Same w Libya's Arab Spring uprising, where Qaddafi threatened a bloodbath in Benghazi)</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 19 Dec 2018 09:40:18 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 262732 at http://dagblog.com Good question, I don't have http://dagblog.com/comment/262716#comment-262716 <a id="comment-262716"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/262715#comment-262715">  Is there any reason to</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Good question, I don't have an answer. I posted it because Trump might give off the impression to some that nothing is going on except isolationism and tariffs. Somebody is running things over at the Pentagon while Trump babbles and trolls on twitter, mostly about himself, not even domestic policy; I am not still not sure who. We are still quite active in many parts of the world. Support the troops? No one even knows what they are up to any more. If you listened only to our White House, you'd think they were all on here on our soil and sometimes on our southern border. I read something recently about there are so few Pentagon press conferences these days that those on that beat feel like they'd welcome the lying back.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 19 Dec 2018 01:25:14 +0000 artappraiser comment 262716 at http://dagblog.com   Is there any reason to http://dagblog.com/comment/262715#comment-262715 <a id="comment-262715"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/think-tank-nato-must-prepare-counter-rapid-russia-invasion-europe-27018">Think tank: NATO must prepare to counter a rapid Russia invasion in Europe</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>  Is there any reason to believe Russia wants to conquer Europe?
