Biden says the era of U.S. nation building is over as he marks the end of the Afghanistan war: It’s about time. How does this play out with those that believe that Democrats are part of the globalist’s ploy to form a one world government?
Why can’t these Republicans support funding for Americans here at home, instead of always spending on the military-industrial complex that their fellow Republican, President Eisenhower, warned in1961? Because Republicans are fixated on a pure theoretical capitalist system that fails human social responsibility.
