I don’t disagree, but you’ll have to take that up with the Pew Research Center. Unfortunately this is kinda their area of expertise, haha

As a high propensity voter, and former young person, I too remember being offended by this insinuation. However, the data on the 18-29 voting block shows generally lower turnout and has remained largely unchanged within my lifetime.

Pretty sure this post is a Nintendo Switch ad.

nobody will enter on Israel’s side (no middle eastern despot would fight with Israel and survive the week) so yeah.

Perhaps not directly, but if America steps up it’s involvement, they will be relying on their relationships with allies in the region to do so.

I think the lens of a localized, regional war in the Middle East is becoming too narrow. If we’re escalating things to the point of America’s direct and significant involvement (beyond shooting missiles out of the sky, but rather conducting its own attacks on Iran), then I think Iran’s potential allies extend beyond the region as well.

Most likely Russia first, as it’s already in a proxy war with the US/West.

Potentially China, but not likely until it’s most advantageous for them to do so. Or perhaps they’ll enter opportunistically, such as attacking Taiwan if America’s Naval might is sent to the Gulf, opening a potential three front war.

The economic connection between these three has continued to grow in recent years, and may be reason enough.

No no no, you don’t understand. We’re just de-escalating through escalation.

I wish this was /s rather than a direct quote…

The British gave time, the Americans gave money, the Soviets gave blood.

The Russian capacity to throw seemly endless bodies toward a goal is virtually part of their mythos. The above quote is from Stalin in regards to defeating the Nazis. The situation couldn’t be more different, other than in the propaganda coming from Putin.

Forgot the part where management also says use it or lose it, your vacation no longer rolls over, and your vacation bank now has an expiry date. But thanks again for all your hard work.

Why have you forsaken me?

Well yes because America had been pushing North Korea away.

The classic American imperialists refuse to accept that by sanctioning a country into oblivion they will now just join China and Russia’s side.

Most Americans don’t even know why North Korea is so hostile. We bombed them into oblivion during the Korean war.

What the fuck is this revisionist history?

North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, after the South refused Northern rule. The UN stepped in (90% American forces) pushing the North Koreans nearly to China’s borders, at which point China entered the war, and resulting in the 38th parallel armistice border we have today.

North Korea wasn’t pushed into China’s welcoming arms due to American anti-nuclear proliferation sanctions of the last twenty years, and “being bombed into oblivion” is often the result of picking on countries with bigger allies than you, just ask Germany and Japan.

China has propped up the Kim dictatorship dynasty for the last 70 years, feeding their starving masses while the Kims focus the country’s resources on military spending, including nuclear development to substantiate their annual saber rattling. Allowing China to maintain a buffer state, that’s kept the West at bay since 1951.

50 US Marines, of which he is their Commander in Chief.

North Korea has been an American rival since 1950. Imagine if any other President had done this.

But you don’t even have to, just look at the response to Obama bowing to the emperor of Japan, an ally.

I always thought it was a tbsp of maple syrup a day to take care of a canadian problem

All research and successful drug policy

Shows that treatment should be increased

And law enforcement decreased

While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences

Seems weird to seize our own arms shipments though, assuming “we” are American, German, British, French, Australian, Canadian, etc…
