I’m mostly an isolationist by nature, but I recognize that that isn’t always an option. When it isn’t an option, I’m American lives first in any scenario. Strategic strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites is something I can easily justify/support. If it morphs into some outside regime change/nation building bullschitt like anywhere else in the Middle East where we’ve failed fantastically, then I don’t support it in the least because Americans will die for a culture that mostly hates them anyhow. If we had been willing to actually fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan correctly, instead of politically correct, so many American lives could’ve been saved. IDGAF about how many more Iraqi or Afghani lives would’ve been lost.
That last point was irrelevant to your post but it really bothers me.
