- techblueberry 1y agoIs the lesson that the Trump administration learned from all the failed wars of the past 50 hears, that there was not enough hubris involved? It will be very wild, when 20 years from now, there will be a new Republican charismatic leader talking about the CIA's illegal attempts to overthrow Governments in South America, and that we need a new America First leader who isn't just interested in conquest like those damn Democrats.
- Fade_Dance 1y agoHesgeth is quite radical and arguably unhinged, even among peers in the administration (which is saying something). I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to come from the Department of War acting abroad extrajudicially.
- mrguyorama 1y ago>Is the lesson that the Trump administration learned from all the failed wars of the past 50 hears The lesson they learned was that if you put a (R) next to your name, you will never face repercussions. Bush Jr lied about weapons of mass destruction and perpetrated illegal wars that seriously harmed our economy, and he got re-elected for it Donald Trump negotiated with the taliban to promise them we would leave Afghanistan on a stupid schedule, and Biden took the blame. Democrats are the ones called warmongers.

A complete ridiculous one man circus of irresponsive reckless bone headed violence. (Tough time to try to put in a strong warhawk act, when Netinyahu is over there being such a yahoo about it!)
