Then call me not man.
what if i think these governments *should* be toppled, but it is unfeasible 90% of the time
i do not believe that you are without sin though
why would you want to topple foreign governments
ccp should crash and burn
that's like going round your next door neighbors house ( who you don't know ) and stopping them from doing X, Y or Z
it's known as nosey behaviour
because they are bad for trade
who cares if they're bad for trade
that's their problem
me because i want to trade
gib trade lanes browney
oh ya i sure you want to buy all that north korean goods
@baiyn Yeah, it's kinda like this. Usually when people do that, it's either out of moral principles or for the sake of ecnomic gain. Like messing with your neighbours cause it may lead you to be able to take their car for your own or because you disagree with whatever the neighbours do (whatever it may be, from selling drugs to having garden gnomes)
So whether it's good depends on the particular cause of why who is messing with who.
also international politics
there are principles for a just war
set forth by saint thomas aquinas
could be that toppling one damages relation with an ally in such a way that is not beneficial to you
And some people I am sure want to topple governments for reasons along the lines of some of those principles, but not all
dont need war to topple a regime
fuck i guess ill do what i allways do an put neutral on the ambiguous ones
That's why it's really case-by-case thing. Though either way, usually nowadays people mess with the shit of other people because either ideology or profit.
my solution to unjust regimes is just nuke the place
if they're that unjust it's justified
if not then stop trying to interfere
No, nuking isn't justified. Huge collateral, you may cripple the regime but not destroy it but you will surely punish many innocents already suffering under the regime
**star ship troopers intensifies **
i can think of situations where nuking is justified
In some situations, sure, so can I. But not toppling regimes.
why not toppling regimes?
either the regime is that bad, or it isn't
make your mind up
Because of the abovementioned reasons. Regimes are usually shitloads of people spread all around the country, among regular citizens. Regime isn't some single figurehead
