Perhaps America can do that but can America take on Russia and China together? Does America really want to piss off those two to the point of war? I doubt it. For one thing, Trump is a hit and run actor, sending small groups to attack and back off, not one for an enduring war. In case you hadn't noticed, he wants to pull out of Afghanistan, Syria, etc. And Iran is rated 14th in the world for military strength, Russia is rated at 2, and China is rated at 3rd in the world and Trump seems intent upon pissing off a lot of the rest, so good luck getting help from Europe, Canada, and the "shithole countries".
You regressives can't seem to clue in to people's personalities and the motives and behaviours behind events. It's pretty interesting.
Do you believe Russia and China are allies ?

I don't believe much of anything. I think Russia hates the USA and China sometimes thinks it is a useful idiot.
It is possible they could ally themselves against a common enemy.

There is no 'right' v 'left': it is Trump and the oligarchs against the rest
I keep hearing that the Democratic party has moved “left” and that Democratic candidates may be “too far left”.
But in an era of unprecedented concentration of wealth and political power at the top, I can’t help wondering what it means to be “left”.
A half-century ago, when America had a large and growing middle class, those on the “left” sought stronger social safety nets and more public investment in schools, roads and research. Those on the “right” sought greater reliance on the free market.
But as wealth and power have concentrated at the top, everyone else – whether on the old right or the old left – has become disempowered and less secure.
Safety nets have unraveled, public investments have waned and the free market has been taken over by crony capitalism and corporate welfare cheats. Washington and state capitals are overwhelmed by money coming from the super rich, Wall Street and big corporations.
So why do we continue to hear and use the same old “right” and “left” labels?
I suspect it’s because the emerging oligarchy feels safer if Americans are split along the old political battle lines. That way, Americans won’t notice they’re being shafted.
In reality, the biggest divide in America today runs between oligarchy and democracy. When oligarchs fill the coffers of political candidates, they neuter democracy.
The oligarchs know politicians won’t bite the hands that feed them. So as long as they control the money, they can be confident there will be no meaningful response to stagnant pay, climate change, military bloat or the soaring costs of health insurance, pharmaceuticals, college and housing.

Empire building? THat quit in the 70s. Fact is the US id the only country with the balls to stand up to pissant terrorists. Most of the rest of the world's leadership will still be sucking up to the terrorists while their wives and children are being raped and murdered by the same terrorists.

Yeah, it's quite refreshing to see someone with the moxie to stand up for what's right, even if he does go a bit overboard at times. We're not going to find anyone who's perfect! Certainly not our limp wristed leader!

I think Trump should have had his knuckles rapped when he got the Iranian jerk knocked off. While he was in the neighbourhood he should have made it a two some and got that Assad, the sad asshole from Syria at the same time!

no.he does not......but he sure endorses killing, assassination............with no regard to consequences or consequences be damned. It is bloody stunning.......that this kind of attitude exists. Canadians as a rule are not war mongers.........and support peaceful solutions even if it takes longer. So this attitude is quite shameful.

Yep you are right "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" Hell even the Americans and Russians came together in WW2 to defeat Nazi Germany. Anything is possible.
