"Our military is a force that underwrites global stability and our national security."
Kamala Harris
@AkomoCombine There's a documentary series on the BBC that I downloaded. It asks whether the US should be the world's policeman.
I mean, who do you want it to be? Russia? China? The UN is useless.
Can one use religion?
Been there, done that too- the Crusades, the Caliphate, the Mongol invasions.
Hundreds of thousands died.
@LiberalLibrarian @AkomoCombine can the UN be revamped to carry a bigger stick?
It needs to want to reform. That cant be done until nations get their own houses in order first.
@Hopeful @AkomoCombine Also, the UN as it currently stands is prey to the whims of autocracies like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and so on.
@LiberalLibrarian Steady leadership is required in the West at this point in time - history is watching. @Hopeful
@LiberalLibrarian
No one else will take that role. The role requires a democratic country.
Fascists and communists tried it themselves in the 20th century.
Both fell flat on their faces.
Hundreds of millions died.
