I think the phrases "illegal war" and "war crimes" are redundant. WTF is a "legal" war?

"War I've been told to support is legal, other wars are illegal (we don't talk about morals here because I'm American and morality is decorative at best, but usually shunned as weakness)."

And then they made a video game about the guerilla warfare in Nicaragua and everybody was like "hell yeah"

He was an empty suit that could read very well off a teleprompter

he had alzheimers, and was controlled by Nancy"throat goat" reagen and his cabinet, he was nothing more than an empty puppet.

Reagan also won on "sealing the border"

... only to provide amnesty for those illegally here in the USA.

One more tired example of the USAs BoTh PaRtIeS shit show, where every campaign promise is automatically never, ever going to happen.

Bush won with "no new taxes", made new taxes.

Clinton won with "universal healthcare", no universal healthcare.

Bush Two won with "enough government spending", spending was phenomenal

Obama won with "end the endless wars", endless wars.

Trump won on "build the wall", no wall.

Biden won on "15 an hour", $7.25 an hour.

Trump won on "no war", war.

Sadly, every generation is as full of suckers as the generation before, there are always enough that fall for the puppet show
