You have a very dangerous viewpoint.

Huh?
Do you mind explaining how? What I am advocating is that we actually HAVE a strategy to protect our national interest... Not the reckless dribble
peddled by this current administration.

If indeed you are American, as the tone of your post suggests, you are a sad member of this country. I don't say that in a malicious way, I say that
in a very serious way.

Thank you for the personal attack- however couched.

Again, mind explaining how I'm a "sad member of this country"?
What I think is sad is the fact that we have NO sound strategy to secure the peace or to protect our national interests.

that goes wrong everywhere.

Anyway, the point is there is a whole world to go explore if you do not support and sacrifice for your own country.

So by your logic, it's UN-American to suggest we actually do something to protect our national interest...it's Un-American to demand accountability
of this administration's failed policies...it's Un-American to expect our nation to provide very real leadership in the world?
If your view represents the majority thinking in this country, then I'm just peeing in the wind, aren't I?
This country is so hosed, it's unbelievable...

No, what I find
"such a strong anti-US viewpoint" is the one that refuses to acknowledge the disastrous course we have placed ourselves
upon...the one that refuses to hold our leadership accountable for their incompetence...the one that thinks to do so is an attack upon our nation,
rather than just
an attack upon the stupidity of a few men in power.
Are these people your gods? ...kings? ...or are they just men, elected by a populous who expects them to uphold their fiduciary duty to the country to
protect and defend our national interests and way of life?
In my America, we FIRE people for their incompetence...not make excuses for them while the rest of us pay the dire consequences.
