These are stupid times with stupid people in charge of making bad decisions. I've been watching these events unfold for years now. Think about who we're dealing with here. 9/11 was an inside job. The terrorist won. They print the money. As crazy as it may seem, I think that world peace might be possible if China & Russia are able to put the US in its place soon rather than later. The US empire is in decline anyway, might as well hasten the process. As long as we can avoid nuclear war, thing might be better on the other end of this thing, more cooperation between nations, etc.

Heads up: WWIII is a nuclear war.

It will be a financial war first. And it will be the first war in modern history where rich people bear the brunt of the costs. At that point, they will either cut their losses or double down with nukes.
I understand the point you are making I truly do. I have been an antiwar hippie my whole life. I marched in a number anti war protests. And until recently, I have always advocated for a peaceful solution. But I've also realized that it's time to accept that there are just some evil motherfuckers out there who need to die. Most of them work for Brookings Institute, many other are the fucking tools who surrender their bodies to fight for the elites. The world could really benefit from purging the most violent and corrupt among us. Syria seems like a good place to start.
Again, I'm not advocating for war. I'm accepting the inevitable. War will happen regardless of my commentary on Voat. But the current world power dynamic is not sustainable and that is largely due to the US and Israel being psychopathic dickwads.
