“We are under threat because we occupy so many countries,”

I know from experience that we have military bases all over the world and in the world. Does anyone know how many countries the US occupies?

Maybe Mr. Paul can expand on the word ‘occupy’

Typically and in MSM parlance, ‘occupy’ brings up ugly graphics of jackbooted thugs who give a whole new dimension to the concept, rape/pillage/plunder.

The US has never and will never impose that kind of ‘occupation’ on FRIEND OR FOE.

I defy Mr. Paul to produce facts to the contrary.

People who are or ever were LUCKY ENOUGH to host US troops, benefited enormously and likely would not be alive except FOR the presence of US troops.

I hate Paul for suggesting such a scenario and I hate the MSM for swallowing it whole. Don’t those clowns in the media know how to ask questions or to challenge reckless and groundless statements like this?

Oh…I forgot!!! The MSM is THE final word… The MSM is THE supreme and constantly unerring authority of everything. Their pure, incorruptible and impartial pronouncements are mana from heaven!!! For this Godlike wisdom we ought to stand hat in hand with ignorant wonder, and humble reverential gratitude like prehistoric savages before an idol.

Who needs judges, majorities in Congress, demonstrable fact, juries, credible accounts to the contrary, actual records???? Do we even need our very own, common sense ability to discern white from black ??????? NO!!

WE have the f&^%ing infallible and unselfish MSM looking out for us! Sheesh!

Sure.

Exactly Zero. We have a forward deployed Presence in MAny countries, at the invitation of those countries, but we “occupy” none.
