    Iran can draw more aggro if they want but theyre getting pretty fucked as is and probably dont want anymore countries pilling on.

    China doesnt care about iran and theyre winning by not being involved while the other super powers get bogged down in war and internal conflict.

    Russia doesnt have anything left to increase vs Ukraine unless it goes nuclear.

    WW1 was started because both Austria-hungry and Germany (partly) wanted a war. The assassination was the excuse and not the reason.
















  • punishing Zionists wouldnt be possible without subduing Isreal through a literal war. Something that is not often attempted.

    What is your threshold for often?

    The best way to punish them is to give Isreali left wingers and “out” which allows them a path back to normalcy so they can take political power and condition that with punishment of high ranking war criminals and a two state solution. But this cant really happen due to the current US admin.

    People will fight to the death if they’re backed into a corner but they will throw a few people under the bus if given a path out.

    But if by Zionists you mean anyone who wants isreal to exists then you are backing isrealis in to corner and guaranteeing the conflict continue to be played out.



  • I think its the fault of bad leadership and a culture that values individualism and “wild west” kind of isolation. Its also tough because America is huge its no wonder people in Texas dont care about people in new York, they’re a world away. Its sad, I feel for the people in America right now. I’m not sure how theyre going to get past this but i think they can. Its going to take a ton of change from the government and the people.


  • Most countries “have plans” thats not the problem. The problem is threatening them publicly.

    Its the militaries job to prepare for any event that might happen that includes times when taking another country might need to be done. I’m pretty sure the nz government probably has a plan to invade Australia just in case they need it.


  • You can’t. Unfortunately democracies are run by the people. But think about the alternatives. At least democracy has a choice to not vote for him or vote him out in other systems that option may not be available.

    America isnt fucked because of capitalism. I believe its fucked because of the American people. I believe their government does reflect their views in the way it was designed. I’d say the only way America could stop a person like Regan getting in is to convince people that those ideas are bad and to not vote for anyone like that. Easier said than done but not impossible.

    Other government systems that allow smaller parties are in my opinion far better because they can reflect more views at a single time and force major parities to address popular issues. Other capitalist countries are not like America and while life isnt perfect and there is still inequality they still enjoy a decent quality of life and a fair society to operate in.
