@NoContextHumans That's a weird job.
Serving others for the opportunity to beg for money.
Going with the guilt messaging on the rich and shame on the poor. Bold strategy.
Why would an employer put their staff through that?
@Dark_Tidings___@TheGarlandNixon America could not make Iran a sheet of glass and not become the worst terrorist regime in the history of the world.
Despite sitcom quality performances in their political sphere. America is still a rational place, with rational people.
@realgeorgie@World_Affairs11 You're very optimistic.
This 1 week Iran attack has already evolved into a sustained regional conflict with no end in sight.
Do you not think this might not go global?
What are your thoughts on energy security disruption causing nations to initiate additional conflicts?
@trooper_cobb@zainabReza_13 Humans are like water they'll follow the path of least resistance. There will always be plunder.
Unless nations educates their people, maintains a society that believes in virtue and maintain a strong deterrent. Else there will be conflict or the worst conflict, wars of plunder.
@SpaghettiKozak@TamerlaneD22553 It just baffles me that the US would rail against immigration in Europe then start another war in the middle east. Just another layer of their hypocrisy.
@SpaghettiKozak The lives that benefit from a good foreign policy and strong unified defense are numerous...and those that can maintain peace are the unsung heroes of history.
@SpaghettiKozak Well a portion of immigrants were kindof ordered...and arrived as asylum seekers.
"Ohh..let's destabilize them, bomb Libya...and I'd like some Syrian refugees..."
"It's not fair that saddam keeps those Iraqis caged up.."
Bomb third world countries get third world refugees.
@noclador And because I didn't make the point strongly. Strategic independence gained if Canada can domestically produce is a factor. Which can be invaluable to an ally. The US was late to wwi amd wwii.
It's complicated...
@noclador Cost is a consideration, but an honest evaluation.
Can the F35 offer the patrol range required? Cost per unit and over term, fleet size realistically affordable, suitability as the 3rd priority in an integrated defense.
Use in deterrence, escalation...or im attrition warfare.
