Iraq war moment.

His history is… uh… concerning, to say the least (though the Nazi tattoo thing is bogus), but still can’t be worse than a corporate dem.

And BTW I totes am a Russian propaganda bot here to destroy the currently thriving American democracy.

Me in a recent reply to one of these.

but you have to respect them for that reason alone, above all else.

No, baby killers should burn in hell.

How will they be after it is all said and done?

Nothing will happen to them, except maybe purging the most obnoxious Trump loyalists. People “volunteer” for the military for the money, so they’ll just keep doing that.

That sounds nice, let’s do that.

The thing is that Germany was a land empire; to expand they had to piss off and/or invade their powerful neighbors. America can do whatever the heck it wants and as long as they don’t do something dumb like attack China they’ll be left mostly to their own devices. Hell, I’d bet good money that the EU won’t lift a finger if they annex Greenland. We’re looking at more of a Franco or Sukharto situation.

Ah, yes, everyone knows reading comprehension is actually Russian propaganda.

We don’t fucking CARE! GOOD! Prosecute the criminals! It doesn’t matter what side they’re on politically!

You don’t care, but the people in power do. That’s the point I was making.

Yes, both sides are in fact bad but that’s not really the point I’m making here. Please work on your reading comprehension.

That’s not my point. If Democrats seriously attack Trump on this, he’ll hit back by attacking them for supporting Obama, and establishment Democrats won’t throw their man under the bus. Ergo, nothing will happen. Screw Obama, but that’s not the argument I’m making here.

Edit: Aaand there it is.

That’s not how the US establishment rolls. Both sides will protect their man and that will be it.

Even before the USA was kaput, double tapping became typical US strategy under the Obama administration, which makes me even more confident that nobody will face any consequences for this. To try Trump they’d have to try Obama.

It sounds nice, but I think this is a wash.

That is really not how that works. Reformers are nice, but it’s usually more militant leftists who actually get things done through direct action.

Culture? Language? Skin color? Fucking names?

No, but Ben Gurion absolutely was.

Uh… The Nakba was committed by secular atheists. Stop trying to pin this on religion.

America’s actions are relatively fresh,

At the risk of being annoying as shit, that is not true. The only fresh part is that Europeans and/or white people are feeling a small part of the heat too.

the Republicans who are presently in charge also didn’t get rid of the filibuster to end the shutdown like Trump asked them to.

Yes, because the Democrats folded.
