Homework Explainer posted:assad offered to step down in 2012 but the us wanted a friendlier government installed via regime change so they told him and russia to gently caress off lol assad stepping down and being replaced by one of his relatives would have changed nothing. and that's assuming the offer was genuine and not just baiting so they could then turn around and say "see they didn't accept our generous offer!"

Can someone tell me why GDP growth is such a strong indicator of whether or not a candidate from an incumbent's political party will be elected? I mean the answer should be obvious, but if the population's wages are stagnating or declining, then how are they feeling that the economy is "on the right track"?

Yinlock posted:this seems like a better argument for gun control than any kind of research or million dollar ad campaign A lot of the Federalists did not want a universal militia precisely for that picture shown. Guys like Washington were quoted during the Constitutional debates basically saying militias were garbage in battle and they should never be relied upon for anything except putting down riots. The War of 1812 backed up their claims.

Basshar was a computer nerd and doting mama's boy, who was practically brow-beaten into cracking down on demonstrations with deadly force. He was never even supposed to assume the presidency, so who's to say a different figure in command wouldn't have been more flexible? Character matters in a presidential dictatorship.

I'm sure Assad would have just given out the position randomly and not to whatever relative he thought would continue his brutal regime. Totally woulda happened.

The Second Amendment clearly only applies to whites. It's why you keep seeing those youtube videos of a white guy talking with the police while the black guy open carrying the exact same weapon has SWAT called on him.

There were plenty of other black gun clubs and self-defense organizations operating in the United States during the 60s and 70s. The reason the Panthers were singled out as a COINTEL target, was because they had a successful socialist political program and were coordinating with other ethnic revolutionary movements in the Rainbow Coalition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Coalition_(Fred_Hampton)

I know this is like a thousand pages back but Focusing on the people around her making terrible calls is better for this. It doesnt need to really be said more than Hillary surrounded herself with useless people, then bounce off that to attack her remaining allies trying to cling to power.

Homework Explainer posted:hmm so we were right to not even pursue it and prolong the civil war. gotcha The civil war would have continued no matter what. The root problem is the brutality of the Baathist party, not just the brutality of the Assad family. Pandora's box was opened, there was no closing of it as long as the state of Syria remained a single party government without free elections to properly represent the will of the people, and even then I doubt that would appease the jihadists. The Iraq War is the catalyst for all of this. Short of going back in time and stopping that war I doubt anything could stop what has happened.

That's not a good reason to funnel weapons and money to the Jihadists so they can make the situation even worse. If somebody offers you a potential out, then you take it no matter how unlikely it seems. After everything else that's happened this year, we can't afford to keep making bad assumptions on assumed wisdom.
