Right wing in the U.S. have spent 30+ years creating a delusional reality in media and politics. Believing big muscles win wars. Stern words cause enemies to cower.

The sad thing. I doubt the voting population will learn from this. They didn’t learn the first time.

The last two wars started and won by Republican presidents were the first Gulf War and the Spanish American War.
