OUR nation is not going to crumble becuase we don't have these sleepers at the wheel.

I will just respond to the Afghan comment.
We have been meddling in the middle east since the 50's. We started a proxy war between iraq and iran that got hundreds of thousands killed. We backed Sadaam.
We helped afganis kick out the Russians only to abandon them....which gave rise to OBL. Who was a CIA operative.
Clinton was offered OBL's head. He turned it down.
The preceeding is just a couple reasons why I an so against our ME policy.

Once the plans for the 9/11 attack must have become clear to the CIA, why didn’t the agency prevent it from taking place? Duffy and Nowosielski come to the simple, shocking conclusion that because the CIA is prohibited from operating on U.S. soil, those involved in the operation chose to avoid prosecution rather than come clean.

Biden is a traitor of the American people. To think I liked the guy because he got drunk quite often and acted sort of like my old time friends. Friends I would never recommend as candidates for the office of president or vice president of the country.

He says our trade policies are self-defeating 😆
The complete opposite of the truth as our economy and unemployment rate prove.
Who's team do you play for Joe??

He wants to be the next apologizer in chief; working up his road show routine already.
If the inhabitants of Euro-Disney are pissed off at us, so much the better. It means we're probably doing something right.
The only thing that has slowed Putin's roll is historically low petroleum prices---due to American innovation in the form of Fracking. The vast bulk of Russian govts operating receipts come not from taxes, but directly from Gazprom's natural gas and oil sales--- mostly to Germany and the Netherlands.
By buying Russian juice, the kraut-eaters are selling their souls to the people who are producing the tanks to roll over the EU border a couple of years from now. Trump wasn't threatening them when he told them to pay for their own defense, he was giving them friendly advice. When they hand a chunk of their nations' GDPs to Vladimir Putin, they are bankrolling the military machine he is building to annex them.
Merkel thinks she's the snot for telling off America. Well la-dee-freaking dah.
Trump is setting us free not to be Europe's bitch. They can bomb Serbia themselves when they want it done next time.
Funny how you don't hear snot about Norway from the Leftnews. That's because they've got Russian subs parked in their harbors and Russian bombers flying over their shopping districts. Norway likes America just fine. In fact, they have several thousand US troops partying there, learning to fight in the snow....
So Merkel and the Kid-toucher Joe Biden can have a make-out sesh all they want to. The only one watching is Uncle Vlad.
“Now there’s a lot more openly displayed anger about the fact that the relationship is broken,” Bremmer said. “The Trump administration doesn’t understand that it’s not just about how much people pay. It’s about a relationship, trust, how you communicate, shared values. That all matters.”
Merkel devoted much of her speech to an item-by-item rundown of areas where the U.S. and Europe disagree, seeking to refute the Trump administration position on each one. She appeared particularly aggrieved by U.S. threats to raise tariffs on German cars — justified on the grounds that they endanger U.S. national security.
