Do you concur with President Trump’s assertions that we need to let them fight a little bit in order for them to appreciate the fact that a peaceful agreement is way better?
That question being largely rhetorical since I think there is some wisdom in that approach. Peace through superior firepower is by far the best position to be in.
That being said, I can’t help but picture a school kid bully threatening all the kids in school because everyone is afraid to stand up to the bully. Until one day the bully is publicly humiliated by the “new kid” who desperately tries to negotiate peace between the bully and the all the victims of bullying. When the bully pushes the “new kid” too far and gets publicly PWNED lol.
The main question is this ....
Which side is the “bully” and which side is the “victim” of being bullied?
Clearly the United States is like the teacher breaking up the fight between the bully and the “new kid / negotiator” trying to resolve the bullying issue without having to involve the school principle who will just call the cops and expel both kids for fighting pending an investigation to determine who the agressor is
