POTD, many here should read and reflect upon - 90Tiger STL - 1/3 11:21:54

If highly inaccurate - Spanky KU - 1/3 11:43:45

that’s nice - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:50:00

he didn't say it started with Wilson (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 1/3 11:48:32

He kinda did..... - Spanky KU - 1/3 12:16:29

no - pickle MU

- 1/3 13:13:24

so, what does justify intervention?(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/3 11:24:40

but the point of that post, and the value, is the point - 90Tiger STL - 1/3 11:31:10

From the Constitution: - 90Tiger STL - 1/3 11:28:54

in short, intervention is justified when the US is attacked - 90Tiger STL - 1/3 11:29:27

so we have to wait to be hit to hit back? - blake1771 MU - 1/3 11:56:09

That logic allows for constant war - ashtray UF - 1/3 12:00:46

i agree that we have made enemies through meddling but - blake1771 MU - 1/3 12:06:37

Yes we have, because "preemptive strikes" - ashtray UF - 1/3 12:34:56

So you have three choices - meatiger MU - 1/3 12:17:23

When has the US ever been attacked unprovoked - pickle MU

- 1/3 12:11:27

why would the US be attacked? (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:57:14

so the US is simply a geographic location on a map - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/3 11:49:41

Yes, with imaginary lines we call borders - ashtray UF - 1/3 11:54:14

What borders? - Tigrrrr! MU

- 1/3 11:50:35

Nothing. But also, if the Constitution means anything to - ummmm MU - 1/3 11:28:10

pre-emptive striking - meatiger MU - 1/3 11:27:27

lol wut? - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 1/3 11:31:01

you should have a strong set of assets to defend yourself - meatiger MU - 1/3 11:46:30

Our embassy was already attacked. - Tigrrrr! MU

- 1/3 11:32:57

Was the embassy due to protesting that got out of hand? - Freeglider USA - 1/3 11:43:33

Or a precursor to a more detailed and planned organized - Tigrrrr! MU

- 1/3 11:47:37

Oh lord. The war drums beat on. (nm) - ummmm MU - 1/3 11:35:19

It is a self fulfilling prophecy - meatiger MU - 1/3 11:48:18

you know he’s incapable of thought (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:36:52

So we can't defend our embassy?(nm) - Tigrrrr! MU

- 1/3 11:38:41

Shouldn't have to - ashtray UF - 1/3 11:52:17

that’s incorrect. Embassies are not the same as foreign soil - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:35:17

And that dude orchestrated the deaths of hundreds - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 1/3 11:34:15

where were these US troops? (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:37:18

Not in Iran(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 1/3 11:38:47

where were they? (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:39:17

Not in Iran, damn b*tch can't you read?(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 1/3 11:39:35

Not in America, either (nm) - ashtray UF - 1/3 11:53:12

i asked where they were, not where they were not (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:42:11

Yeah, that's how war works - ashtray UF - 1/3 11:36:39

by a government? nothing (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/3 11:26:08

Then who can intervene? Individuals? (nm) - mizzouSECedes STL - 1/3 11:35:05
