History repeats. Hitler lost about the same amount after he took political power. Also took just over 10 years for his political career to turn into a fascist terrorist cult. “I know the past and can tell the future, its the same as our history”
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, "Never play fair in a game where others cheat." It doesn't mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they'll throw dirt.

There is an actual theory in political science called the nuclear peace theory or deterrence theory.
I always found it valid.
But you’d have to have a lot of faith that nuclear-armed state actors are rational. I think Iran is more measured and rational than the west has been lately. Maybe we need to denuclearize Israel instead?
Anyway, these conversations are important, inoffensive and fascinating.
Let them get mad. Who cares? Be free.
