The country is in a cold civil war. If these people keep losing I’m a bit concerned they may try a “french revolution” style revolt. Not that they’ll win, but I’d rather this war stay cold.
I’d rather rip off the bandaid fast and crush them, and end their nonsense.
I am not sure that I really care whether it stays cold or not. I would prefer that if it is go “hot”, it happens now. I would rather fight the good fight that have my daughter have to do it later.
Just a thought.
