capitalism with lots of regulations but no unnecessary state owned businesses

I don't like the idea of absolute free markets

I think that leads to mindless consumerism, and I think the average person is too stupid to look out for companies with bad intentions

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

Is non-defensive military action/intervention ever justified? If so, under what circumstances?

No

Yes, anytime the USA sees it as fit.

Never

Possibly when genocide is taking place

INDIVIDUAL

Debatable at that case

@Froce is that all you say?

Uh

Yes, whenever the nation's interests are threatened

No no no

Absolutely. Human history is determined by the most powerful overcoming their weaker adversaries, and the fact that modern civilization does not do this is simply a temporary phenomenon. War is inevitable, as it is impossible not to threaten a nation's values at all indefinitely. This, and economic or political aggression by another country, when taken to the extreme, is potential for a retaliation

Offensive war can not be justified unless your allies are being assaulted unjustly

yes, it can

it can

lets say that a region occupied by one nation contains over 90% of your nation's citizens by nationality, and they are potentially being mistreated because of it

the nation becomes hostile when asked to remedy the situation

therefore a justification to claim that region by whatever means is justified

That just makes you a psychopath

you see, it is quite easy to tell when your neighbors, or anyone, is acting aggressive, whther it is to scare you or to literally invade you, armed conflict immidealty becomes an option. For example when Arab arms mobilized on Israel's borders in 1967 the Israeli's decided to make the first strike and bomb Egypts airforce bases to demobilize its airforce and get immideate air superiority, was it a dick move? yes but it kept it alive and that's all that matters.

hopefully my argument makes sense

I reject just war theory, so a nation can engage in military action for any reason under any circumstances

What if I told you that every time muhammad went to war it is always in response to enemy aggression?

I don’t think it is. I don’t think the well being of other peoples are necessarily our responsibility, but I doubt the long term benefits of military intervention.

It is **always** justified

AVE ROMA

i don't see how it's inherently bad

but people often tell me the irish during the latter half of the 20th century were somehow wrong for picking up the rifles to defend themselves

so you know

double standards

even tho it's sad to see human beings and their creations destroyed,war is always going to be there as long as nations have specific interests,which is almost inevitable

so I'd be in favor of countries fighting for their best interestes since going against it is beating one's head against the wall :T

Isolationism is what you need @Pino Sinatra

yeah,but how long will it last until the first asshole violates that principle and starts eating up other nations till it becomes too powerful to be stopped?

Isolationism dosent imply a weak army
