Brother Friendship posted:At this point I can't imagine that Saudi Arabia's aim is anything less than a complete famine along the lines of those seen in the 18th and 19th century throughout India and Asia. We're talking about the complete collapse of society and there is nothing that the United States is going to do about it, especially with Trump! in charge. I'm not sure if any famine from the 20th or 21st century will compare to it. i mean there's the biafran famine from 1968-70. millions dead. that's actually a great comparison because britain sent massive amounts of arms to the nigerian army, helping their blockade starve the igbo. much like the US is doing with saudi arabia now.

ThisIsJohnWayne posted:When you have a system made up of 50 different areas (states) where the majority vote wins all the areas influence (e.collage votes), you have a first-past-the-post system. Hate to tell you. do you seriously not understand that the system which forces us to consider FPTP in 50 different areas in the first place is the electoral college? we indeed have a first past the post system which is bad enough, but if it were simply a nationwide FPTP vote hillary still would have won. however, our electoral college gives massively outsized voting power to states with smaller populations. thus, at the end of the day i'd say the electoral college was the more pressing problem, and wish it could be abolished or least tied to the popular vote. replacing FPTP with even a basic instant runoff voting system nationwide is still a good idea though. MiddleOne posted:The electoral college would be fine if it wasn't built upon the foundation of single-seat districts. i've heard arguments that single-member districts have an advantage because the voters in the district have more of a connection to the individual they elected, but i'm not convinced that's worth the downsides compared to multi-member districts

Al-Saqr posted:I'm putting my money down now:- a strike isnt going to happen, and thanks to trump's bluster Americas credibility as a power projection force has been permanently destroyed. Yeah it'll be kind of funny if Trump ends up embarrassing the US's image even more than Obama's red line did. That doesn't mean I support a strike though. It'll either a) be like last year where it's ultimately for show or b) the prelude to yet another disastrous invasion and who knows what kind of response from Russia.

Spacewolf posted:Do we mean survive politically, or...survive survive? https://twitter.com/iyad_elbaghdadi/status/1052200980417323008 Sooo... both, maybe. If MbS didn't manage to kill all the threats to his power in his torture hotel, then some of them might be seeing the current situation as an opportunity to oust him.

This seems like a huge loving deal, but I wonder if the WH will try to downplay it. Their responses to past Taliban attacks have shown that they seem desperate to avoid getting more directly involved in Afghanistan. FourLeaf fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Oct 18, 2018 |
