A reminder that Trump's position on ending foreign wars and putting America First was until the neocon Bushes, a very mainstream position within the GOP.

As my friend Quantus Polls points out, the old-school GOP position was not pro-isolationist. Rather, it was a prudent restraint. "Meaning not jumping into every brush fire war the world has to offer."

Ike subscribed to the Domino Theory, but he was convinced Vietnam was un-winnable. He sent aid and an estimated 1,000 troops as advisers to Vietnam, but it was JFK and LBJ who ramped up the war, sending tens of thousands. It would take Republican President, Nixon, to end the war.
Reagan was no warhound. He spent a boatload on the military and yes, funneled the guns to the Contras, but he launch one war that last two days and bombed Libya for a several hours. It was GHWB who took the party down the warpath, launching wars against Panama, Somalia, and the big one against Iraq. GWB would follow his daddyโs lead and drag us into two forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In comparison to Putin, would you say Justin Trudeau is more or less dictatorish? I saw what Trudeau's goons did to the paster who just wanted to preach on Sundays during the lockdowns. I also saw how Trudeau treated the peaceful truckers and their supporters.

I come from a long line of farmers. So old that Andrew Jackson signed the deed to our family farm. But globalization obliterated family farming. Today, many don't possess the skills to feed themselves. Supply chain problems in a recession could be catastrophic for many.

DeSantis is a fantastic governor, but he will destroy his political future if he challenges Trump, and he knows that. Not one of the 16 major GOP candidates from 2016 has made a comeback after Trump. The base is with Trump and looking to vindicate 2020.

The best move for DeSantis would be to lock in a VP spot by agreeing not to run. That sets him up nicely for 2028 and, in the interim, gives Trump an insurance policy should Democrats try to indict him. Democrats view DeSantis as a major long-term political threat.
