He more than tried, he drew troop l;evels down after the peace prize pres made 8 straight years of war. He had an opportunity to start a new war, something they almost all do in our war economy. But responded with a big stick. But no occupation, no rebuild, no "nation building"
Biden will try to consolidate support and send payola to the megacrops by upscaling and or starting a new war either just before or just after midterms at the latest. It is the way of the donkephant!

@Trish You are still saying that.! Trump isn't the one turning media, social media and colleges into political property. As far as divisionism it started a long time ago and has been expanded and enabled by generations of politicians not the least of which were the Bushbama years. It cannot be blamed on Trump and it has been accelerated by the DNC mob during the past 4 years, but now without plenty of help from opinion shaping and opposing POV hiding media and social media. It can be blamed on us, the American voter so caught up in our right to vote that we forgot our duty to know what we're voting for! Our duty to ploice our own party when they are wrong.
Even if you like Biden for president ( vs just hate Trump so badly you voted for Creepy uncle Joe.) even if you are passionate about his ability to lead our nation: You know in your heart the there are serious questions with the election. That the dems BOUGHT Georgia with the promise of free money! That media/SM elected Biden even if he was actually elected ( and we'll never know)
Don't those things bother you?

I have absolutely NO concerns about the election. I find it strange that the only concern republican leaders and trump supporters have were the ones their party DIDN'T win. Think about that for just a moment.
I will never come to think there was election fraud that only targeted the Democrats but not the Republican candidates within the same election district. That's impossible.
We are not going to sway each other on this topic.
My issue was NEVER with Trump. It was with his supporters and enablers. I hold them responsible for Trump's actions

Trump should have opened your eyes to how powerful the unelected officials are and how desperately most of the elected officials are to keep their cash cows in place. Trump has been a threat to globalist corporations, and big business that wants cheap labor. The amount of Chinese money is politics is astounding so anything to do with China is a no-no. Since Trump did not make politics his career he has not been tainted with the amount of crooked politics that goes on and was a direct threat to the status quo.
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.

I appreciate your great reply. I used to also believe we could drain the swamp, but honestly now, I'm not so sure. But I do agree with what you said on draining the bipartisan swamp that would go along ways towards positive change. Partisan politics has destroyed our nation, but without the media they could have never pulled it off.
As far as unity, I mean outside of politics, and building upon that. Politics are mostly lies fed to the people, it is a charade, and the people eat it up. The one thing that would solve our issues is getting money out of politics, because that would take the power right out of the hands of those who are purposefully causing the division to serve their agendas. If only we could put the power back in the hands of the people, I think we would agree on more than we think we would. Certainly there will be compromise, but that could be worked out.
I just feel that when we meet on common ground then we have a natural respect for one another as human beings, and if we tackle politics in that spirit, it would be quite different than the atmosphere we have now. Right now both sides loath one another and many believe the other half simply should not exist, this is not realistic, and will pave the way to the loss of our liberties.
But those are just dreams of a dreamer.
We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.
