“The overwhelming majority of Americans, tea Partiers, etc aren’t.”
There you go again with yet another false statement. You don’t know your statement to be the truth, because it isn’t the truth. You have adopted false propaganda, because you want to believe it regardless of where it originated and regardless of the ultimate cost in lives after the totalitarians have been given the time and resources to become a much greater threat than they already are. Had the Allies strictly enforced the First World War Armistice terms, Germany and Hitler’s NAZI regime would have been put out of business with a minimal loss of life and treasure. World War Two in Europe as we know it with the loss of tens of millions of lives would not have occurred. Yet you agitate to make the same mistake again and look for excuse after excuse to avoid confronting the burdens of taking out the trash before it hurts someone very badly.
Whoa... Step back from the coffee mug...
It is McCain and other RINOS that are for interventionism.
April 30, 2014 poll from Wall Street Journal/NBC News finds that only 19% of Americans want Washginton DC to be “more involved” in oversaes interventionsim.
According to the Wall Street Journal the finding are indicative of “an anti-interventionist current that sweeps across party lines” in the U.S.
Sweeps across party lines.
Do you want more polls that show the same thing? I imagine not.
Then you follow up your strawman that I dealt with with just more baseless Ad Homs that are hollow and false.
If you have evidence that most Americans support intervention in Ukraine, please show it. Support for us to fight on the eastern front, and have a military confrontation with Russia is seen nowhere.
Huff and puff all you want, but by your standard there is not a single war on earth that we could not be dragged into.
If this is such a world threat and menace, then why are Germany, France, Czech republic, Poland, the Netherlands, etc all not intervening RIGHT NOW in Ukraine? It should affect them the most, right?
And if they are unwilling to go intervene, or cannot see a threat, then it isn’t our responsibility to run “save” them.
Agaian, he Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. 4/30/2014 (just one of others that could be cited):
The anti-interventionism in America stretches across party lines.
Jeb Bush can forget being president, as can Chris Christie, or any other establishmnet Repub/RINO.
“Had the Allies strictly enforced the First World War Armistice terms, Germany and Hitler’s NAZI regime would have been put out of business with a minimal loss of life and treasure”
Think hard Call to Duty video game commando. See if you can dream up why the USA, Britain and France did not decide to invade Germany in 1933?
Although wars are really fun, and hindsight is 20/20, England was devastated financially and psychologically by the war. They basically had an entire generation of young men slaughtered. The USA was wallowing deeper into the great depression and had just overturned Prohibition. WWI combined with the Spanish Flu was not exactly a fond memory among Americans. The gathering of WWI vets had just been mowed down by McArthur in DC.
France? They had higher losses than England and were still trying to figure out which brick went with which in the rubble. The other Ally, Russia, was in Stalin’s death grip right then experiencing the worst of their terror. And last, having been given the finger at Versailles by the others, former Ally Japan was beginning to act oddly in China right about then.
Everyone who fought in the war was sitting around in catatonic shock writing cathartic tomes of novels.
And right then, exactly then,,, because the Germans were violating some small provisions in Versailles, you think a leader then could have made a case for attacking Germany?
There was nobody, anywhere, who thought Germany needed attacking in the early 1930s. Or really even in the late 30s right up until they launched the war.
