    You try that and expect a blockade. Monroe doctrine, look it up and worry…

        How effectively has the public lack of support stopped interventions in recent memory?

        Of course I seriously hope this changes but I think that only happens thru enough DSA-aligned people in power to force that change. An uphill battle, but there’s hope.

        The American public supports the military above all else. You mess with the military and their effective mission readiness, the people of USA will be United.

              American here who has lived in Canada by choice for many years now and am now a dual citizen. I’m from a military family and my family doesn’t even support Trump or Chief Makeup Queen that Trump appointed to head the military. Your assumption regarding public support might be applicable in Alabama or some shithole state but most Americans neither approve of Trump nor the actions that Trump has forced the military into taking. Supporting soldiers and vets is a lot different than supporting the stupid missions the government forces them to carry out.

              The vast majority of Americans including many Republicans are sick of the US meddling in other countries’ affairs. The US as the hegemon Monroe envisioned only exists in history books and MAGAt idiot minds.

              Also your “sources” are a) outdated and b) biased to say the least lol. Cope harder MAGA troll. Bye now.

                Dude I’m not a MAGA troll I’m a realist. The data is there and Americans support their military full stop. Americans are the most patriotic people in the world and the point is if somebody messes with our military (like the comment that I responded to said they will cut us off) then the public will support what is best for our military.

                The American people are strong because we have the greatest military in the world. We don’t commit war crimes and follow everything by the book and that’s the only reason Iran is winning!

                The survey was conducted in 2025, it’s not outdated! The only on biased is you. You can’t be a dual citizen, who do you pledge allegiance to? You need to pick one side, you’re either with America or not!

                  Please post references because the comment about not doing war crimes is hard to swallow. Didn’t a school with over 150 girls get blown up. Where is the accountability why that happened and what efforts have been made to prevent or minimize civilian casualties. There should be a standard to meet with respect to collateral damage and 90 percent civilian death toll is way too high should be much less and show what efforts are being made to minimize.

                    That’s unfortunate collateral damage. It was not done on purpose, the Iranians put that school there and pretended it was a military facility. You think the regime that massacres thousands will actually protect their children? THESE FUCKS ARE PEDOPHILES. Stop falling for Islamic propaganda
