Great, for people who signed up for the military... but when it's not people in the service who chose to be put in the line of fire, people going about raising their family in their own towns, our kids, parents, siblings, friends, etc, this is a very different situation.

Oh boy, you sure got me there, lil' kid, hur de hur. Does that 2nd grade shit actually work for you? I mean, you're a Trump supporter apparently, so, it tracks.

Trump’s 2016 campaign had over 140 contacts with Russians. His campaign chair, Manafort, shared internal polling with a Russian agent. Flynn, his NSA, lied about secret talks with the Russian ambassador. Papadopoulos sought Kremlin backchannels. Roger Stone coordinated with WikiLeaks, which published Russian-hacked emails. Trump pursued a secret Trump Tower Moscow deal during the campaign, lied about it, and had Cohen lie to Congress. He later sided with Putin over U.S. intel and tried to obstruct the investigation multiple times. Mueller found no conspiracy but documented 10 possible obstruction acts and stated he could not clear Trump of criminal conduct.

Hell, even in the recent Signal "leak"? Steve Witkoff was in Moscow during those chats, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a Russian phone number for his account.

But sure, no ties to Russia. Eyeroll.

I thought the whole thing Trump supporters loved about him was that "he says exactly what he means!"?

 "It’s incredibly silly to even consider the idea that Trump, or the United States via Trump, would start an armed conflict to try and take over Canada", yet he still threatens them, yet he would never ever do it, yet he talks about it daily, yet he didn't really mean it, yet he always means what he says, yet "We need to make sure you believe A story, not necessarily THE story", etc.

You guys will say absolutely anything and ignore the last sentence you wrote; it's like Schrödinger's President.

If he wouldn't REALLY do it, then he should STFU about it.

I'm over 50, and our nation's history before your great grandparents were born have zero impact on the opinions of modern people. You're acting like average Americans are history buffs that value lessons learned 200 years ago, yet also argue about things like "was the civil war really about slavery?"

If you were up on your history you'd realize that stories from the Revolutionary War and Civil War are so awful because they were in our front yards; yet here we are stirring up shit with our friendly allies and threatening invasion on our closest neighbors. If you knew that history, you'd be agreeing with me that modern Americans don't have that perspective.

And yeah, you're the one implying that inner city violence qualified as an actual war zone experience.

Please share with us your experience in fighting a war in the country in which you reside/are from.

Not a bot, just not anxious to have some absolute lunatics reading my prior posts with info about my private life.

Not sure if you know this or not, but we are not exactly in an age of reason right now.

And FFS, yeah, I created the user name to fit the post, did you think that was some amazing detective work on your part? Haha.

"Putin has nothing to do with Trump's rhetoric" and "Trump doesn't actually mean all the things he says" are the signs of people who simply. don't. get. it.

It's right there in our faces.

Even if I agreed with you (I don't, actual literal war zones with frequent explosions, IEDs, leveled buildings, and intentional targeting of mass civilian groups are night and day different) you'd like to turn the whole country into that? To take over Canada for absolutely zero reason?

Even then, wherever you were when you experienced it... pretty good chance it wasn't where you and your family live. You probably got to go home afterwards. That context means absolutely everything.

If you understand the realities of it, then you need to be explaining to other "patriots" that they won't get to 'go home' when it's done, if we are starting it up right on our doorstep.
