    I can’t wait for the US to enter the “find out” phase. It will take some time, sure, but heh, hubris always invites nemesis.

      Yeah… Some country’s “find out” phase in history occurred only after unspeakable horrors were committed and the country was crushed jnto submission by an international coalition. So… Idk

        Yea I dont think anyone is going to enjoy the “find out” phase of this one. Maybe Putin, if he lives that long.

        The find out phase also might mean come countries with equally unhinged leaders feel emboldened to attack others, as countries start divesting from their US relations.

      I just hope the rest of the world takes mercy on those of us US citizens who just wanna live our lives in peace.

        I’m more thinking in terms of: if you turn your back on your friends, they will turn their backs to you. Specifically: NATO article 5 has been invoked only once in NATO’s history, after the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001. And we were there for you, no questions asked. Now your country is threatening a NATO ally. Tread carefully.

          I mean, I have no say in what my country actually does. I highly disapprove of it all, in fact. But I would hope that if the rest of the world kicked in our door to stop our shit, that regular citizens like me wouldn’t be in danger of being shot or whatever. I just wanna live my life, man.

              Yeah, but how can I stop the dumbass in charge from doing shit that’s bad? I voted and he still got in.

                I don’t have answers, sorry. Maybe just remind others who can vote that they need to and that any pain they feel is solely a result of that dumbass being elected, no matter who he tries to blame.
