Do you like I have a negative opinion on the United Nations or is it a convenient diplomatic meeting place? I suppose its international food programs and humiliation programs are very useful. However… The Blue helmets idea that the UN pretends is security is a farce. Individual countries are sovereign and decide troop commitments! It’s annoying to hear despots and enemies come to the UN , like Khrushchev in 1960 saying “We will bury you”. George H.W. Bush (1990) in the 1st Iraq War put together a huge coalition of Nations to push Saddam Hussein successfully out of Kuwait (1991). Perhaps the high point of the UN. The United Nations was formed after WWII, in New York City, with a Secirity Council and Genarel Assembly of all nations, with diplomats receiving immunity while there. Should the UN at least be moved out of the U.S.?.

Was George Custer, only living 36 years, a hero even though he lost overwhelmingly at the battle of Little Bighorn? George Custer was a Commander during the Civil War who fought at Gettysburg in 1863, pivotal win, but… His USA 7th Cavalry LOST to Crazy Horse and 3 Indian tribes: Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes in 1876 in Montana. However…,1st, not all 700 men were killed, 268 were, including Custer 2nd Congress would drastically increase the troop numbers for future engagements with Indian tribes. In reality, this was THE INDIANS LAST STAND of being victorious on the battlefield! This marked the end of significant Indian victories against American Forces. The Indian battles were TRUE WAR and the Colonists and American forces WON UNCONDITIONALLY, leading to the Indian reservations of today. I added a message monument made to honor Crazy Horse who defeated Custer, but surrendered to US forces in 1877, the next year.

I’m tagging @Maureen Greer for her take on American civility (I strange concept, I know), Was Nancy Pelosi (2020) ripping up Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address copy THE WORST, MOST DISGUSTING display by a Speaker of the House EVER! Barack Obama called out a Supreme Court case he disagreed and Congressman Joe Wilson (2009) said the famous “You lie” moment. The President was wrong. The Constitution, Article II, Section III,Clause I states the President “shall from time to time give to Congress a State of the Union…recommend for consideration he judge necessary and expedient” In modern times, Woodrow Wilson started in 1913, the trend of standing in the House of Representatives delivering the address in person. Also, do you agree with the “Rebuttal”, equal time for the opposition party on TV? Problems with State of the Union Adress?

What country is America’s Greatest Ally, through thick and thin? Sometimes we have to “go it alone”….However France, in 1778, after the battle of Saratoga, joined the U.S. with its Navy, most importantly. Without France, I believe the Revolutionary War would still have been won, but certainly not at Yorktown (1781)! The USA in WWI and WWII allied with France and Great Britain to defeat the Germans. We are great allies with Japan, dealing with North Korea. The USA has now expanded NATO from 12 to 28 countries to pin Russia in. The USA promises to defend Taiwan against China.
