I'm not saying go out and kill them, I'm saying always be ready to kill anyone who would kill you. . . . And have the bigger gun! Again, not sure how you miss this with the likes of Putin and Xi proving that "these people" didn't end with Hitler and Stalin. I mean, we could try putting daisies in their gun barrels, or we can make it crystal clear that anything you do to us we will do to you 100-fold! That's how you keep clowns like Putin in their holes. It's the only damn thing people like that understand.
Cool dude. Then send Vlad a bouquet of flowers. I'm sure Ukraine will be free the moment the delivery is made. Needless to say, if Ukraine had more and bigger guns, this invasion probably doesn't happen or is an even worse failure for Russia. P.S. On that note, they were clearly wrong to give up their nukes 20 years ago.
If you think that, might as well go MAGA, because the Trumps of the world are gonna be the ones that convince people that we will bring the fury "100-fold" if you mess with us, if that is the mentality we should operate under. Like your idea is just to get our own Putin so Putins dont happen. But our Putin will be for us you see!
How do you think Putin's come to be? Evil dudes just pop up to do bad things? Or were they humiliated in the game of dominance, and then decided they needed a guy who could dominate to restore their national psychology? Just gonna be a world of Trumps and Putins if everyone is concerned with being dominated or dominating others.
No, simply because there is a difference between competent and incompetent. MAGA clearly being the latter. In fact, they're SO incompetent, they're actually worse than the alternative. I mean, Greenland? How stupid can you be?
Yeah, those CCP folks are so sweet. We can simply ask nicely and I’m sure they’ll stop the genocide of the Urghurs. China Uighurs: All you need to know on Muslim 'crackdown'. Oh, sure, that’s internal. How about - The Hundred-Year Marathon? China’s plan to dominate the world by 2049.
I don’t even consider Trump all that strong on defense actually because he’s too easily manipulated. I don’t blame people for attacking us either. It makes sense. It doesn’t mean i root for them. Regardless, i don’t see your point. At no point in human history have there been altruistic societies or nations that long survived. Maybe there is a Star Trek utopian future out there but it’s not now and pretending otherwise doesn’t accomplish anything.
No empire has survived either, so what is your point? All the countries that have done the things you say are normal havent survived either, especially the ones that have gone balls out in pursuit of domination.
Listen you’re casting quite a few stones here while living in a glass house. Unless you are posting here as a citizen of a non-western country that is on the raw deal end of US hegemony I really don’t understand what you’re posturing about. Yes the U.S. is potentially no different from any other empire that has ever existed. Also maybe things are different now because of technology. I don’t know it’s an interesting thing to debate. Also no nation has ever had the geographical advantages the U.S. has. Lots to debate about U.S. hegemony and potential futures. But assuming those who favor military superiority is somehow simple minded or wrongheaded is not supported by literally thousands of years of human history. Is it cruel and terrible? Yeah. No argument. If I could design it myself I’d use US might to make the world a better place where everyone could feel free and safe but alas there appears to be too much greed in the system for that to be possible for everyone, even within the U.S. it all sucks idk what else to say.
Like Russia wanting to cut Ukraine down to size or China wanting to assimilate Taiwan? that's like saying only guilty people need attorneys
