oh the horror of not pushing for regiments of other people's sons to deploy to 100+ nations to maintain our presence so that other nations deployed in a fraction of these places don't think we're not fully committed to maintaining our empire..

Simplistic. Question is: Does it pay a peace dividend that protects the nation & spares more loss of life among military than if we pack up and go home?
-
answer: No, of course it doesn't Still waiting on that "peace dividend" from Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Korea. Can't wait for the peace dividend from war with Iran...

Hard to prove a negative. But if we exited Afghanistan and left terrorists to plot there again, well, that's among reasons 9/11 happened. I'm not suggesting no risk/no cost. I'm choosing what I think is less on both counts for the country. This is obviously debatable.
-
so...our military prescence at a cost of thousands of lives and misery, suffering for thousands more + a trillion $$ over 16yrs has prevented terrorist attack planning? How? And how much planning occurred there before we invaded? And are we to ignore all claims by the planners

If a Bush/McCain/Flake-Republican would have the same plan u would love it. Maybe Trump isn't even wrong, they keep them in limbo.

Nice assault on my integrity. Appreciate that.

Didn't mean it this way, but u used "CNN-language" (narrative).

I used Drucker language. You should have followed my TL during the last administration. But no worries, didn't mean to overreact.

So what exactly are we supposed to "stick" FOR, David?
-
Influence & allies, which ultimately pays dividends in peace & prosperity. Otherwise Iran/Russia/China become emboldened & they will undermine U.S. interests, which ultimately could lead to the opposite.
-
Well, but what exactly are the U.S. interests in Syria? Military involvement? Seems to me
@potus that if we don't create a magnet for conflict in Syria our relations will be improved. So what would IRC accomplish in Syria if we don't "stick"?

Syria is a war initiated by
@BarackObama@HillaryClinton and company. Part of the Arab Spring strategy to win American elections by copying the protests and insurrection. A BAD idea.@potusThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
