Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

His argument is a simplification, yes, of course it's not as simple as "old man wants genocide". It's more like "old man doenst really mind genocide thst much as long as he gets to keep the influence over a proxy state and also his own home state"

That's fair, thanks for expanding. Now I ask, do you think any other US president would do the same in his shoes? Why or why not?
