Trump and Netanyahu War

Doesn't matter what party the president is, they have to do war stuff. Left or right, we will be involved in the middle east every presidential term.

Help me understand why we have to get in a war with middle east countries?

Same reason the government does most of the stuff it does. Money. For them, not for us. Politicians and big-corp get to make a lot of money off this, at a cost of American lives and our tax-dollars.

Are you trying to say that USA presidents should be able to do whatever they want?

I'm a bit confused how that was a takeaway from what I said. But no I do not think that.

It would be cool if a President ran on doing no executive orders.

Term limits for congress and no executive orders for presidents would be a good start.

But congress is absolutely useless. Would be a weird 4 years. Nothing would get done.

US Interests. What people don't seem to understand is the US is a world hegemonic power (and there can be only one) and has been since 1945. With that comes some baggage.

China has been for the last Decade easy.

I'm not sure Nonniey and Lindsey Graham aren't the same person.

Well as I detest Trump, I think you can be sure we're not the same person (We likely do view the US's role in the world similarly).

Not yet, Trump is working on it though.
