We do not want war with Iran. We do not want war with North Korea. We do not want war with Syria. Nor China, nor Russia, nor Venezuela, But if they start something -- directly or by proxy -- we will surely finish it with haste.
And that is why we strategically place troops and arms in areas of the world where are interests need to be protected.
Liberals who make the claim that Republicans are warmongers have no clue how to responsibly protect themselves against enemies. They would rather wholly accept appeasement as a solution rather than engage in the specter of provoked war if our enemies should get adventurous at our expense.
