Counterpoint: All of 20th and 21st American history outside of WWI and WWII. The US never declared war on Iraq or Afghanistan.
Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.

Hell, they gave it to Henry fucking Kissinger.


I mean in principle sure, but this has been happening for almost a year now and barely any escalation has happened. At this point protests are acting as release valves more than anything else.


The generation of Gazan children that lived through the war will likely be the most traumatized, both physically and mentally, in the world. I don’t want to even think about the generational trauma that will result from this.


I agree with you, but you should only comment once so you don’t flood the thread.


Oh the supreme court is rotten no argument there, but he’s not being tried by the supreme court, at least not yet. The regime would have to appeal decisions at multiple levels before getting there, and by that point it won’t matter anymore.


I expect a kangaroo court.
I don’t. The US justice system isn’t that compromised just yet. It’s only really stacked against the poor; if you can pay enough (which Maduro presumably can) you should be able to expect a somewhat fair trial.


If you’re from the US, then that someone is you and your fellow Americans. If you’re not, then you’d need (a lot more) Americans to get off their asses first, which I wouldn’t bet on personally. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better.


The problem runs a lot deeper than who’s running, but if the DNC was the kind of party that would let someone like Walz run for president then yeah Trump wouldn’t be president.


the Iranian government spent all its resources in their nuclear and missile programs and just hoped that the decade long tend in reducing rainfall would reverse. It didn’t.
They definitely mismanaged the crisis, but this is a false dichotomy. In the past few decades Iran has been investing into its water infrastructure; it’s just that their investment priorities weren’t “make sure Iran will be habitable by 2050.” This is corruption and lack of political will, not a lack of funds.
Absolutely not, this camel can take a lot more of these.
