Ben Wallace: UK 'must be prepared to fight wars without US'

I worry if the United States withdraws from its leadership around the world," Mr Wallace said "That would be bad for the world and bad for us. We plan for the worst and hope for the best."

so liberals attacked bush for getting us into a long war of questionable
value.

When trump decides to avoid endless wars of questionable
value, you attack him for that?

WDMSO, which is it? Is it our responsibility to be the worlds policeman, or isn’t it?

Republicans are damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

Try this...develop a principle, and apply that principle equally, regardless of the political party of the sitting president.

it would be bad if we withdrew from the world. Fortunately, we aren’t doing that. I saw a lot of US firefighters arriving in Australia, and they got a standing ovation at the airport. We’re not withdrawing from
the world.

Your missing his point

He is saying the US under Trump is no longer a reliable allied

Nothing you said has anything to do with what he's talking about.

Please let me know when trumps got us out of endless wars

Saw the firefighters airport and whole 20 of them clearly not alot and nothing to do with American leadership.
Whats Trump doing about PR ?

what have we done to abandon Great Britain?

The fact that the US is sending firefighters to Australia, to risk their lives to serve the people on the opposite side of the world, isn't proof that we haven't abandoned the world?

Nothing will please you, no matter what the US does to help other countries. You hear a criticism of Trump, you suck it up like a Hoover deluxe and cling to it regardless of the facts.

Once again our president is in a no win scenario with PR. He is likely working tirelessly to help these folks get their aid. The problem with just sending $ to PR is that it will be plundered by the corrupt politicians,which happened last time he trusted their hierarchy. Only a fool would do that again.

Ask them this isn't just some guy off the street making this statement

The US government isn't sending firefighters their all volunteers
All 150 of them again has nothing to do with the topic

Nothing will please you, no matter what the US does to help other countries. You hear a criticism of Trump, you suck it up like a Hoover deluxe and cling to it regardless of the facts.

The only one clinging to Trumps inmangary helping of other countries is you

Americans have always helped Iseral Trumps the only one blowing them but

[JohnR]

Wait.

"America shouldn't be world's police"

"America's military is too big and needs to be halved"

"Military Industrial Complex"

How am I doing?

8 years of protesting America was evil and begging NATO to pay more, followed by no protesting because 8 years of Nobel Peace Prize with light begging of NATO pay more while hollowing out our forces , followed by 3 years of Pu$$y Hats wereallgonnadie if we don't attack Turkey and the save the Kurds without pizzing off Iran because Orange Man Bad.

For the record I am for a better diplomatic corps, not retreating to our shores. Neither side can manage to get past talking points.

I think you understand what I mean. The aid will get there to help the victims this time instead of our American politicians. This is not the all or nothing scenario that you portray here. The real story is the 1 death that resulted from this potential catastrophe. Thank Trump for that.👌

Thats funny trump will risk war due to the Death of 1 American

But seeing only 1 person died in the Earthquakes. No help for PR. Such logic

PR didnt kiss Trumps ass after the hurricane so now he and his pals froze 18mil in aid and he did sign a disaster declaration for this earthquake, watching to see his response to the tornadoes, seeing 12 people killed, deaths are the new metrics on disasters

Wayne, your hubris is showing. Trump is not risking war, nor was the targeting of this monster due to the death of 1 American. But you know that and it upsets you for some reason.
Additionally,my fishing partner has 5 homes in PR. One of which was damaged. He went down last week...to go fishing.
You should really educate yourself about some of these topics before spouting your foolishness. Get well soon.👌
