At least he’s not constantly subscribing to “bomb first, ask questions later”, as a diplomatic opening statement. Since when DID the U.S. become the dictator to all other nations?
Stopping Serb aggression wasn’t a bad thing, and we lost no troops. Libya was a nasty business, like Tunisia and Egypt, but we lost no troops. We should have acted sooner in Rwanda, but likewise Ike should have stood up in ’56 against Russia to defend Hungary. We should pick our fights, just not constantly with everyone.
