25. Well, it looks like we have found the opportunity for another war

I knew it wouldn't last long - it is just not us to pursue peace. We are always looking for an excuse or a proxy partner to exercise our military might.

You could see it coming a mile away. It is embedded in American foreign policy. In this instance, Trump canceling the Obama Nuke deal with Iran opened the door, then Biden for fear of looking weak failed to put it back in place, so now it is the excuse we need to go for it..... Hooah, Oorah, and Hooyah.

I mean, we did so well the last three times we beat our chest.... Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.

WTF?
