Endless wars are not about not surrendering to evil. The fact that we never win/end the wars proves that they are started for other reasons. We are fully capable of winning these wars. But we rarely do.

If those people are truly concerned with not surrendering to evil. Then they should be demanding the States declare war on Washington DC. We are a union of individual states who have been overrun by the Federal government. That’s the true evil.

Re: “I don't see how we could have 'stayed out' of the Civil War - unless one has no problem with dividing the country in two.”
Do you think that if Italy tells the world that it wants out of NATO, we should declare war on it and kill a lot of people to keep it in? That's the impression your statement gives me. Is that what good people do?

The Civil War was fought because the South had been PICKED ON by a bullying, dominant North for years. They were sick and tired of it and wanted out.

It's my opinion that when the United States is doing such a poor, unfair, destructive job of running the country that numerous states want to leave, they should be allowed to leave and not be told that "If you try to, we will invade and kill you." So, you're right. I have "no problem with dividing the country in two." I think the states which joined voluntarily should be remaining VOLUNTARILY... because they actually like being here.

You see it differently. I understand. Most people see it the way you do. I bet even ribit - whose relatives were bullied and impoverished by the North, who then fought, died and ultimately failed to end Northern tyranny - sees it like you do. To me, your perspectives make no sense at all, but I guess they do to you.

Or have you just not thought it through?
Re: “Surrender to the forces of communism?”Following World War II, we were primed to take down the U.S.S.R. Patton wanted to do so. We certainly could have -- easily. Instead, we handed them East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. So I'd say there's a pretty good precedent for surrendering to the forces of Communism, even without a fight - so long as we're surrendering things that weren't ours in the first place.

As we eventually saw, we were able to defeat the forces of Communism - at least in Russia - without killing a generation of our boys and a tremendous number of foreign civilians. That's the approach we should have employed, both then and now. We SAW how to handle situations where bullying nations take over victim nations, but we apparently didn't learn - since we're right back to our old, stupid, expensive, losing ways.

Donald Trump correctly noted that forcing Russia - the world's energy giant - to join forces with China - the world's population and economic giant - is a colossally stupid move. If the war expands beyond Ukraine, the west will lose. Is it intelligent to destroy ourselves over Ukraine? It isn't even our ally.
