Why capitalized "Leaders"?
Sometimes I accidentally capitalize letters unnecessarily. Usually it's when certain words have a higher level of importance than others.
Communism is bad, but we have no right to invade other countries to "fight it".
We do when it becomes a threat to our economy, and when doing so will liberate a people from unjust rule, especially when such people is showing signs of Stockholm Syndrome for their tyrannical leaders.

That does not give the US some magic right to invade at will.
Again, it does when it becomes a threat to us as a nation. And communism, as I mentioned in my previous post, had become prevalent across all of ASIA, with several nations, including the two largest, the USSR and China) becoming communist within the last 30 years. Communism was spreading, as it is today, and to personify it a bit, had taken over several nations already. Going into Vietnam, while failing to prevent them from becoming communist, did stop the spread of communism, and it was, in fact, the last nation to this very day to become officially communistic.
RD, I really do think you need to listen to the show at

I'm certainly trying my best to, RD. We (as a nation) do, in fact, have a right to protect the innocent. That includes the innocent of other nations.
The US has troops all over the world.
Yes, we do. It's called protecting assets.
That is imperialism and is wrong.
What's imperialistic about it? In what way are we using the forces spread across the globe wrongly?
The US "Leaders" often use the military in an ungodly way to enhance their power and money positions.
OF COURSE THEY DO! I literally acknowledged this in my previous post.
And yet, even a broken clock is right twice a day, RD. Sometimes, even the wicked stumble backwards into doing what is right.
I think that you think that they are "far more pure" than they really are.
I think you're not paying attention to what I said.
