So it is not so much a you, but a larger framing of politics as a whole.

Politics are reduced to tribalism as you pointed out. No critical thinking involved. It leads to that frustration because societies have framed politics based on teams and precedent, not on current actions or policies.

Civil society requires critical thinking and taking the time to evaluate candidates and policies. But that is time and energy that in their mind could be used on different side projects they have going on or on the grind.

You clearly have taken the time and have looked at what he plans to do.

I agree, he should not have won.
Though I would look at it in a different way, i would argue be it canadian or american left. It might not be so much narcissism of wanting to watch the world burn, but instead the banality of evil.

The times that we live in are not normal. It is reasonable to be worried.

So on the sliding scale of how much do the americans fuck up, i lean to the later scenario.

Which means that the war memorial is going to get a lot longer, Arlington is going to grow, but we will get some banger anti-war songs a few years down the road.

Conversely, the targets are not uranium refineries, but maduro himself.

The Unites States AND Israel were unable to kill the ayatollah during the conflict.

So a regime change would require boots on the ground to hunt down the leadership of Venezuela.
It would not be easy to fight in jungle terrain

The tragedy at Srebrenica shows how actions like The Medak Pocket are so important. If people put themselves in front of murderous thugs and don't give an inch, those thugs will back off. Stopping evil acts before they happen makes all the difference, afterwards all that can be done is bury bodies.

Sounds like something a king would say

So a glorified occupation by America instead of Israel.
