[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4228532, member: 63706"] I don't have a problem throwing around economic clout. And I don't rationalize American Imperialism, that's kinda the point. But I do have a problem with people who are willing to sacrifice the lives of others haphazardly, for no better reason than to shave a few cents off their consumer goods. The reasons politicians want to go to war are not the same reasons that the people who join the military are willing to risk their lives. That is where the disconnect is, and that is what I object to. You think it is perfectly acceptable to put other people's lives on the line to maintain your standard of living. You pretend to be ok with that, so who am I to free you from your denial? The powers that be leading up to both world wars had their reasons for wanting to go to war. They at least had the understanding that they needed a reason for the American people to go along with it. In the case of the first world war, it was a false flag, but it was all that was needed to get the people on board. In the case of Pearl Harbor, there was no justifiable reason to let the troops be blindsided. Even if we were prepared for the attack, and beat the crap out of the Japanese with few casualties on our side it would have been enough to gain popular support. And I don't know what grade school you went to that gave you that idea about the revolutionary war... I don't know, it seems a little like you are making incorrect assumptions about my views, and I don't know what they are to be able to effectively correct them. I'm done with this tangent. Back on topic, Trump won't be resigning, even if he is successfully impeached. [/QUOTE]
