In an interview with the Washington Post, Vance said he did not know whether Trump would back a military strike [!!!??!!], but said the US could engage in limited strikes in the region without ending up in a forever war.

“I do think we have to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past,” Vance said. “I also think we have to avoid over-learning the lessons of the past. Just because one president screwed up a military conflict doesn’t mean we can never engage in military conflict again.”

“We’ve got to be careful about it, but I think the president is being careful,” he added

Vance graduated with a degree in Nah Nah Can’t Hear You Blabbing On About History Give Me Power Now I’m A Baby.

    Over-learning the lessons of the past? What does that even mean? If the people in power are a sign of our civilization, we’re truly fucked.

      This is called going woke and is considered a form of death by many cultures.
