Thanks to your question, I learned something new today.

Yeah, I genuinely don't understand the point of peace talks when one side doesn't want peace.

I don't think it's the CIA doing it to us. We are just dumb as bricks and voted for this because eggs were expensive and trans people bad or something. But I don't disagree with anything else.

I sure wish someone else could CIA us for a change.

Sure, but I feel like he deserves props for refusing to go along with Jan 6 knowing full well Trump was okay with him being lynched by his mob. One of the scarier aspects to me was him refusing to get in the car with the secret service, presumably because he was scared of where Trump's secret service were going to take him.

Edit: I forgot to make it clear. He's an awful human being with awful evil beliefs, but at least it seems like he's not a fascist, just a christo-nationalist. :l

I'm confused then. What doesn't make sense to you? In my head it seems straightforward? ELI5 maybe, because I'm pretty tired today?

Problem: We should stop dictators from invading other countries.

Solution: The UK is offering to further step up to do that as a reaction to the US deciding to step down.

Because as many nations as feasible should take on the burden of stopping petty dictators from invading other countries.

Yeah, but congress would then have to impeach him, the courts can't touch him.

Yeah, but the courts explicitly can't consider the president's motive, so if he does it while president claiming it's necessary for the United States, he's free to go. It's why he got completely let off for the hush money stuff. That had nothing to do with presidential duties.

And have historically gotten them too.

Big agree. We'd definitely be getting a Model Y if it wasn't for the dogshit leadership. Instead, we are waiting for the Rivian R2 to actually come out.
