The Cold War? Child’s play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

    The Imperial Boomerang is coming back on the country now, what we support overseas gets adopted by our own lawmakers and done at home. No one should celebrate it, it’s the same ones behind doing those things overseas doing it here, to gain more power to do the same things to those other countries with even less restraint, as much as malign forces would have us celebrate hurting people because their government is bad.

      Meh, I am not seeing it. Unless you are talking about the War on Drugs which was used to destroy millions of minority and poor white families. You are about 40 years late on calling it.

      Also in the last thirty years we have lost more Americans to gun violence than every American lost in every war combined.

      If you think Ice killing hundreds or even thousand of people is the boomerang then I would like to point out that this narrative isn’t very convincing.
