Mr. Airforce, please allow me to present some few fact to you. I return to the past century. Mr. Wilson actually wanted the US to enter WWI. His inept handling of the peace following that war allowed France to create the setting for Germany to finally go to war and we got WWII. There are some books documenting the measures taken by Mr. Hitler to bring Germany out of the absolute devastation in Germany caused by French r********ns. Mr. FD Roosevelt couldn’t wait to get involved in WWII and was financing the war before Mr. Roosevelt got his reason for entering the war.
You say Republican wars. Let me cite some numbers. Wilson, WWI US combat deaths 53,402; F Roosevelt, WWII US combat deaths 291,557; Kennedy/Johnson, Vietnam war US combat deaths 47,434; Truman, Korean war US combat deaths 33,686; Bush 2/Obama/Trump/Biden, Iraq war US combat deaths 3,836; Bush 2/Obama/Trump/Biden, Afghanistan war US combat deaths 1,833. I am giving Bush 2 the deaths even though the other three presidents had the option of ending those two wars at any time during their tenure of office.
Total US combat deaths under Democrat Presidents 395,779.
Total US combat deaths under Republican Presidents 5,669.
I have lived in the presidencies of all but Wilson in this list so in my life the Democrat presidents have been liable for 342,377 US deaths while the Republican presidents have been liable for 5,699 US deaths. Which is the warmongering party?
You really need to understand that anything you read in any newspaper is not necessarily t***h but a slanted and biased article written by someone who wants to change your mind to his way of thinking. That is T***H about any and all news whether Democrat or Republican. Even the Peg here should realize that Fact Checkers are also very biased in the way they present the facts they are supposedly verifying as t***h.
Your poisoning the well statement about Trump and Putin can also be said about Biden’s puppet, the little tin dictator in Ukraine who is nothing more and nothing less than a vaudeville comedian pretending to be a president.
I am registered as an Unaffiliated V**er. I do usually v**e for the Libertarian candidate however.

Fallen Oak, I think you’re missing a few acorns. Please allow me to give you some facts:
Had the US not entered WW2 the allies would have been defeated and Germany and Japan would have divided and controlled the world. One can only guess what our lives would have been like had that happened. That fact and the New Deal (Social Security, etc) are why historians rank FDR as one of our greatest presidents.
It was Eisenhower who sent “advisors” to Vietnam and Laos. Kennedy continued the policy. It was Johnson, of course, who escalated it with the fabricated Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which he used to con the Congress into expanding the war by 500,000 troops, one of which was me.
But remember in1968 when Richard Nixon ran for President on the lie that he had a secret plan to end the war? He was elected based on that lie, and also based on the murder of his primary political rival, RFK.
Nixon had no such secret plan and escalated the war into Cambodia.
In 1968 Johnson had negotiated a treaty with North and South Vietnam. Candidate Nixon sent an envoy to Saigon and convinced South Vietnam President Thieu to cancel the treaty, that Nixon would give him a “better deal” when he was President. From that day forward Vietnam became Nixon’s war, as he allowed it to continue for several more years. So much for his “secret plan”. This is all documented in the tape of the Johnson-Dirkson telephone conversation in which Johnson and Dirkson agreed that Nixon had committed treason.
Iraq belongs 100% to President Cheney and his marionette George W. Bush. Afghanistan also belongs to Cheney and Bush, as does 9/11, as Bush was sent a warning of the attack and failed to read it. That’s right, Bush could have prevented 9/11. When the peaceful t******r of p***r (remember those? ) occurred in 2001 President Clinton advised Bush his primary national security worry would be Al Qaeda. Bush replied no, it was Saddam. “Saddam tried to k**l my Dad”, he said.
You claim you don’t believe the media or the fact checkers. Really? Where do you get your information? There is no other source unless you are an eye witness.
Perhaps you should find a source, as you have been fed some bogus information, and neglected some facts.
