places like North Korea I would tell them to put up or shut up and tell them to hit a target somewhere in the middle of the Pacific.

I'm honestly willing to waive my principles of allowing for the self-determination of sovereign nations in the case of the saudis

they're a medieval fucking theocratic cancer and need to be forcibly brought into the modern era

We should just leave Saudi Arabia alone

the house of saud needs to be fucking deposed and its patriarchs fucking hung

but this would amount to declaring war on ~~literally~~ nearly every country on earth, ~~(don't need to worry about the French after all)~~

I would be more then willing to pull all US troops back to the US and the US only.

return the rule of arabia to actual ethnic arabs

I have a solution

Lets bomb the backwards countries into modernity

Works every time

We should just withdraw all soldiers from the middle east

US intervention is the cause of most problems

not a cause, but certainly a catalyst for worse outcomes

And a significant amount of the terrorism that has occurred has been inspired by the US occupying countries

to be fair, the last place that got nuked gave us anime, so I'm not against the idea.

still, only two options are acceptable at this point

"And a significant amount of the terrorism that has occurred has been inspired by the US occupying countries"
I'm quite sure that's just an excuse, these people would have done the terrorism one way or the other.

either pull the fuck out, completely, and cut them the fuck off from all trade and weapons sales

or take every last red-blodded american military asset and point them at the actual head of the fucking jihadi snake

"everything or nothing"
I agree, it is a waste to only go half way on the world stage.

tell the EU to deal with it, they have ambitions of world domination.

so far, half measures is all we're getting out of trump

on foreign policy anyway

half measures is the sad reality of democracy, especially with the diametrically opposed parties we have.

two-party system is fake and gay

not really much to be done about it in my lifetime.

it sucks but I don't expect it to cange.

The two party system can't really be changed unless you are willing to change the electoral system significantly

and I wouldn't trust the people in power to fix something like this.

The reason we have the two party system is because it would be a complete waste of time to vote for any other party in an actual election so you would likely need some kind of Proportional representation in order to change that

that or have a proper system to remove and redistribute the delegates from the weaker candidates.

but again, I don't trust them to fix it.

I'm quite sure the original system actually had the states electing delegates and then those delegates electing the president.

and not just because fast communication wasn't an option.

its more centered on the voting process itself. 'first past the post' by its nature whittles down all but two competing parties

seems to be the case.

They could change it to be an STV voting system but it would make counting the votes very difficult to do

its rather insidious how it does so, too, because it relies on the mentality of 'voting against' rather than voting for

yah it could.

ranked choice voting would likely be a beneficial fix
