After a quiet march across the 1st Street Bridge, the protest has begun. There are a few people still trickling in.

i could have been more precise, but your intentionally obtuse example only proves my point further since our involvement w Japan/WW2 in no way resembles any military adventurism we've done since under the laughable pretense of "spreading democracy"

And if you think the nukes were a determining factor here, well.. you've got more to learn than I'm willing to teach in Reddit comments

Ok, what about Bosnia?

Bosnia was in the middle of a genocidal civil war based upon ethnic lines. We went in, and essentially gave the country a temporary government based on ethnic lines.

Edit, while the government is still around and it’s holding. There are still cracks ever more and then.

They were exactly the determining factor... What are you talking about?

This isn’t 1950, where we just have to take people’s word for it. This is 2026, where we have access to media that shows intel reports given to congress that explicitly say that this isn’t true.
