The Progressive Era

When people talk about war in the United States, it can be traced back thousands and thousands of years, to before the United States was declared independent. If you think about some wars that the United States has won, you think of the Revolutionary War to grant our independence, the Spanish-American War, or even the Civil War, which ultimately preserved the United States as we know it. But if we look at some wars that the United States has participated in since 1945, how many have they actually won? The United States has fought in five major wars since then. These include them spending time in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Besides the Gulf War in Kuwait, all these other wars can't be classified as a clear successful win. This to me, makes it clear that the United States can no longer win wars as they were once able to. So why are people who post anti-war posts and have websites not being shown to the public to show their thoughts?

 

To find these anti-war sources, it seems that a person would have to do some digging throughout the internet in order to find them. Two big sources that are used in the anti-war movement are Antiwar.com and The American Conservative. Both of these sites are big into posting news about certain wars that the main press are scared to talk about to the public. These kind of sites that are not shown in daily news are speaking the truth about what is really going on in the United States that the main media won't tell you. When looking at Antiwar, the site is devoted to the cause of non-interventionism and is read by libertarians, pacifists, leftists, "greens," and independents alike, as well as many on the Right who agree with our opposition to imperialism. They say that Antiwar.com is already fighting the next information war, and that they are dedicated to not letting leaders get away unopposed. The American Conservative has been around since 2002, and was created to reignite the conversation that conservatives ought to have engaged in since the end of the Cold War. Their vision is similar to Antiwars, and that they are trying to conserve what is great about America. 

I think everyone can agree when saying that no one in the United States wants to go to war, especially a nuclear one. A nuclear war would end in billions of people dying all over the world, and would provide no help to any cause. Countries like North Korea who have these super nuclear weapons need to be stopped. Although I do agree when saying that it would be very stupid to go to war with the North Koreans, but it terms of trying to stop them from ending the world, that might be something countries come together to fight for. No one wants to see another World War, because the aftermath it would bring would be catastrophic to the world.
