Trump: America Occupies Countries

[Red Knight]

2. She's a bit off here

I don't know how she defines "occupation" but you can go back to Japan to find occupation. Or even Germany with the allied occupation. In more modern times--which she didn't mention you have Iraq and Afghanistan.

I can't stand Trump and he's wrong on nearly everything. But I do think the left gets into trouble when it tries to re-write history. Let the right do that garbage. When you go in and knock out a government you will either occupy or let anarchy reign until someone takes control. This is why going to war in the first place has to be considered very carefully and not recklessly. Even if you win--there are consequences afterward.

Let's not do what the Republicans do and pretend that American never screws up. As a human, if I never admit to mistakes how can I avoid them the next time? The country is no different. As I said, these are not always easy choices. Sometimes occupation may even be the best choice--if only for a time. But once you're in.....

Best bet: avoid unnecessary wars: Iraq. The horrible stuff arising from that awful decision will be here for a long long time.
