Maybe We Should Go to War

Maybe it is time to go to war.  Putin “the bully” has invaded Ukraine and is randomly killing innocent civilians.  China is salivating over the prospect of consuming Taiwan like a slimy, fat snake eyeballing a tiny white mouse. Korea is flinging rockets around like a 4 year old toddler and Iran, with the moronic help of Biden, is creeping closer to developing a nuclear weapon.

Now that I have your attention, I propose that we go to war………but not with Russia, China, Korea or even Iran.  We would be fighting the wrong enemy.

WWII ended in 1945.  The United States, through the Marshall Plan, helped rehabilitate the economies of 17 western and southern European countries devastated by war to help them to survive and to prosper.

In 1950, the Koreans asked for our help.  In 1959, Vietnam asked for our help.  In 1990 we fought the Gulf War.  In 2001 we marched into Afghanistan and stayed for twenty years. In 2003 we fought the Iraq war.

For 77 years, from 1945 until 2022, the United States has willingly provided requested assistance to desperate countries around the globe.  Now the world takes us for granted and mocks us for not solving their problems. Countries burn our flag, stomp their feet and demand, “What have you done for us lately?” Maybe it’s time for the US to stop enabling the world from continuing their destructive patterns of behavior.

We have paid a terrible price for policing the world for almost 80 years:
