negative impact on the future.
32,000 citizens of Iran were killed last month in Iran. What exactly is the standards of genocide? Killing your own citizens is not genocide but retaliation on a country that attacked another country and wanted the hostages returned and hostilities would stop, is genocide.
Trump pulled out of the Iran international nuclear talks because countries were giving into Iran demands and getting nothing in return. Correct. Biden did give Iran billions of their frozen funds and terrorists attacks picked up. Without a international nuclear inspector being able to go into Iran to check their nuclear development program, we were suppose to take their word on that.
Again, don’t count the regime change in Venezuela or Panama.
It didn’t happen last year is probably because Trump had to fix problems from the last administration, border, getting woke out of government agencies, getting better trade deals with countries that didn’t want to discuss the trade deals, and they all finally finally seen the light and negotiated, getting countries to invest in US manufacturing and the list goes on.
There are no missiles, if you don’t take Iran major trade partner, North Korea which have ICBMs that can reach Tel Avi. Because N. Korea don’t want nuclear weapons.
And a side note: Russia’s supply of drones from Iran has come to a complete stop.

Like you stated, purely a matter of opinion.

In Trumps last administration, he told everyone in NATO to pay their fair share to NATO. They complained about it and did not pay their share. But when Russia attacked Ukraine the mass majority of European countries didn’t have the military equipment. But had more than their share of NATO funds, but had enough to fund and help equipment Ukraine.
The US had the funds and equipment on hand.
The main reason Trump reduced the funds and equipment to Ukraine because Biden did not resupply the equipment and munitions that was given to Ukraine just like the Oil reserve that he sold to other countries.
Oh, I thought this has been going on for a couple of decades with Iran. My mistake.
The rest is future productions opinion.
Ah, the simplistic re-writing of the liberation of Kuwait. Let’s examine some of the important bits that your stars & stripes blurred recall missed out.
There was a coalition. Bush snr went to great lengths to build support for taking the fight to the Iraqi forces that had invaded Kuwait. That was cross party support in the US, international support from the UN and direct support from multiple allies. 42 countries joined the war. This was significant in terms of troops, hardware and expertise. But more significant if things went wrong as it would mean the coalition would be also responsible for fixing the problems.
After liberating Kuwait coalition forces (US, UK, French) did enter Iraq and engage with Iraqi forces. However rather than press on to Baghdad the coalition agreed peace terms with Iraq, whilst in Iraqi territory. Bush and the military leadership recognised that that attempting to overthrow Saddam would create many, many problems - a likely rupture of the coalition from countries who rightly felt they had not signed up for that; a serious risk of a long, drawn out troops on the ground war that was not fully planned or prepared for; more and more resentment across the middle east; possible need to have to effectively run the country; likely high military casualties; high risk of civil war with very high casualties and huge numbers of refugees.
Do these reasons sound familiar? They sound a lot like the way the second gulf war went even though the first bit (not a long drawn out campaign) was concluded. Do they sound like the risks now with this idiotic war on Iran. Does the preparations for support and a coalition sound unfamiliar? Going it on the decision of one man (well two really) only creates issues for the future. Anyone who does not learn from the past is a complete fool - step forward Mr Trump.

Yes, very much your mistake. Your own government has been at pains to explain the previous couple of strikes attempting to destroy Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not war. So perhaps, as its only you saying its all been a 20 year war, you need to find another argument. Jeez.

You are correct, we did not attack Japan. Fact: Japan attacked US navy.
Why didn’t Japan surrender after Nagasaki?
