False assertion. Does deciding to spend less on military on more on social services give these supposed predators the idea they can take you down when your military is still the largest in the world? Seems like we could probably divert a si

It’s not just direct military action by the US it’s also that we support a lot of the current dictators around the world while claiming to be the beacon of democracy. But the whole point of whether we are passive or aggressive is besides th

He’s not saying no military expenditure should occur but it has to be in balance with other things. In the US, where our military more often than not is used imperialistically rather than purely defensively, while the poor are allowed to st

I'd probably go with #2, the stories you'd, eventually, be able to tell would probably be worth more than the compensation in terms of life experiences, friends, etc. and having zero expenses you'll be able to save up a good

After so many years we realize we still haven't solved any of the most important problems plaguing our species and so people just stop having children, deeming it too cruel to continue to produce more people forced to live a life just

The analysis is interesting and makes sense that populations wouldn’t largely be targeted, but it seems that’s assuming some kind of logical strategy to the war where the objective is to disable the forces of your opponent. That’s nice and
