General Discussion

Get it? They won't stop until we are either back to fiefdoms or dead. They will not concede because we 'won' or 'got the better of them'. What militaries do when they pull out from an advancing force is what these spoiled nepo-babies will do at the drop of a hat.

They would rather force it all to disintegrate than let anyone other than themselves have it all.

There will be no other options.

(Usual Disclosure: I am not saying we should not do such a strike. I am saying that when it has no effect, then what? Also, let me be clear. I hope to be wrong, but it seems to me that some folks are suggesting a level of rationale that I have not seen any example of from this administration. Why are you expecting them to play nice?)
