Even during the Trump years, we had Syria (left over from Obama) We were involved along with Russia and Iran. Afghanistan is another one that Trump inherited. Yemen was at war with Saudi Arabia but we weren't involved as far as I know.
What's different in the world today is that the current administration looks like they're just itching for a war. Is it the end times? I don't know but, right now, I'm more worried about who has come (and who is still coming) across the border from the south. We know for a fact that not all the "refugees" are Mexicans looking for a better life.
I am about as generous and as compassionate as they come. My family history is so diverse that my Mother calls our family a patched work quilt. But there is a reason why from the beginning of man's construction of home and and shelter, that there was always a door placed on that construction. There is a reason why man has always controlled what entered and what left their home. You don't have to be a genius to realize that there is no safety in allowing free, unimpeded entry to your home.
Those in control are far from stupid, so what is their reason for allowing unimpeded entry of so many young, battle fit, men into the country?
We aren't stupid either. We know something is not right. Let us not get tangled up in the left side and the right side, Dems or Repubs. When America falls we are all going to collapse together. Both the left and the right will be dust, and closing the door now will not stop what is coming.
I think about the movie "Red Dawn". I kept asking myself, how could our country be so easily infiltrated, and it was hilarious to me at the time to believe that Americans would be taken over so easily. After all, every home has at least one gun, right?
I look at the movie today, and I am not laughing.
We had better stop believing the lies we tell ourselves. Our government is not going to save us, no matter whom they allow into office. The militia is not coming. And your neighbor with all his weapons and stored goods, is not going to be any better off than you. The best he may be able to do, is to get himself killed early enough in the battle, so he will not suffer as much as the rest of us.
