List of wars involving the United States

 Consider this a homework assignment for the class.

Many are TRYING (but failing in my opinion) to claim that because I want to avoid involvement in the Ukraine situation, want the Europeans to decide the issue themselves (bigger economy, higher standard of living, better infrastructure, lower crime but lower defense spending) and grow a pair and man up, that somehow I'm wrong.

No.

Those that believe that are wrong.

The US is overstretched.  We no longer have the forces to defend every nation on the planet.  We should avoid becoming involved in every fight, everywhere.

But freedom they cry.

If you believe that our foreign adventures have anything to do with freedom then you are a fool!

It's money.  It's influence.  It's flagging power.  We're wasting it all. The natives have caught on and instead of our adventures being a net positive they've tilted over to being a net negative.

But even better go HERE and check out our history of warfare.

We've been at it continuously for over 200 years.  Think about that. In the grand scheme of things America is a YOUNG country but we've been involved in more combat than most of the world for a longer period of time.

Something needs to change.  Oh and one last thing.  When every news network both left and right start singing the same tune then you know you're about to get screwed.  

Dare to think.  Dare to critique.  Dare to analyze. You won't like what you see but you'll be better for it.
