I'm not saying we need to withdraw in a day but the goal really needs to be to get out. I could see a full withdrawal on a reasonable timeline and I'd give Biden credit if we withdrew even by the end of his first term. I'm not unreasonable. We could give our allies a reasonable warning in advance that over the next X months or years we're leaving and they'll frankly have to deal with that.ELI5: Why do progressives think it's so easy to just put an end to the Middle East involvement? Obviously, Iraq was a mistake, but I genuinely don't understand the logistics of our foreign policy enough to know why we are still there and why it's easy to not be there.
Without any thought, personally, it sounds nice to not be involved, but assuming Obama doesn't love killing innocent people for fun, I have to imagine it's a lot more complicated. Is this true? Why or why not?
I know about supplying the Kurds in order to fight ISIL, but when Trump left them high and dry, progressives lost their mind. I don't understand this situation and why progressives make it sound so simple.
Here's a good article explaining the situation, but I'm curious what people here think.
I feel like Obama was the sacrificial lamb for the belief that a liberal can prove objectivity to a conservative.And also, Obama admitted in his recent book that he did a lot of what he did for political optics, he said he didn't want to look like a liberal President who was weak on terror.
The far left, socialist, Ron Paul, is quoted many times, insisting and demanding that the USA get out of all their foreign wars. Born To Slay thinks "policies of staying out of wars and not invading countries" is a left-wing trait, right?ELI5: Why do progressives think it's so easy to just put an end to the Middle East involvement?

They were rich based on oil.Don't forget the country Obama bombed was a socialist state, so if he was truly a "radical leftist", then he's a pretty crap one and lack principles by bombing a socialist country for imperialist gains.
When I say they're socialist, I don't mean they are ruled by a socialist party; I mean their whole government was designed by socialists (not the traditional kind, as apparently Islam still played a decent part, just the less conservative side of it). The country's official name was Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and their official motto was "freedom, socialism and unity".
Fun fact: Before the invasion, Libya was the richest and most developed country in Africa. Here's the human development index of Libya compared to all the other African countries. It's the only one in green which is in the "High" development category, which also happens to host a bunch of countries from Western Europe, East Asia, North America, Australia/NZ etc:

Still waiting for my answer.
Tech companies censoring conservatives is going to be the best thing to ever happen to the Internet. It will give rise to a decentralized peer to peer-esque web 3.0 that large corporations will not have control over. These tech companies are digging their own grave by mass censoring. The mainstream media is already calling decentralized Google, Twitter, Reddit alternatives "extremist websites". Don't fall for the propaganda. Stay Diligent."Misinformation" and "conspiracy theories" are the new buzzwords used to justify censorship.

Not snow, temperature. I'm freezing my ass off.You are seriously going with the "Climate Change is fake because it still snows" thing?
"Climate Change" is yet another controversial topic which ironically provokes authorities to censor and people to use buzz words to intimidate people who don't abide by the commonly held and accepted narrative.You are seriously going with the "Climate Change is fake because it still snows" thing?
I'm as Libertarian as they come but Breitbart news is the 180 of the Clinton News Network. All the mainstream media is garbage. All these moronic journalists with extreme far left and right views. Why do we have a two party system? If the clowns that voted for Trump would have voted Libertarian we would have a woman president that pushes to eliminate excess waste and minimalize the government.You sound brainwashed. I bet you watch CNN.
Go check out NewsMax, OAN and Breitbart for REAL news, you liberal.
Some questions, if you don't mind. Are all those who voted for Trump, "clowns", or are some not? If all all of those who voted for Trump, who lost, had voted for a female libertarian candidate, how could she have possibly won? Final question: Are those who voted for Biden, not "clowns"?I'm as Libertarian as they come but Breitbart news is the 180 of the Clinton News Network. All the mainstream media is garbage.

Haha, @TeeOh was satirically pretending to be on the far right. I completely understand why you thought he was serious. It goes to show how similar they all sound.I'm as Libertarian as they come but Breitbart news is the 180 of the Clinton News Network. All the mainstream media is garbage.

Is every trial that ends in acquittal a waste of taxpayer dollars?Due to the acquittal, Donald Trump has retained his Secret Service protection for life, and his right to run for office, including the Presidency, in the future. He is also entitled to his pension, and an annual allowance for office space and staff. He will not be eligible for health insurance, a President needs to be in federal office for at least five years to get that perk, so neither Trump nor Carter qualify for it.
Although he was defeated in the 2020 Presidential Election, Trump was 100% victorious in the impeachment trial. This trial was a waste of time, and taxpayers' money.
Please. They both signed orders and laws that their base wants that the other side hates. Not sure how that makes Trump for the people and Biden for special interests. Trump had his own donors to support.Trump was the "People's President". Biden is just a puppet for special interest groups. He signed more executive orders in less than a month than his predecessors did in a year I would guess, and some of them are very bad decisions IMO.
A little strange considering Graham voted not to convict Trump. But whatever, I think every President will get impeached from now on.Harris may be impeached, in 2022. Hopefully, it will happen.
Lindsey Graham Warns Kamala Harris May Be Impeached if Republicans Take Back House

Lmfao, that was Mitch McConnell with Trump the entire time.
Unfortunately, having been on jury duty, and grand jury duty, I'm sorry to say that many trials are. This impeachment trial was not only a waste of money, in the middle of a pandemic it was a waste of valuable human resources as well.Is every trial that ends in acquittal a waste of taxpayer dollars?
