And as soon as the alliance between America and France lost its use, it was discarded. In short, nations don't have "friends", they have interests that they pursue.
    We were allies with Russia during World War II when Russia was communist. Now that they're not communist anymore, they're icky.

    We were allies only in that we had a common enemy.

    We were allies only in that we had a common enemy. We did not conduct joint operations with them during WWII like allies typically do.

    We have a common enemy now.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Democrats?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    We were allies to beat Hitler. It was never more than that.
