We're willingly getting dragged into a major war by a client state that started the thing. What a fucking mess. I didn't vote for this shit.

They voted for the worst person you could possibly choose for president.
That's the part that still amazes me, a decade after he was first elected. If you asked someone 15 years ago "Who in popular culture should not be in charge of the most powerful country in the western world?" the answer would have had a high probability of being this piece of shit. What is inherently wrong with a culture that elects this fucking trainwreck TWICE?
Honest stupidity bordering on developmental issues plus a complete lack of morals and fixed ideology which means anything goes as long as it seems popular (sheep stay with the herd).
Reminds me of Stellaris. Fucking vassal states. What genius left the 'can declare war' setting on ?
Worse, some dumbass set the "Join their wars" to "All" instead of "None"
Can Determined Exterminators become vassals? I thought they didn't do stuff like diplomacy with anything but their own kind?
Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez.
That thread was a mess but exactly what is expected from the sort of people enabled by spez.
The obvious solution is to only vote for server side solutions voted on by users.
If your “client” state provokes a war for you to get involved in, that makes you the client state.
When shit gets real they “didn’t vote for it.” I cannot think of a more irresponsible group of idiots than republicans.
No no no, they're the party of "personal responsibility", remember? And "family values", right? They have no core values, they're a cult and will believe whatever their propaganda networks tell them to.
Why are you linking to reddit?
Just to piss you off.
Representative democracy isn't about voting "for this shit", it is about electing a king who then do whatever he pleases. And it isn't the USA problem, it is the "representative democracy" problem. It is just happen that you have a remarkably stupid king at the moment.
If you voted Democrat or Republican you 100% voted for this.
You've sat through an entire generation now of presidents just deciding to involve us in wars, and in fact, several wars at once.
"I don't know how first past the post works"
Democrats: 1 + 1 = 2, Republicans: 1 + 1 = 3, Moderates: 1 + 1 = 2.5.
Bothsidesrthesame!!!
The irony of your reply is that the only modern president to purposely disengage us from Bush and Obama's entrenched wars was Donald, most notably in Syria and Afghanistan. Obama even started calling US soldiers 'advisors' so he could keep tens of thousands deployed in Iraq and still pretend the war was over.
But you're just going to ignore that and pretend that, sure, Democrats are the rational ones when it comes to US wars.
