    At this point we either fight or accept end of US as a democracy.

    I really wish we could stop all the pussyfooting and just get to the actual open conflict portion on the program already. It’s obviously what both sides want at this point, let’s cut the shit and just do the fuckin thing already.

      A frequent occurrence with forced regime change is trading out one evil for one or more worse evils. Check out Sudan’s history. It’s not at all easy to build a democracy, so the establishment is rightly hesitant to just scrap this one, as direly troubled as it is.

      Odds are we’re just going to coast BAU into oblivion.
