Gotta claim a state of emergency somehow. How else is he gonna stop the election?
Honestly, this feels like a good thing for democracy (or at least the illusion of a democracy we have in the US), in a roundabout way.
If the US military is stuck in an Iranian quagmire, it becomes harder to use it to terrorize citizens on the domestic front. I wish they’d send the donut eaters from ICE to the front.
Not really, when we are at war the rah rah crowd that believes these pieces of shit gives them more leeway, and is less likely to buck on something like pretti’s execution.
i do not think this will stop them from attacking the statesian citizenry, i think it merely opens a new front in the war on civilians

This is fair, and I apologize.
My country has been at war everywhere for so long that I’m desensitized to it. What I wrote above was meant as an objective hypothetical, but was wildly insensitive.
I do not support war. I am just powerless to stop it, so it’s easier for me to speak insensitively about it, and I shouldn’t.
If I had any power whatsoever to stop this, I would.
