This is a terrible idea. </quote> Yeah and what you said doesn't sound like winning, let alone winning easily. I don't see how the US can "win" against Iran other than the "if they lined up and shot each other" hypothetical We can only lose . Trump himself used to preach this</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Moved majority of our Soldiers out after the sunk cost of life happened. If we stayed in kept being the mediators between the groups. Iraq would be better off. Isis wouldn't of took off like it did. This is the peoples fault. You can't throw money at a problem like this. You have stabilize a area with presence. We really need to stop these wars. They aren't helping anyone but the rich and the American people keep voting in these warmongers. <cite>Abiz_ posted [p:932515325] in Can the US...
