Yes, sometimes it’s better to punch the bully in the face, before he knocks you out.
I suppose I am a psycholibertarian, or maybe a conservapshycho. I’d like to have a conference with the Putin and tell him he can have the Ukraine, but now he needs to settle down. While conferencing, I’d nuke the following:
Riyahd
Mecca
Medina
Tehran
Qom
Bagdad
Followed by an announcement that all Muslims are to leave the territory of the Unityed States of America. “Welcome to 1492.”
Hey Bulwyf, how do, brother?
I’m ALL for hitting the bad guys on THEIR turf, rather than waiting for them to hit Main Street USA...
It’s never a bad thing to recognize a real, lethal threat and neutralize it - forcefully, if all other methods fail.
Neutralizing Adolf Hitler in the 30s would have spared a lot of horror and death. A 20 cent bullet from an M1903A3 (or a Kar98K Mauser) could have stopped WWII before it got started.
