  > Gosh if Kamala was elected, there'd still be a war in Iran, but we'd pretend it's different. Obama bombed Syria and no one cared.

    Still more democracy.
    And rethoric doesn't matter in international relations. It's empty posturing. When is France going to send troops to Ukraine?
    Sorry pals, this is one of the failings/successes of k12. We are taught Idealism. Words don't matter.
