So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    I don’t think we want to see what the world’s biggest military would do if there were large-scale attacks on American soil. This planet would be a smoking ruin before calmer heads prevailed. They lost their fucking minds for more than a decade after the WTC strikes and still haven’t recovered, and are currently backsliding.

    Man, fuck that.

        That change would only ever make things worse for everyone but Americans.

        Cause all it would do is make America pull it’s entire military budget from playing world corrupt police force. To super earth the prequel.

        Win or lose, the last group to realize war is bad will be the USA. And that’s a loss for everyone.
