We were NOT discussing the Yanks.

We were discussing Arabs sending missiles to Israel because they are under Israeli occupation.

 

The Americans are the most warlike nation on the planet.  the reason they have to do so much defending is because they do so much attacking others.

Since the day that their country was formed,  the Americans have only had ONE PRESIDENT who has not taken them to war.

I believe that we come second after America for the number of wars we have fought.       Some very necessary  -  others most certainly not.

I don't believe in  unnecessary  wars     -     John Lennon was right   "Give peace a chance"

Donald Trump?

I'm not even prepared to mention that dope's name.   I will say that he's very, very,  unlike John Lennon.

America was at war ( in Afghanistan ) when he was in office too but it's true that he didn't start it.

It seems that I was wrong regarding how many presidents did NOT start wars  -  I believe there were 4.

More likely Carter, though the comments of being at war is misleading.
I don't think Ford or Nixon took the USA into new major armed conflicts, though the were elected and served during existing ones.

Would that be the same John Lennon who admitted to physically abusing his wife but wanted to " give peace a chance" the same John Lennon who abandoned his child.....that John Lennon?

We are discussing WARS,  which could lead to WORLD WARS,  rather than talking of  playing happy families.

Do you always lose track of the important things in a discussion ?

It could turn out that Churchill may have given Clemmie a back hander or two when he'd been at the brandy but I'd prefer to stay on the subject.

Yanks have bases in lots of Countries inc ours , They are there to help protect us from nutters like Iran , Russia and so on .

Be very very thank full for that .As well as to  their lads buried in military grave yards through out Europe , Take you cap off , Bow your head and say a little prayer for the mams and dads and wives they left behind in America only to die on a foreign field protecting the likes of you .

Noble words.

At times our interests coincide with America so they are indeed allies.However their involvement in overseas conflicts is very much concerned with protecting their own country from any threat .

They prefer to influence and attempt regime change away from their own country.

Perhaps similar to the preemptive actions of Israel.

Yeah, I did hear John Lennon wasn't the peace loving Saint some people like to paint him as.

I can see you're a Morecambe & Wise fan but you got it the wrong way round  -  It's right notes in wrong order.

 

Wonder if you can tell me where the Yanks were in   1939 - 1940 and 1941.    It took them a long time to hear us shouting until Japan supplied them with a hearing aid.

 

You keep your tin hat on and practice your Dad's Army drill   -   I prefer peace.
