US has a blanket-policy, that they NEVER bargain with terrorists: once you “appease” 1 of them, then the ALL are certain of their terrorism’s “rights”.
US’s policy is simply to break them.
Nonfatally if possible, but there’s no moral/ideological problem with killing them.
The US … I expect only 1/3rd of the US’s population to be left alive, after US Civil War Part2, & the ever-escalating ClimatePunctuation has finished trashing things, these next years…
When ww3 begins, the ContinuousHammerfall stage of The Great Filter ( 2035-ish ), I expect not 400,000,000 citizens in the US, but 4/3 hundred-million citizens left alive.
133,000,000-ish.
Maybe the remnant left alive will understand the stakes, then…
as I’m “sure” the rest of the world will, by then ( not a chance in hell, iow ).
Socio-political-pressure NEVER kept humankind honest.
Not in the old-testament, not in the new-testament, not in the mahabharata, not in the buddhist, or shinto, ar any records.
IF humankind survives The Great Filter, THEN objectivity is going to be LAW among the survivors, however few they are.
