The irony of your reply is that the only modern president to purposely disengage us from Bush and Obama's entrenched wars was Donald, most notably in Syria and Afghanistan. Obama even started calling US soldiers 'advisors' so he could keep tens of thousands deployed in Iraq and still pretend the war was over.
But you're just going to ignore that and pretend that, sure, Democrats are the rational ones when it comes to US wars.
I'm apt to generally not trust the party that spews disinformation, flawed economic policy, erosion of civil rights, and anti science pro religion. I'm not apt to trust the party or candidate that lies intentionally far more often and used voter purging to cheat in the 2024 election, the one with a playbook straight from 1930s Germany.
But sure, pretend that Republicans are generally better because of a few, hyper specific, cherry picked ideas relating only to US foreign military policy. For a limited time span. By your logic all non NATO members should be annexed by Israel and Russia tomorrow to avoid any further hassle.
You were inviting a rational, historical rebuttal by posting nonsense in the first place.
Actually your comment is vague nonsense and convincing no one. I've never seen so many words have absolutely no content.
