        What you are suggesting is really shared terrorism where both sides keep committing war crimes. Oh, actually, that sounds like any war the US has been involved with so I guess that works.

          The fact is it is possible to fight back against a stronger foe and win if it comes to that. Again I am responding to your original comment. I think most sane people stuck in the US right now are aware that we’re living in a tinderbox. To be clear I didn’t suggest anything I just simply stated through anecdotal evidence that it is possible to stand up to a larger force and win. Like everyone else I don’t want harm to come to the people I love but that’s not always something we can choose.

                How many innocents will they take from us if we do nothing?

                Who are “they”? Who are you fighting against exactly? You’re not happy with a small historical bump and are crying about fighting against tyranny. So, who are you going to oppose here?

                  So you can’t figure out who I’m talking about despite that I’m openly stating it? And you’d rather beat that dead horse than any point I make. Cool. No point in talking to you then.

                    If you can’t say directly, then you don’t have a position. If you feel the need to attack someone rather than engage, then you are not acting in good faith. “If you don’t know then you’re dumb” is a fairly narcissistic take.

                    And you’d rather beat that dead horse than any point I make.

                    This is you being unwilling to engage. “It’s obvious and the problem is you for not knowing it already”.
