I get the feeling, but the usa people elected him twice, and Bush twice, so assume the usa people will vote for another psychopath again. Dealing with him is a short term fix but there will be another. Think about what has to be done to inoculate yourself from people in the usa over the long term.

    Same goes for killing Khamenei, there's always someone next in line. It doesn't mean killing world leaders has no effect...

    Don't you realize how big it would be if Iran manages to kill Trump? It would mean the US President is not untouchable. No foreign actor has yet killed a US president.

    Yeah but it's like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.

    True, violence only leads to more violence. I don't believe it's ever the solution.

    However, Trump is making me question this.

    I was born naïve, but I was never that naïve. That’s the kind of pablum the oppressor tells the oppressed lest they rebel.

    What is naive about it? The only way to lasting peace is through talks. No amount of violence establishes lasting peace.

    There is no clear thing that our "oppressor" wants us to think. Pacifism being naive is the kind of thought the weapons industry wants you to have.

    This is a category error. You’re confusing the US for a democracy when it’s a dictatorship of the Epstein class, of the capitalist class. The elections are largely kayfabe.
