Oh, I don't know about that. That would be sort of like Arkansas booting the United States out of the state because the feds offended Orval Faubus.Quote:

I'd say it's a simple case of what goes around comes around.
If I have my news source correct, the U.S. is only sending a minimal amount of military support to the war Ukraine and the bulk of foreign aid to the war is coming from the EU. However the US is still selling weapons to the EU. It makes my head spin thinking about how much those aircraft carriers and cruise missiles are costing us taxpayers.Quote:

It's hard to keep up with it all, but the boat strikes on supposed drug runners has dropped out of the media. I doubt they have quit running drugs? The whole Venezuela situation has dropped out of the news I've followed but is probably out there somewhere.

I just don’t think about it, it’s all too depressing.
“ Beware the military -industrial complex” said someone, I think Eisenhower.
How quickly and thoughtlessly our President has plunged our country--and the world--into chaos. What a mess. Wonder what his exit strategy will be? Don't know about you, but I'm frightened and concerned..
You are not alone.Quote:
