Hogwash.
That comment is unworthy of FR.
Really? Tell me outside of the groups I named list me our friends. Don’t let a dependence on our goodwill or military nor industrial assets cloud your judgement. Russia, no. China, no. Japan, not really. India, no. Nobody in the ME or Africa. What does that leave? Australia and a handful of small isolated countries.
Your opinion is exactly why we are in the boat we are in. Nobody is our friend. Get used to it. We have been lulled into a state of kumbaya and it will hinder us from recovery. I am around people from all over the world every day that are here working on visas and they do not love, nor care about this country. Sadly, I see a great many born Americans that also do not care as long as they have their distractions.
We can not sit the fence anymore. One of GWB’s more salient points was “you are either with us or against us”.
