    Well there is always some reason to do some good. That's the problem with you guys. You always looking for the payout, what's in it for me.

    After WWll we pretty much rebuilt Europe and Japan. What did we get out of that? I guess around 80 years or so of world order and no world wars. Like I've said before, you treat your vanquished enemy like dirt and all they can think about is revenge. That's why we got WWll after WWl.

    As far as what ifs go I guess it is preferred to a head of state who lies out his eye teeth at the drop of a hat.

Turns out that the agreement that was finally signed was similar to EU agreements and did not contain a payback clause for previously given aid. I have no objections to what was finally signed as it is in line with EU agreements.

    Similar to other countries, we have given what we can. You are free to lookup the actual amount given and if there are any payback clauses.

    You donated 2% of the total I already told you that, Again you have no cards to be talking about what the USA should do until Canada steps up

    WE ??? We didn't do any such thing, you keep repeating yourself and recalling failed policies of the past

    Sorry you feel that way to bad so sad but Trump did not get the US into this war,, Obama and Biden did Trump is getting us OUT and getting our money back or at least a shot at it

    What do you propose, sit back keep throwing more money at it AGAIN ??? What a joke..

    No, the problem with you guys is you're not honest about your motives.
    Yes we rebuilt Europe and Japan. Yes it was the right thing to do. And yes we got our money back. There's nothing wrong with admitting your motives. Unlike FDR who lied to the Americsn people about our involvement we didn't want. Then just happened to be looking the other way when an attack was eminent. God bless Harry Truman, probably the last conservative democrat, for having the stones to finish the job. History indeed repeats itself. Libs got us into Vietnam under false pretenses then lied about their reasons for keeping us there then it took Nixon to get us out. Once again, libs create problems, the grown ups have to come along and fix.it.

    Ay caramba. Talk about dredging up old conspiracy theories. Yes the U.S had broken the Japanese Code and knew an attack was imminent but the Japanese weren't that dumb. They left out certain particulars in their communications so we didn't know where the attack was going to be. There were several possible targets.

    Bringing up Tricky Dick eh? That's fitting considering he should fit right in with our current fearless leader. Yea Nixon got us out of the war with HONOR. I remember coming home and being smart enough not to wear the uniform cause those that did were ridiculed and worse.

    Well you can't make chicken salad out of chicken manure. If you can't finish it don't start it. We should never have benn in it if we weren't going to win. And as far as conspiracies, it's funny how when your side says it it it's the gospel when the other side says it it's a conspiracy.

    Since Jan 2009 Conspiracy Theories were changed to "Spoiler Alerts" do you seriously want to go there ???

    We have lists of them that were proved true, or as the Social Media Meme says "I think you need another shot your last one wore off"

    I have noted that "You Guys" have offered no solution other than "Keep the money flowing and keep the war going" you would almost think that there is an advantage to doing so for the Leftist Global Cabal oh wait is that a Conspiracy Theory too ??



    Just thought of the FACT that is was your fellow lefty communist loving College Students doing the ridiculing or worse.. Guess you forgot that part eh

    Also remember when Biden got us out of Afghanistan ??? With Honor
    If you guys didn't have double standards you would have no standards
    I can do this all day

    What aboutism is easier for us on the right than you on the left,, we have way more hypocrisy to use against you

    You guys seem to forget trump negotiated the pull out and to a great extent Biden's hands were tied. I agree he screwed it up but had he been able to undo the massive Trump screwup things might have turned out better.
