Even if you ignore all of the ethical concerns with this war, there's no benefit for any other nation. Hell, the only benefit for the US is as a distraction and it's now become too distracting.

Continuing the war causes oil prices to increase and also affects international trade in general. Why would I as a leader of a European nation want this situation to continue?

I can see how Trump managed to bankrupt a casino now.

The US has the largest naval fleet in the world why can't they do it? anyway I thought Iran's navy had been totally wiped out so what exactly does he need on the nation's warships for?

In conjunction with you know a fusion bomb so in and of itself not something I'd be concerned about.

It's like saying that a spark could be used to blow up a mountain, yeah it could, in conjunction with several hundred kilogrammes of C4.

The website doesn't allow for reverse translation so, er... about three fiddly?

The people who do this have no idea how AI works. They'll still lecture you on it though.

Not that they had to join the military in the first place of course. Even the Trump admin don't force conscription.

I'd be totally fine with it if they all got raptured so we didn't have to deal with them anymore.

Consent is for democracies, which is evil woke liberal nonsense.

Because they're in the military. People with options don't join the military no matter what military recruiters tell you.

Why would I join the military for terrible pay, and get shot at, when I could do literally any other job, for more money, I don't get deployed to ill equipped war zones, I get to go home at the end of every day, and don't get shot?

You have to be a certain type of person to join the military, and that sort of person is not one prone to introspection.

Yes in a few countries that's a good idea, although in the US with all its legalised bribery and regulatory capture I don't know if there's much point.

So are the bad guys also supposed to attend this training as well so everyone's on the same page? Like, what do they do with the other person has a gun, or is actually fighting to win rather than to be entertaining.

Might as well get Hugh Laurie to teach medical students.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
