    I can imagine that China would be happier with a superpower with a disarmed citizenry. The day we start taking advice from China will be the beginning of the end.

    I would dismiss this out of hand but must admit the fact that congress could implement new sanctions against Russia, and reduce Trumps powers while Trump just had to fall in line does lend credibility to what you are saying. .... Congress is fighting "forces" of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Trump is fighting Congress... or factions within Congress.
    I am not betting on Trump...he will lose.

    That's what I said. The UN was founded on the principle that peaceful measures are the A to Z of its creation. It is not meant to be a big stick unless it is voted by the members to be the last resort. Now if you break it down by real-time incidents you can see what countries have violated those principles.

    Al Qaida was started specifically because we DID get out you pea brain, dear lord. How dare you use THAT as an example of how you are right.

    After basically helping a bunch of kids defeat the Soviets, we didn't tell them who helped, we didn't help them rebuild their nation, we did noting.

    We just walked away. If we would have stayed ala Marshal plan, South Korea or Japan and helped BUILD n infrastructure, I am willing to bet things would be 10000000 times different.

    Luckily I just happen to know a lot about outboard motors, so if you like I can school you there as well

    The UN has violated its own principles by failing to take "enforcement measures" when such actions were clearly required to restore "peace and security".

    This is the reason I feel it is useless to discuss the subject with you and why you would be better off discussing it with some equally void of knowledge. After all, I'll just introduce you to the facts of the case and you'll just get upset.

    I am unwilling to contribute to any subject I know nothing about. It would be a good idea if you take my philosophy on board and apply it to the previous subject (the first paragraph above) because you don't really want to know much about it anyway.

    No, you are wrong. The UN had made great progress with Sadam Hussein .... without armed force. That is what the UN was created for: Peace by peaceful means. The US broke the law by invading Irak against the UN and its members. Had the US respected the law, and the UN, Irak would have comes to terms with itself without and invasion and the death of a million innocent men, women, and children.

    So that is three posts in a row where you failed to say anything other than a person attack.

    I accept your defeat graciously.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. I think you are just trolling and I've said my last word to you. Have a good day.

    That is now fourth times you have posted something with nothing but a personal attack.

    You are either a paid troll, or a college kid with zero life experience. Either way, I hope you learned something and I agree, good day.

    Lets take a look at the reality of China


    Theres a reason why that crap would never fly in America, and thats because the population is armed. The government works for us, not the other way around.

    So you are saying that the American police are just itching to put you up against the wall for committing crimes but you are able to escape justice because you are armed?

    That's not true. I distinctly remember Kennedy saying, "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country!" Sounds very clear that you are doing what your politicians are telling you to do, rather than a democratic nation whereby the politicians represent the people's wishes.

    Im saying the 2nd amendment was put in place as check to government power. If the American government was executing 3000 people a year without due process of law, our government would be completely replaced.

    Obviously youre not an American, because there is no way an American could be so silly. Kennedy was telling people not to expect the government to do things for you, and you should do it yourself, to benefit the country, instead of being a drag on it.

    I don't know what great progress the UN made with Saddam. He refused to comply with any of the resolutions including 1441 which was supposed to be his last chance. Even then the UNSC would not resort to enforcement b/c Russia and France had rearmed Saddam during the Iran/Iraq war and they wanted him to stay in power so they could get paid back in oil contracts. That is the kind of thing that makes the SC virtually useless.

    No, I am 71, I head him speak. He was paving the way for fascism. He said that people shouln't expect the government to care for its population but that it was the people who should pander to the government. That is anti-Democratic.
    This proves my point. If you had a Democracy the government wouldn't be beating demonstrators with clubs and brandishing Fascist principles.
    Looks to me that you are the silly one. You think it's Democratic being herded from one illegal war to the next one, being beaten with clubs by the police, enduring fake news, corruption in the election system, making up fantasy WMD's in some oil-rich country then invading it and murdering a million innocent men, women, and children, and claiming you need guns against your own government from "executing 3000 people a year". Let me tell you something sweetheart, that's Fascism.

    Saddam complied with the UN insistence that he destroys his weapons. He did that. DONE. He complied with the UN inspection teams terms to inspect all 12 of the sights the US claimed he was caching WMD's. DONE. These things were accomplished by peaceful means orchestrated by the UN. The danger was over and the Iraki government was on its way to preparing for the next step in cleaning up the ruling class. Everything was going according to plan.

    lol omfg

    JFK was a democrat.

    The government doesnt beat peaceful demonstrators

    There wont be any fascism in America, cause we got guns. Hitler was a fascist, and the first thing he did was take away peoples guns. Mao was a communist, he took away peoples guns, and millions were killed. Stalin was a communist, took away peoples guns, made deals with Hilter, and killed millions.

    You should read a history book.

    Guns is what happened. Didn't you see the news?
    Don't be so childish. You don't know what a liberal is, so stop using terms you don't understand.

    Resolution 1441 was necessary because Saddam had not complied with previous resolutions. This is clearly stated in 1441. He didn't comply with that one either.

    It is simply amazing that people who know just about nothing still think it's OK to make comments based upon what they heard "somebody" say. Look at my last response to you. Read what I wrote. Look it up if you care about the subject. Otherwise just keep on repeating the same codswallop.
