Russia cares little for anything but power. It doesn't care of Europe's muslim trouble. When Russia decides to take back the old Soviet bloc, it won't be for anything other than power and self interest.

Again, fortunately the greatest generation didn't share this thought.

Actually that greatest generation was for locking Japanese-Americans into internment camps.

And no, had we stayed out of WW2 we would not be speaking German. That is a common misconception. Hitler was a crazy but he was not seeking world domination. And the Russian Empire was not any more murderous than any of the other empires we allied ourselves with like Britain.

WW2 was a complete waste of men and resources and was designed to preserve and even spread communism. We were suckered into getting involved in both world wars.

:)

He might have been. Some folks are just extra helpful. However, it's been my experience that people in general are far more willing to help a "damsel in distress" than a dude looking for toothpaste. lol

BTW, Gary Johnson is having a great time this week during the DNC. I am sure the Bernie people will look his way.

Hey, I'm a Berniecrat! LOL

I think those who are allowing themselves to become disillusioned and vote for Gary Johnson are voting against the revolution they desired to see. In my opinion, this is due to political inexperience. I look at it this way.... Bernie Sanders wanted to push forward with a progressive political revolution at full speed.... while Hillary Clinton is moving the same direction, only at a law abiding 55 mph. lol

Isolationism only help men like Hitler increase their power and influence until they have to be confronted.

Probably the most corrupt person in modern politics, along with Hillary, but still, a brilliant politician.

Every politician is corrupt to some degree.... except one. Bernie Sanders. LOL! ;)

Oh, there's no doubt Bill has (or had) stage presence. Hillary? Not so much. Although she does project "power" which resonates with some people.

I think a Trump/Hillary debate will be worth the popcorn.

I agree. I do think Hillary will be far harder on Putin than his "bro-mance" buddy Trump.

Bill's issues are probably from all the coke.

You know, theirs was a generation of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. I wouldn't be surprised.

Staying out of unnecessary wars is not "isolationism". It's good sense. You are probably basing your statement on some of the mythology surrounding that era. I used to do that, as well.

Not everything they did was right.

I believe the Soviet Union, from Lenin to Stalin, killed over 20 million people.

Tell that to those who remember the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

I'm starting to realize that those who want to justify Trump's foreign policy vision don't remember their history.
