I agree with the sentiment here, however, back in the 90s, after the fall of the Soviet Union, there was a reduction in military spending. Military bases were closing; many of my friends/peers were discharged from service, and so on. And then 9/11 happened and military spending has skyrocketed ever since. Coincidence? Hmmm?

Trump was famously elected as the big isolationist candidate and we know how that went...
He was pro-Russian, thus against help to Ukraine. That is literally the extend of his isolationism.

The claim he is pro peace was always transparent lie and people literally recognized it at the time.

But what about the Board of Peace? https://boardofpeace.org/ ... I love the quote: "...the war in Gaza is over." If people weren't dying, that would be hilarious!
