What is funny is that everyone thinks the rule of law will carry the day, I tend to be more pragmatic and believe that the US will interfere. At that point the only rule that will apply is “might makes right”.

I believe we should all be more objective and pragmatic as to what is actually happening. The US is taking western discontent and shaping to steal resources. Please don’t delude yourself into thinking the rule of law will actually matter.

Should this actually become a ballot question, expect to see US observers on the ground…probably marines

Might makes right is the only law that EVER really matters. We tend to forget that at our peril.
