  • The People's Republic of America?
    This is why cannot get anything done, it is clear from the posts right above - we cannot get past the blame game: democrats vs. republicans. Remember, we will all go down together.
    Here is a thought for you. Arms race destroyed USSR, now it is destroying the US. We were able to cut defense spending drastically during Clinton times because we used diplomacy to resolve conflicts. Come the latest administration, and everything must be solved by force. Well, diplomacy is much cheaper, military is very expensive.
    I give a pass on the Afganistan war, even though we should've kown it cannot be won ( Britain and Russia already tried). We should've invested in their development somehow, through Pakistan or whatever and unseated Taliban that way.
    Then come Iraq. Everybody said it was going to be a disaster. Now we are stroking flames with Russia.
    We need to stop building an empire and fix our poblems at home.
    Yes, it feels good to froce everyone to submission. Especially, those pesky russians ( I was born in Russia by the way, so this unti-russian sentiment seems completely irrational to me) and iranians. But it is not good for our economy. We should be smarter than this. If our economy crashes, who is going to be the looser?
    Without the wars we would've been so much better off.
