The United States is 249 years old. We have been at war 229 of those years.

- 36 Major Wars
- 469 Total Interventions
- 5 Declared by Congress
- 26 Undeclared Wars

- $11.7T Total Cost (all wars)
- 1,339,811 Total US Deaths
- 5.2M+ Civilian Deaths

- 13W–5L–13I (Win/Loss/Inconclusive)

Only 3 wars were legitimate existential threats to the US
- War of 1812
- WWI
- WWII

Only 1 current action since WWII is legitimate with the continuing support of Ukraine against Russia since a Russian victory would be a clear and present danger to the US.

The United States is a dangerous morally bankrupt country and should not be trusted.

We, in the US, need to fully recognize that we are mentally like toddlers playing with dangerous weapons. It is time for us to grow up. We are not smart or capable enough to get involved beyond our borders. It is up to us to stop this military derangement inherent in our national character.

"It is clear that #borderRegimes—state institutions designated with the sole authority to deport and restrict entry—have today become a central mechanism for white supremacist worldmaking. What set of forces gave rise to these regimes, though, and how did they attain such wide-reaching, brutal strength? There is no shortage of historical antecedents." - #RobynMaynard

In 1862, a Colorado prospector named John White found gold in a Montana creek, and the town of Bannack was born. Montana's first territorial capital, home to a controversial sheriff, vigilante justice, and over 60 preserved buildings, Bannack remains one of the West's most compelling ghost towns.

Langford shaped Montana’s territorial era as gold-rush entrepreneur, tax collector, vigilante, and Yellowstone’s first superintendent – a man driven equally by public vision and private ambition, whose legacy remains as complex as the frontier he helped define.

Stone cold wonder: A petrified man pulled from Montana’s Missouri River in 1897 was marketed as murdered Civil War governor Thomas Meagher. The exhibit toured nationally before fading into obscurity – and the figure has never been found.
