The principle that the USA is the police? 100%

American expansion through the continent was just external expansion, ensuring American economic interests

We are the police because we protected our own assets?

@Itcilis the entire war complex post ww2

same as right now, except we just want to keep trade routes open

Vietnam. Desert Storm. Iraqi freedom. Afghan war

And now, Iran drone strikes

It's not white knighting. It's a show of force

And there’s nothing wrong with a show of forces

yup

There is if your goal is just to bare your teeth

Why do we need to

Again. Drone strike to your hearts content

But where's congressional approval?

In the old days, that's war

So no. Not happy with this

Why would he need congressional approval for an immediate threat.

He was actively attacking a US embassy

If the intell is correct, and an imminent attack was planned on Americans, then it was justified

the rocket attacks as well

^

follow on rocket attacks happened yesterday

Me personally. I think we need to dismantle all of these artificial states in the middle east that were set up post WW2

The prime minister of Iraq told trump to leave

And Invited the burnt general to the country

it's a source of major strife in the region

So we are doing things against the host nations interest

Who cares

Guys. We shouldn't even be striking on foreign soil

I DO

because it's going to bite us in the ass

How?

Because China is a fucking massive threat with cyber warfare capabilities that are terrifying

This won't start shit with china

I think we already stated that we believe if helps the nation trying to expand there’s nothing wrong with it

Our cyber infrastructure is worse than any other 1st world nation

We just have bombs upon bombs

But you can't bring to victory

Bomb to victory •

China and Russia have been fucking with us through cyber warfare for a while now

Well I guess we’ll see
