Jay Thurber Show"But the Ayatollah was a bad guy!"
Just because citizens of another nation don't like their leader doesn't mean they want the U.S. dropping bombs on them. That would seem to be an obvious point.
I don't like the leader of the U.S. but I don't want China dropping bombs on us in order to effect "regime change." Seems to me the quickest way to unite any country is to attack them.

@jaythurbershow You forget something:
It's only #nuclear / #VetoPowers bullying non-nuclear powers!
@kkarhan Yeah, that's actually a very good point. It's never equals. And as Paul Musgrave writes, it's virtually impossible for small nations to negotiate with the U.S. because of the power imbalance.

@jaythurbershow one cannot negotiate with fascists anyway, espechally neither Trump nor Putin nor Xi nor Kim…
- The only form of negotiation they ubderstand is being firced into conditionless surrender at gunpoint !
noldiTo: Jay and everyone else, whom it may concern, hello!
1. How about, to move from only state an opinion at Mastodon, to building a better World ...
1.1 How about, to blacklist 'making war'' in the 21 Century?
1.2 Ex.: Writing a Constitution, where 'Donald' and 'Xi' - if they have a quarrel, to enter for ex. an 'Armbeuge-Contest'? Then the winner, takes all the voters from the looser, except the sovereigns ... Without any bombing, killing, destruction ...
Internet Rando@jaythurbershow at this point, I'd almost welcome some other country doing us said favor. Especially if it set the precedent; if your leader turns capitalist pedophile nazi, we'll relieve you of them.
I'm just spitballing here, but Germany didn't solve their own problem either, way back when.
