        He’s just going to list cold war bullshit like I give a fuck what a Democrat did 60 years ago.

        Let’s talk about today

                It’s always the same with these types, eh?

                “OMG JUST LOOK IT UP!”

                I mean, I’m willing to change my mind if they can provide a reputable source, but they never want to.

                What’s the point? I’ll provide a list and then you’ll be like “congress didn’t declare war, that’s not a war!” etc. I know anyone who claims to not know this is either staggeringly misinformed, in which case I would have to hold their hand through various terms and explain in great detail, OR is just taking a piss. Either way, me providing links won’t help

                  Isn’t that the point though? All you’re doing is making an assertion without evidence thereby dodging any hope of a meaningful discussion.

                    There is no meaningful discussion to be had when such absurd claims are made. It’s all fun and games now.

        I didn’t make any such claim regarding popularity, first we’d have to agree on what qualifies as “unpopular”.

        Re wars, again, first let’s establish do you mean “declared by congress war” like the official USA propaganda line, or do you believe military strikes are also war (or even acts of war)? What about assassination?

        With “acts of war” Democratic presidents routinely commit acts of war along with Republicans, how far can we go back?

        if “declared war” is your line, then we haven’t been in a “real war” since Korea, so we’ve been “war free” since 1950s. I think that’s silly personally.
