You got it completely wrong. Poles start wars. Germans get the blame.

Americans start wars and blame the Japs.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Nothing new about it. Everyone knows that Pearl Harbour was just a rehearsal for the Gulf of Tonkin incident. To get false flag operations just right you need to practice.

OK big wars since there were Republicans. Civil War - Democrats. WW I - Democrat. WW II - Democrat. Korea - Democrat. Vietnam - Democrat, though GOP sent in the first advisers. Pretty much everything since then - GOP, though Democrats also in power during hostilities.

Of course we've basically been at war with somebody or another for almost our entire history, so the answer is probably "both".

I think that threatening whores is morally abhorrent. Pay them well, screw them and move on...

America throughout its existence has almost been at war.

America Has Been at War 93% of the Time – 222 out of 239 Years – Since 1776
First published by Washington’s Blog and Global Research in January 2017

The U.S. Has Only Been At Peace For 21 Years Total Since Its Birth

In 2011, Danios wrote:

Below, I have reproduced a year-by-year timeline of America’s wars, which reveals something quite interesting: since the United States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during 214 out of her 235 calendar years of existence. In other words, there were only 21 calendar years in which the U.S. did not wage any wars.

To put this in perspective:

* Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year.

* No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.”


* The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.

* The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

* * *

A great peaceful country.

Democrats didn't start WW1 or 2.

Well, I think that Woodrow WIlson had a choice to enter WWI, he took it.

I guess that Roosevelt did not have a choice not to declare war on Germany once their Japanese allies had attacked him, but still, the US waited till December of '41 to enter the war.

Johnson was only a Democrat through his experience with poverty. He was fair to minorities etc. but when Vietnam came up, he was centrist to right winger.
