Do we really want that to continue though? After 20 years, what has it delivered for the west?

As Biden said, how can you expect American soldiers to fight for a country that won't fight for itself?

Surely after Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, the futility of pro-longed occupations is clear by now?

I'd rather America's 'power and influence' be put to better use. Not that I want to see more war, but it would be better IMO if any future overseas American military action were concentrated on protecting liberal democracies (e.g. Taiwan) whose people are actually interested in defending themselves - notwithstanding the tragedy of Afghanistan and implications of Taliban rule on women.

A lot of us knew he was a spud even before he supposedly got voted in.

Hey apachie, I was thinking of starting a international political thread, not just to cover the US. Assume you would be interested as well? Only asking as I don't want to start and thread and just be talking to myself.

The hypocrisy and unintended hilarity of leftists knows no bounds.

His party stands behind the constitution and what it represents. He's completely unhinged. It's brilliant.
