- rayiner 2y agoAnd here I am wondering what happened to you guys. Did I hallucinate Obama ragging on Romney for not realizing the Cold War was over? When did Kissinger and Domino Theory come back in vogue?
- techpineapple 2y agoThis may come as a shock to you, but “us guys” are capable of thinking our leaders may be wrong.
- forgotoldacc 2y agoProbably around the time the largest war in Europe since WW2 began. Your neighbors being actively invaded and the country saying "you're next" on state TV[1] tends to make people think "maybe that country isn't our friend". Saying "I dunno guys. They're killing people and saying they'll kill us next, but maybe we should wait to find out" is not a very smart strategy.

- rayiner 2y agoBy that logic you could justify American involvement in the first gulf war by saying it was “the largest war in the middle east since WW2” or Vietnam as “the largest war in Asia since WW2.” The logic of opposing american interventionism never rested on the fact that there wasn’t a conflict happening.
- forgotoldacc 2y agoPeople kind of universally agree that the US meddling in the middle east and Vietnam was/is awful.
- ceejayoz 2y ago> Did I hallucinate Obama ragging on Romney for not realizing the Cold War was over? You did not; in hindsight, Romney now looks very prescient on this particular point.
