The massacres in Yemen still go on. HAMAS still fires rockets at Israel. Iraq, Libya and Syria are in a state of civil war and dysfunction, with one military force battling against another, both claiming to be the legitimate government. I would say that the disasters continue. Not sure about Ukraine and Venezuala... I would suggest that you "wait and see". So, that list of wars ? Well, the BIG ones are Afghanistan, Mexico, Syria and Lebanon. There are also Somalia, Nigeria, Iraq, South Sudan and Libya. You can read a list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts#Major_wars_(10,000_or_more_deaths_in_current_or_past_year) I'd hardly call that 'fake news', @hacktorp. The shutdown of the Western-backed terrorist/mercenary armies of Al Qaeda and ISIS have halted attempts to re-draw the map in Syria and Iraq. Afghanistan is in peace negotiations. Regime-change in Venezuela has been thwarted. Libya continues to be a mess since your hero Obama utterly destroyed the country. Iran is being freed from warmongering foreign influence and will come to the table. Your characterization of localized skirmishes as "disasters continue" is dishonest and quite revealing. The greatest fear of Leftist/Crypto-Leftist extremists is that Trump succeeds at bringing the US and the world back from the brink of world war...which he has already done. And, clearly, this is your fear as well. Claiming you are "a conservative" while pushing false, anti-peace, globalist narratives exposes you as a fake..."@RoofGardener" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't know anything about that, I watch the democratic convention and can figure out whether the democrats plan on winning or not. Anyone who pays attention can do that. The first convention I watched in 1973 was the first one televised and they did not have cameras with sound so often when the arguments started about McGovern the sound was turn off but the cameras kept rolling. When they pick/use a noboby like McGovern or Dukakis or they choose the hated canidate over the loved one they don't plan to win. As long as independents don't get to vote in the primaries the voting is fixed. And it can't be bull like Texas does where what ever primary you vote in becomes your registered affiliation. The primaries should be open to all and not separate based on party. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is now coming to an end as the US President seeks to with-store the balance. People have been waiting 30 years for the liberal-lefty, PC pro-immigration, pro-everything except the normal average nuclear family, to come to an end. That end is now in sight as the USA has a leader who doesnt care what names people call him, or how much they try to character assassinate him, or how much they cry about it. Go Trump! America First! If he doesn't care what names people call him why is always on the attack in tweets over every little imagined slight to his name? Delusion should be what our politics is called because both extremes are totally deluded and it makes it really hard for the moderates to get anything done. It is so easy to manipulate people emotionally so that they turn their logical brains off and go off half cocked spouting emotional diatribes that make no sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great avatar, btw. Quote "Concurrently British historian Christopher Hibbert described Marion as "... very active in the persecution of the Cherokee Indians and not at all the sort of chap who should be celebrated as a hero. The truth is that people like Marion committed atrocities as bad, if not worse, than those perpetrated by the British" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Marion And you call others "racist".

And these "local skirmishes" - as you characterise them - are killing tens of thousands of people. That constitutes a significant war to me.

The light bulb finally comes on. President Trump only pretended to back regime change so it would look like he wasn't in Putin's back pocket. Then after he strutted and crowed for the cameras, Putin gave him the nod and he forgot all about it. Vlad's boy Don.

Well, if you're talking the 1960's, then... wherever the Soviets where, so was the USA (albeit possibly clandestinely). I was just pointing out that Britain's involvement in the dismal 'country' of Afghanistan goes back to 1939. We got our asses handed to us THEN, as well ! Every nation that has invaded Afghanistan has ended up being kicked out. Look at the CURRENT situation. We went in nominally to get Osama, but whilst there we vowed to kick out the Taliban-led government and install a democracy. And guess what ? In 2019 we are in 'peace' negotiations with...
