reading your articles feels like someone is eloquently organizing all my thoughts and views into the most reasonable package…I send these to those who I’ve ranted to just so they can hear what I was actually trying to say. Thank you!
Where did you get your fatality/injury numbers from? I know you cited a couple but I can’t seem to locate the articles. I also would lament why the lack of patriotism? How does any of this affect you personally? The Middle East has been at war since the beginning of time and since everyone now has an opinion that Palestinians are being wiped out. Nobody in the Middle East wishes to give them any cover. Egypt closed their border. The Jordanians don’t want them either. Through history they have done nothing but foment terrorism everywhere they have gone. They in fact have been nomadic historically. They finally get their own country and what do they do? Elect Hamas to govern its country then run around the Middle East terrorizing all border countries. Maybe now they will learn to keep the peace. Iran too. I’ll even say the US owes them this since 1979 when they took our hostages. Instead of them Sabre rattling maybe now they can become a productive member in the Middle East and their people can stop living in the 20th century. Quite possibly they even uprise and change the regime.
handwringing about "lack of patriotism" followed by a nice compilation of the cringiest western jingo takes on west asia ever deployed - you aren't really looking for patriotism, what you're lamenting is a lack of sycophancy
Why do you think this only occurs on one side of the aisle? As if Obama did not increase the wars. Please stop thinking this is a red and blue issue and it is just a human rights issue. I’m disappointed that we go back to bombing countries that we have no business bombing but this is not a Trump vs, blue issue. This has increased with every president since Bush. You sound stupid or else are pandering to your blue readers. I can’t believe that an ER doctor who is supposedly egalitarian can post this drivel. Please do better and realize that over 50 % of the country doesn’t believe in your views even though most of the people you see may
You came to this ass-backwards conclusion, how? No where in this article is it framed as Trump vs blue... he mentions Obama doing the same thing and that is seems the "the show never seems to end".
It's Trump who's doing it now, so that's who you have to write about if you are against it. And I don't buy for a second that "over 50% of the country" doesn't believe this is bad. You yourself admit "disappointment" and plenty of Trump's most ardent supporters are openly saying the same thing:
This is bad, not what he ran on, and it does nothing good for America while doing plenty of horror to others in the world.
==> "Obama also infamously became the first U.S. president to order the extrajudicial killing of an American citizen, who was then abroad in Yemen. There was no court ruling. Just a presidential kill order. That the killing was carried out by an unmanned drone just added to the dystopian creepiness. So did the fact that a second CIA drone strike two week’s later killed the man’s 16-year-old American son. ...Yet instead of ending the madness, Obama normalized it. He was not only the first to assert the power of a king with his order to kill a U.S. citizen; <==
To give credit where it's due, Obama's non-nobel prize winning successor Mr Trump - in one of his first acts of being Presidential, used a daring commando raid to kill the above US Citizen's 8 yo daughter - also US Citizen and the sister of the 16-yo son referred to above, who suffered for 2 hours, before she died. The kids grandfather then tried to get justice in US courts and was rebuffed.
Love your pedantic sarcasm. Anything anti-Trump is always an easy sell. Not to defend him( I’ve detested him since late 80s. I know before you were born, then became an ER WIZ- btw did u ever prescribe Ivermectin? Asking for a friend)
All kidding aside-what’s your alternative to Trump? Old SloJoe? Heels Up? The Dems appointed candidate.
If your response is you hate them both( Jerry said “ picking the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil”) then why the smarmy sarcasm? Face it you’re at best a Millennial puke n maybe a Gen Z Mommas baby. Save the world during the day, shit post at night.
If ya think that Trump is the Red Headed Hitler AND believe the neocons are somehow better, then keep on shit posting.
his shit posting is far superior than this lame ass "I definitely don't love trump and muh, you're a wet behind the ears puke and I will yell at the cloud of sarcasm about the guy you equated to hitler who I promise I don't love!"- you might want to hit a little more ivermectin, your nematodes are having a flareup

This is the best thing you've written (of the articles I've read so far)

I don’t think he read it very far. This is why my wife keeps telling me to make the articles shorter.
"You sound stupid" holy fucking irony, go read it again (or for the first time, as the case may be)
Excellent. I wish another Matt, a friend of yours I think, had the wherewithal to write something like this.
I feel bad for the Welsh corgies getting dragged, but that image crushed tbfh
nice work
