Are what Republicans are good at.

Bush's illegal war destroyed an entire country, killing millions, and made billions for Blackwater and war contractors. Bush's war and recession are evident. Over the last 50 even 100 years there are better economics by far under Dems than Pubs. And, in recent years the R's are the war party.

we are outcasts now. And a lot of blood will be spilled because of this dangerous POS.

We are in a very very bad place, fucking 3 days into the New Year and we are on a brink of conflict.

Pompeo "we are safer now" STFU.

Or rather, I have no expectations, but Russia would be very smart to "ally" with us and attack Northern Iran. It would fit right in with Mr Putin's expansionist visions, and I believe there's oil in them thar hills.
