If you can't see the difference between WW2 where we were and still are very gratefull for your countries sacrifices and help to end it and all the next wars that were kind of started and escalated to insanity like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, not to mention the meddling in South America, please don't , you will only make things worse. The only way to see and experience that is to have one on your own turf, then you will know and never want to be at war again.
That's why I like Trump's 'America first' approach, let those ungrateful people fight their own wars.
Trump is a textbook demagogue: everything he says is designed to engage with people's emotions, fears and prejudices rather than their brains.
Very much the same tactics being used by both sides of the Brexit campaign, in fact.

I see your point, it was OK to bail out the Nederland but not South Korea, Kuwait, South Vietnam or the Shia in Iraq.
Ad hominem attacks are always a great way to avoid addressing the issues.

Ah, how people forget "inconvenient" history.
When the UK was the dominant trading nation (19thC), we accepted the necessity of being the world's policeman, in order to maintain the trade.
The USA delayed entering WW2 for >2 years, until they could be sure that they would become the dominant trading nation afterward. Since they have chosen that role with its advantages, it looks childishly churlish if they don't like accepting the concomitant responsibilities.
In their favour, the USA has joined each war after WW2 early - some would argue too early, before it was necessary.

What action did Trump took made him a demagogue? What did he say that made him a demagogue? Give me a quote please.

Supporting Diem in Vietnam was a mistake in retrospect, supporting his assassination more so and hard to justify at the time. On top of that by the time the US population tired of war, the war had created a monster much worthier of fighting, Pol Pot.

If you cannot cite a quote, it is baseless.
Why then do you see this as an appropriate place for you to throw verbal bombs and baseless accusations?
Discussing Brexit is interesting because the correct course of action is not at all obvious.

The UK voters need look no further than their own poet, John Milton:
"Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven."
- Orlando FL, shooter called the police to pledge his allegiance to ISIS.

The president and his men emphasized that the gunman used an automatic weapon. Well, would he be any less evil had he used a rifle or a handgun to kill those people?

Are there any non-bias sites explaining what Brexit is?
thanks

If you cannot cite a quote, it is baseless.I could cite any number of quotes, as could anyone with access to a search engine. As I have already stated, this is not the appropriate venue.QuoteWhy then do you see this as an appropriate place for you to throw verbal bombs and baseless accusations?The thread was already drifting into an acrimonious discussion of US politics, and I made a clearly fruitless effort to move from a discussion of Trump to the tactics of the Brexit crowd.

Discussing Trump is less so because there is a vast and largely unbridgeable gulf between his supporters and his detractors. "Discussions" inevitably become slanging matches.
The people that should know say Brexit will not happen. The odds for Leave are as high as 9/4.
