My point is that we have proven ineffective when we go to war with countries whose sole identity is to oppose Western Ideology. Its not as simple as removing the leader. I mean the fact that we are still dealing with this afterwards the collapse USSR should tell you all that you need to know. No American lives or DOLLARS need be wasted.
Your arguments are nonsensical.
We are not at war.
American govt is funding a country that is at war and the country we are funding is winning.
No American lives have been lost.
No American money has been wasted, American foreign policy is getting an epic return on investment.
Of course we are still dealing with the aftershocks of the USSR, the USSR was the world's #2 superpower a mere 30 years ago. For reference, the aftershocks of the collapse of the British Empire lasted 50+ years, the aftershocks of Spanish Empire collapse lasted over a century.
Also, no one here has even mentioned republicans, so you can take your bootlicking rhetoric elsewhere.
You've got people in here praising Trump, talking about if he was in office America would be helping Putin carve up Ukraine, etc. You don't have to lie to kick it.
