Create a channel Learn moreThis country was created by his type of people who 'didn't know whats going on.'I believe the most accurate thing he said is “I don’t know what’s going on”.
FFS, do we really think this kid is an expert source on foreign affairs policy in a shrinking world where no country is an island.
It very simple....this isn't 1817 anymore and we can't just hide out on our side of the pond. The entire world is connected with a wide variety of crtical interdependencies and that ain't changing anytime soon. And...ah...that was what the bit about "no country is an island" was about.This country was created by his type of people who 'didn't know whats going on.'
Tell us where he was wrong?
Anybody less than half my age seems like a kid to me. But I get what you mean and I agree.Sounds like a man to me!
All of those founders and statesmen, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams and other great minds, shared virtues this kid has you tend to downplay; honesty, common sense and being grounded.It very simple....this isn't 1817 anymore and we can't just hide out on our side of the pond.

He thinks he can stay on his ranch in AR, just ignore anything going on elsewhere, and his world won't change.
He can think that because he's basically ignorant...but he's also wrong.
And please don't try to elevate ignorance to a virtue....this country was also created by people like Ben Franklin, Ben Waterhouse, Jefferson, and many, many others who def knew WTF was going on.
Best of luck to you.

I'm sorry, my friend, but you may need to go back and read again what I wrote.virtues this kid has you tend to downplay; honesty, common sense and being grounded.
He must be an expert. He said what I think with conviction. A true expert can lack some information, acknowledge the lack and thru sound reasoning still come to a sound conclusion.I believe the most accurate thing he said is “I don’t know what’s going on”.

Grounded means he hasn't lost sight of the fundamentals of being a good American. It's not that complicated.I'm sorry, my friend, but you may need to go back and read again what I wrote.
I never criticized this kid for his honesty, common sense, or how grounded he is (whatever that term means to you). I never said a word about any of those qualities.
I did say that he was ignorant (a common condition and not to be confused with stupid) and wrong.
I I sort of feel that I have at least a half ass grasp of the USA military's role having been a member at a time when no one was thanking any of us for our service.
Don't try to under-think it either.
Cheers
And exactly how the fuck do you know what kind of dude he is. You guys hang out on Sat nights? Maybe tip some cows? hahaHe's just a good dude
See, the thing I found captivating about the kid, and something you don't get.And exactly how the fuck do you know what kind of dude he is. You guys hang out on Sat nights? Maybe tip some cows? haha
Yeah, yeah, yeah....he's the salt of the earth. Still doesn't mean he has any fucking perspective on world events from his view in octagon or pasture. And he's still young, ignorant, inexperienced, and has no historical perspective. You want to follow his lead, have at it. I don't care. Truly....no fucks to give. Go for it.
But look, there were isolationists before WW1 & 2. "Hey, no need to get involved over there...let's just stay in our factories, farms, etc and let Europe and Asia solve their own issues."
Of course, that worked out real well until the sinking of the Lusitania and other civilian American shipping, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and a few days later Germany's declaration of war against the USA.
You see....THEY don't care if you put your head in the sand. They'll come for you anyway. You want to fight them here instead of over there? Really? Cause you are going to end up fighting them somewhere.
Cheers
