Batya, like many MAGA, has an extremely limited view of American and European history - likely based on their upbringing in hollowed out flyover country. For example, she shouldn't conflate post-WWII cold war policy with the economic decline of our industrial base. I'm old enough to remember when Japan was kicking our butts in the 70s and 80s - the exporting of industry had more to do with the rise of unions and the desire of companies to find cheap labor. BTW, if you want to blame wasteful foreign policies, then the answer begins with GWBush who made the wrong call after 9/11 that his dad never would've that embroiled US in the middle east for a generation. Then Obama continued the failed nation building experiments while China grew in economic strength.
Brianna and Chris were more spot on with their historical perspectives particularly when it comes to tyrants - Reagan, GHW Bush and Clinton understood this perspective quite clearly - protect western democratic regimes at all costs. Regarding Russia - yes it's a border dispute but to them that border extends through Ukraine and Poland and the Baltics. Russia is the most paranoid nation on Earth and has a right to be since they've been invaded from the West and East over and over again. However that doesn't give them the right to trapse through Ukraine.
In the end, Trump doesn't believe in this paradigm because he's a transactional business person - no moral high ground, just this deal. So what exactly is Trump's view beyond the art of the deal? Here, Congress is basically giving him carte blanche to do whatever he wants with any amount of $ that comes with it. That's much scarier than anything else because appeasement is weakness to strongmen - that's a simple fact. Too bad the Europeans have only just awakened. Maybe that's the best news in all of this
Its so wild for me to watch the right turn into the left so fast after tasting even a touch of power. Its like y'all learned nothing about how they fell from power so hard and so fast and are hellbent on recreating it for yourselves.

You seem to have a limited understanding of MAGA, likely from having lived so long in the hollowed out area between your buttocks. LOL

You mean with the butt joke? I just thought it was funny.
