    That assumes binary options. How about the call for ceasefire and not fund any evil? This is the problem with western thinking lately. Everything is pick a side and dump enough money into it to guarantee millions of deaths, definitely don’t call for peace.

      Yes, and we should still call for these types of solutions, but to suppose US citizens can :vote: for a candidate who would do this is ridiculous.

      Just to finish my thought, just look back at the Vietnam war, was not politicians that stopped it, was civil unrest, and it only got to that level of unrest because American soldiers were dying, so they figure out that proxy wars are leas likely to cause that level of backlash, so if you want peace fight for it, because neither side will fight against profit for the good of mankind, if you think they will do something like that voluntarily, comrade you need to study the history of capitalism.

      Sure but the reality is that in US elections there are two candidates, and they are decided internally, the bourgeois democracy is a game of marked cards from the beginning, and will always stand with the capitalist interest, and right now genocide is profitable for the US somehow, and therefore they will not stand down, I’m not saying that it wouldnt be better to have it another way, but with what we have there is little that is up to us. This opinion of mine is based on state and revolution by Lenin, the bourgeois democracy is an illusion, its always just about the lesser evil, very little good can be expected of the guard dogs of capitalism.
