there must be something pressing discovered by intelligence. first the move on Venezuala and now a move on Greenland. China and Russia are working together on something we are unaware of. They had 4 years of distraction and payoffs to our government. No telling what they’ve cooked up.
I would prefer more attention stateside than all this bombastic behavior however, I trust Donald Trump to protect our national security. There is something more.

I would rather buy it than invade it. I think invasion threat is only being used as a hard core negotiation tactic. There is much more here at play for national security than most people are aware of.

I think this is part of taking care of America and I agree with what you are saying. In the past we spent too much on foreign lands with nothing to show for it. He has such a small window of time and so much opposition that he will never achieve the greatness for us he could have. Trump would have done so much with great support instead of the death by a thousand small cuts his opposition has delivered to him.

A question that has been rolling around in my mind as I read the reports (don’t watch TV news) of the rioting and demonstrations around the country: Is it possible that these people see themselves as the same as the revolution in Iran?

I hope those in Iran are as safe as possible, but Iran government has a tendency to just go around and shoot everyone.

I think we forget the nature of violent oppression that The Founding Father’s suffered.
An absolute Monarchy coupled with an constitution of England
‘…so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies; some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine…’
made redress impossible and life intolerable.
The quartering of troops must have been the very worst part of all, no peace, no privacy, the fruits of your labor divided by whim on threat of deadly force in the privacy of your own home.
Divide your table, your larder, your rooms, your fire, your beds, everything.
Imagine having a beautiful daughter, or several, as My Best Girl and I do.
What outrages they must have suffered…
I’m surprised the 3rd Amendment wasn’t the 1st.
‘The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.
Many circumstances have, and will arise, which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all lovers of mankind are affected, and in the event of which their affections are interested.
The laying a country desolate with fire and sword, declaring war against the natural rights of all mankind, and extirpating the defenders thereof from the face of the earth, is the concern of every man to whom nature hath given the power of feeling; of which class, regardless of party censure.’

That is part of what we are experiencing I believe. Hopefully we can wake enough of the young before it is too late. The world is in a dangerous place now, much worse than the Cold War when we were young. Fittest can mean many different things so you can overcome greater physical numbers if your weapons are powerful enough and you are willing to use them. Weapons doesn’t have to mean of war, but can be education and proper awareness of the potential future problems and their solutions.
