What a massive win-win for the United States and Iran alike. Here’s to peacetime!

    It’s really sad. I maintain his team are legally guilty of abuse of a vulnerable person.

      Tbh though, if he somehow DID manage to irrevocably dissolve the US military before anyone managed/dared to stop him, that would doubtlessly be a BIG net positive for the world in general 🤷🏻

        I have no argument against that, which is both valid and sound. Pity the citizens who have been voices crying in the wilderness against the madness since Benedict Arnold.

        the US military, specifically the Navy, has single-handedly created a safe global economy and the technological revolution we’ve been living in. without the massive miltary infrastructure the US maintained after WW2 we wouldn’t have advanced chipsets, medical supplies, and most countries outside of the US would likely fail. The US has made it so countries could expect a relatively safe and reliable shipping route for all the goods they import, and all the goods they export.

        I’d prefer this role fall onto something similar to the UN, but let’s be honest, military by committee doesn’t seem to work. It takes a country obsessed with wanting more (capitalism), easily defensible homeland, and a fleet stronger than every other country combined.
