I’ve got some news here: Christians are called to be charitable to everyone, even those you questionably deem as “privileged”.

Actually, a lot of Native Americans were immigrants to other places “owned” by Native Americans and they fought and stole land from each other…

So where is your charity to refugees. How about practising what you are preaching.

And for what it’s worth, commenting on be no stopping the USA if the trumpeter gets a Nobel prize is not uncharitable. And it’s actually a social justice comment.
What’s next? Think outside the anti American trumpeter rhetoric you assign assumingly rather then contemplate what’s in a comment.

Yes and the indigenous were there before you. Your ancestors were immigrants too. In the history of humanity, it would not be hard to find a time of migration , either fleeing or calm, in any genealogy.

Pot kettle.

Because how is that bigotry… how are all government jobs “easy”…

Yep. Basically.

He’s not “new”, for the record - he’s been in office almost 17 months.

And if you’ve watched the news, you’ll see NK and ROK are in negotiations for the first time in decades.

North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950.

That conflict never officially ended.

The fighting stopped in 1953, but there have been numerous army attacks, tunnellings, naval attacks, kidnappings and assassinations by the North Koreans in the interim.

Trump would like it to end and to bring home the tens of thousands of American military now in South Korea and on various other bases in Japan and on Pacific islands.

Maybe de jure. But de facto it certainly has.

Sounds like NATO-Soviet relations through the 70s and 80s - maybe sans the naval attacks (depending on what you choose to believe).

If only that were true. The bulwark of support thrown by military contractors goes to Republicans. They don’t want to see a single micron of retraction of the US military footprint.
 
Having been to the DMZ - I have photos that are tagged “North Korea” by my phone, which is pretty cool and pretty scary - I promise you, even “de facto”, that conflict has not ended.

Ask those two guys who rushed the border a few months ago and were shot multiple times if the conflict is de facto over.

I just left South Korea a few months ago. That conflict is not over. Yet.

C’mon Monte. you’re a better student of history than that.

Eisenhower correctly identified the maturation of the military industrial complex into a force to be reckoned with when we entered the cold war. Comparing the international military presence pre-and-post NATO is cherry picking.

And I think it started in post-WW2 Japan, actually - we never fully left. Saw one of the Okinawa installations myself when I went to Japan 2 years ago.
