politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, they want a civil war
I think they want a world war actually. This is all grounds to get their way so they can start trying to take what they want by force. The rhetoric has already started, his laying down crumbs so they can pick them up later and it'll will be in the back of people's minds already. Russia is testing the waters, the USA will be soon to follow.
oh, certainly not out of the question. However their own playbook determines the cultural divide between them and others is at an impasse, and they will have to make people conform, or get rid of them.
Iraq/Afghanistan? Russia is following in the steps of the US here.
What? I am talking about conquest. Wasn't aware Iraq was a US colony or that anyone ever had a victory in Afghanistan? Get your head out of your butt.
Not really. They just keep pushing in a direction that makes it inevitable and then blame the people who resist for the violence they then inflict. They would rather everyone just do what they want without complaint. But if the law is broken and someone keeps stealing all your stuff, you have to either let them or try to stop them. As soon as you try and stop them, they'll claim you started the violence. There is no winning against this, violent resistance or slavery seems inevitable.
That was always the plan, and it’s worked many times before on smaller scales, this is what they have been practicing for for literal decades now and they’ve managed to get all of their pieces into place. We have no valid options, this is going to lead to large scale conflict and there is fuck all to be done to stop it at this point. We lose or we lose fighting.
