Fair question, it's not just about the wars he starts/ends. It's about the rhetorics and the planting of seeds of conflict and hate and what becomes of it in 4 years or 10 years or 20 years.
Simple words by a country's leader could ruin relationships between nations for decades or between different parts of society.
You don't just start hating {insert favorite target jews|blacks|muslims|christians|whites} overnight, it takes time. You plant the seeds of hate and let them flourish into ethnic cleansing|holocaust|interment camps|etc.
It's our duty to nip that shit in bud right now :). We have come so far to let that sort of shit take us back.
I apologize for taking this discussion in a political direction. In any case, I think it's important for us to have a strong military and Microsoft helping our military build better weapons/systems/tools is a good thing. A strong America is a good thing - as long as we have no Trumps :)
- pnw_hazor 8y agoFair enough. I knew pushing back here on HN with even one fact would buy me some downvotes.
- maroonblazer 8y agoOne cherry-picked fact tends to earn, rightfully, downvotes.
- pnw_hazor 8y agoOrange Man Bad and all that. There is plenty to jibe at Trump about, however, starting wars is not one of them. That's the exclusive realm of professional Ivy league educated politicians and diplomats AKA our betters.
