Make up your minds…
Half of who?
There are a lot of world views out there. We're a nation of 350m~. I'm not sure who you're trying to group me in with.
Trump's going against his own campaign promises of no new wars, no regime change, no being global police. That's not a huge surprise to me, I voted for him in his first term, and was unhappy with his flop on fiscal responsibility. That's been my biggest voting issue. It's why Ron Paul is the only candidate I fully supported, and why Trump was the only R or D I've ever given my vote to for president as a gamble.
That was all for show to win votes. We're seeing where his real loyalty lies, and it's not with the populace who have consistently voted for candidates who claimed to be anti war after Bush. It's to the donor class who are very selective about the countries they care about.
Because at the end of the day, drugs, dictatorships... that's not enough to compel the US into war. We support governments who are engaged in drugs and or are dictatorships. There are brutal countries out there who commit massacres. Doesn't even make it into the news unless you really dig.
There's only interest if they can sell it to the American people to fund it so they can cash out. You and I won't see any of the "spoils of war", we will just foot the bill.
