I'm sure what you say is true, but we don't seem to be making any progress toward changing our behavior, repairing our shabby image or becoming responsible, admirable citizens of the global community. This bothers me and a lot of my fellow Americans. We are actively working to reverse it ... and it is a huge uphill battle. I'll admit we're a tiny minority, but we care about such things. We are not members of the Trump constituency. We believe our country has been headed down a wrong and toxic path for the last 40 years -- not only for our standing on the world stage but for the well-being and future of our own citizens.

Lord, we had such high hopes when he was elected. That was maybe the last time I was really proud of us and what we'd achieved. To say he was a colossal disappointment is the biggest understatement you've heard this year. (I'm serious. Don't get me started.)

Edit: We also see this saber-rattling w/ NK as partially a distraction to take the spotlight off his Russia-problem. FWIW. (Not much, IMO.)

You are aware the war decisions are way above Bush 2 ,Obama and trumps paygrade. There is a military complex/deep state that makes these decisions. The prez does not
