  1. Is Times Radio running a contest for the guest who can come up with the daftest fantasy?

  2.  @fred166  Trump's four years were the longest period in modern history in which America was not engaged in war. Unlike many, he does not see war as being good for business. So there.

  3. Not altogether a bad thing.

  5. I think he is on the side of peace.

  6.  @fred166  Are you a total prat, or just pretending?

  7. @peterholden3672 But no new wars were begun and efforts were made to stop wars begun by his predecessors. The American economy is addicted to perpetual war. Trump wants to break the habit.

  8. @peterholden3672 But no new wars, and serious efforts made to end the wars begun by his predecessors. Sadly the American economy is addicted to perpetual warfare. I believe Trump genuinely believes this to be wrong, both morally and economically.

  9. @peterholden3672 I did mean to say new wars. My bad. I think Trump, unlike many American politicians, does not believe war to be helpful to the economy.

  10.  @knightsnight5929  The BS is on you. Judge by results. The stand-off with NK massively reduced the threat from that country and the Taliban deal only failed because the Biden administration, unlike Trump, completely underestimated Taliban capabilities.

  11.  @knightsnight5929  The two are not necessarily exclusive.

  12.  @boota1979  True. I meant to say that Trump didn't start any new wars, but expressed myself carelessly.

  13.  @knightsnight5929  The standoff with NK curbed that country's ambitions, and the deal with the Taliban was not the cause of America's defeat, the incompetence of the Biden administration was.

  14.  @knightsnight5929  The standoff with NK ensured peace, and America's defeat in Afghanistan was due to the Biden administration's incompetence. The deal with the Taliban was designed to facilitate an ordered withdrawal. Mismanagement turned it into a near rout.

  15.  @knightsnight5929  And this is apologist BS. By taking things to the edge Trump called the bluff of potential aggressors, including NK. As for the debacle in Afghanistan, the peace plan was designed for an ordered withdrawal. Mismanagement on the ground turned it into a rout.

  16.  @knightsnight5929  His brinkmanship paid off in every instance. As for the rout in Afghanistan, if the plan had been followed correctly it would have meant an ordered withdrawal, instead of the disaster which actually occurred.
