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.

@rdfranke I think about stuff like this when I hear our national anthem. It's the dawn of a new day, and we're still trying to kill people.
