I think Nations should take lessons from Donald J Trump on

How not to get into a full scale war and yet take the main culprit out. Vladimir could have done so long back with Ukraine but then how could it have been called a war? How would a million people die then?
Maybe there still are people who don't like Trump's move but I love it.

And from my childhood days, I always thought why Nations get into war with each other when they could minimalize it by Just taking out the president or the main king. Today, My childhood question got answered. Thanks to DJT.

I guess you never really grew up and looked at the long term implications of actions.

@DanielsASJ No worries Daniel, while we are on this trajectory there is a good chance you'll learn the hardway how simplistic you really are. And when you do, I hope you don't blame outside forces for people that put ideas into practise that you agreed with. Because Trumps faction is really strong, at blaming everything on everyone else. The party of "personal responsibility" and "meritocracy" is pretty much a joke.

@Kwek00 What I think is you don't have heart to appreciate what he has done. Russia had its war and they are being harsh on their own army as well as the army of Ukraine. Trump took that factor out. Instead of appreciating it, You are FEAR MONGERING the aftermath. I don't think you are very smart as the way you are doin is not even subtle.

@DanielsASJ What a childish way of looking at things... as if Putin, Maduro, Xi, ... and Trump too for that matter, as authoritarian leaders do everything by themselves. Just like in a comic book, you believe that if you take the headguy out, it's all over. Or in LoTR, where Sauron gets destroyed, and Mordor with all his agence sink into nothingness.

In the real world though, these regimes don't hench on one person. Most of the time, if you remove the top guy, some other person will fill in the void. All the beneficiairies of the regime, have no insentives to do anything else then what they were doing either.

And in the meantime, by performing an illegale action on the world stage, you are signaling to all those other comparible regimes, that they have to arm themselves. A bit like when the Iraq invasion happened, that suddenly a bunch of countries started thinking about nuclear deterence. Because it became clear, that they are no rules and that strong entities will just be bullying weaker entities that don't have the force to nuke the shit out of them. Which will cause another escalation in the arms race.

But in the meantime, you keep being gleefull about your childish logic, where the hero defeats the bad guy and then suddenly everyone can be super happy and no consequences will be had.

@Kwek00 Granpaw, You have zero knowledge of geopolitics or it's outdated. Sadly, I don't intend to increase it. You yourself will have to build it. For a matter of fact, Syria, Venezuela both had Russian and Chinese support.

So?

Also... no worries. I don't need lessons from hollywood or your twitter/reddit/facebook feed.

@Kwek00 I am neither interested to give you any lessons. You are free to believe and comment what you like.

@Kwek00 Tomorrow when someone occupies your home, I want you to repeat - NO WORRIES

@DanielsASJ What does that have to do with anything?


But hey, there is one thing that I'm sure off... Tomorrow, when someone attacks my country, abducts my head of state, bombs our capitol while the agressor is boasting about how he's gonna run my country and steal our natural resources. There is going to be an ignorant child on the internet, talking about how great the aggressor is, and that we'll all need to learn from them.
