Other countries, however, do get dragged into America's wars.

The US is the only ever to invoke article 5, requiring other countries to come to its aid. It did that after Sept 11th. Fair enough, other countries were pulled in and helped out. Then the US tried to roll that war in Afghanistan into another war in Iraq. Various countries like France and Canada refused to participate. The threats and anger directed at them for not joining in was huge. Other countries like the UK didn't fight it much and were pulled into that war.

I was under the impression when we say "dragged" we meant by our out-of-touch oligarchical leaders.

The exception being desert storm which we all like to blame Bush half-jokingly for but we were legit just really horned up to go to war. Like holy damn so fucking thirsty for it. There was no other word to describe that besides just straight up bloodlust but we kind of like to pretend we didn't want it.

America doesn’t know who it is if it’s not killing someone.

That’s why we’ve been at war for all but 17 years of our existence.

Stop expecting that to change.

The US as a country is dragged into wars by its warmongering leaders.
None of us want this shit.

She gotta point…the most powerful deal maker in the world(according to Trump) couldn’t make a deal and resorted to violence

all the middle east seems to need from my layman ass opinion is that they need to be left the fuck alone.

we can tell for absolute sure, from decades of "experimentation", western intervention isnt working.

All he had to do to not join the Isreali-Iran war was literally nothing

Damn, if they got "dragged" I would love to be "dragged" into owning a 50 acre woodland area with a small stream, a clearing for expanding my food garden, and maybe have a few free range chickens with a small but over-engineered house...

I didn't know you could be dragged while leading the charge...

@SoftestSapphic It may be a policy choice but often one involving Mossad false flags or Epstein Island video blackmail.

I think it's the American people that feel dragged into war.

Let's also not pretend that regimes like Iran don't need to be bombed for many good reasons.

Not the people, but the regime.

Listen, Biden isn't Netanyahu. Biden does not control Netanyahu. Biden sent weapons and ammo to Israel but also withheld large bombs bought and paid for by Israel, and white house staff leaked he would often swear at Netanyahu over the phone for the civilian casualties and attacks on Rafah. Netanyahu felt the need to travel to the US congress and beg for more assistance, he was pressured.

If you want evidence of Biden's lukewarm opposition to genocide, look no further than what is happening under Trump: tanks on the ground in West Bank for the first time in decades, babies starving, Pete Hegseth openly promoting mass exodus or death of every Palestinian.
