    If you permit me a little generational warfare, as a treat;

    it's really funny having grown up with Gen-x and older millennials insisting themselves to be different from their parents/grandparents, only for so many of them to immediately default to the same Cold War mentality as soon as the "end-of-history" pretext collapses.

      After seeing each president talk hot shit about “forever wars” and wanting to end them, only to prolong them and cause more carnage, and then everyone cheering for it, I just assume every American will keep supporting bloodshed for a very long time

    Whiplash is for people too uneducated to be a Politics Understander.

    A truly enlightened liberal can talk about both things at the same time 😏

    I thought the point of capitalism was to deliver cheap consumer goods people wanted? Oh what's that? I guess it was just creating shareholder value all along.

    So they’ll get the cuck shed out with it being the entirety of NATO and their major non-NATO Allies like Argentina and Japan.
