- mr90210 4y agoAs if democratic governments don't start wars. Yeah right.
- Ekaros 4y agoIf they are not declared are they wars?
- CogitoCogito 4y ago> If they are not declared are they wars? I'm not sure if this is sarcasm, but yes of course they are.
- wheelerof4te 4y agoIf history is the guide, the most "democratic" governemnt on the planet has so far started the most wars. It seems like, the more democratic you are, the more wars youstart. Except, the USA is trully a Republic. Figures, same as Rome.

- wheelerof4te 4y agoIt's a fact. Deal with it.
- LarryMullins 4y agoElsewhere in this discussion you are blaming America for Russia's decision to start a war with Ukraine. Obviously you have been steeping in authoritarian anti-American propaganda. You should probably stop doing that.
- yucky 4y agoAcknowledging the role of the US State Dept & CIA in the 2014 coup in Ukraine, doesn't require thinking Putin is a saint or even justified. But denying our role in the coup is denying reality.

- CogitoCogito 4y ago> How about, overthrowing the traitor puppet government in Taiwan and peacefully uniting with the mainland? > Oh, and yeeting the Yankies out of Taiwan. You are calling for China to go to war with Taiwan and to call it peace. Why not just be open about it? What's the purpose of pretending you're advocating peace when you're clearly advocating for war?

- rcme 4y agoAre coups typically peaceful?
- mr90210 4y agoAlmost never.
- Overtonwindow 4y agoQuite a number of nonviolent revolutions have occured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_revolution
- LarryMullins 4y agoRelatively so. The Romanian Revolution in 1989 killed less than two thousand people (including Ceaușescu and his wife, who's well deserved executions were the last executions in Romanian history.) And what was the cost of peace? Ceaușescu and his wife killed far more than 2000 Romanians every year with their brutal communist regime.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoActually I don't think that's a good scenario for the US as, if anything, that'd ultimately make China a more formidable adversary and reunification with Taiwan more likely (which the US and Japan do not want for strategic reasons).
