You already are. You have five operational bases in the Philippines. The GWOT is already there.

This war I'm talking about, has already started, you are just in the advise and assist phase.

Cold War Two is also in effect, the Chinese were courting Duterte.

Now all of a sudden you are giving him long range rocket artillery to "deter the Chinese"

How do you escape the trap of history without becoming a cuck nation? If we don't do dumb shit like this, some other upstart fuck will try to fill our role. Its not cool. America has done all this crazy shit that has given us a rep. We shouldn't have to keep proving ourselves. But if we don't get involved we risk losing our status. Its a big problem.

It's not a problem.

Manifest Destiny is destiny.

The military wants to fight.

They just want an enemy that is evil.

Enter the Islamic State.

They are massing in the Phillipines.

Ngo Dinh Dutuerte is a disloyal fuck who is courting the Chinese.

Boom! Vietnam syndrome kicked. Boo-yah! No more liberals.

It's a pendulum swinging. The game is to feed your opponent rope with which to hang themselves.

You mentioned that many of Nixon's positions were quite fickle ie environmental shit etc. Do you think if he had a better chance of winning, he'd run as a Democrat today?
