Today there are several continental powers with intact economies. Most are not trying to be superpowers, with the ability to fight a war anywhere. Then there is the pro military anti local prejudice of the US red culture. During the Cold War we were allowed to be imperialistic to some extent. Not today, as Bush 43 learned to his dismay.Doesn't compute or make sense in any way. Hint. You don't invade with undersized army if your goal was to seize oil fields and assume control. Bush eliminated the largest and most capable Sunni army that existed at the time. Cut and run LOST. Obama didn't run on cut and run. Obama didn't even mention to the American people that he intended to cut and on. How did that work out for you and the Democrats Bob? Where did the old blue dog Democrats voters go? Trump? Does Hilary represent the last of the blue dogs?
