Forget it AB4, To roustabout, using an extreme example is his childish way of arguing.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT PAINFUL AND EXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO SCREW WITH YOU: Deserves repeating The very first lesson kids need to learn about the Left is that they will NEVER leave you alone.

I wouldn't.

In most cases, wars have negotiated settlements. Territories are exchanged, concessions are made, and a new status quo is established. If you look at European borders today and wind them back over the past two to three centuries, you will immediately notice that the borders shift constantly. Here's a video showing the changes in European borders over the past millennium: I am not suggesting that every invasion and border adjustment be ratified just to stop wars. It's just that you can't fight a war against reality itself, and Russia will retain what was previously Ukrainian territory whenever this war ends. Better sooner than later, because the result will be pretty much the same. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/08/13/thank-you-captain-obvious-n3805752

Political cartoon alert, elitists please take cover !!

TO BE FAIR, WHAT ELSE HAVE THEY GOT? The Left’s Feeble Attacks on Trump’s Violent Crime Crackdown. Donald Trump has federalized the Washington, D.C. police and deployed National Guard troops to the city. Trump is arguing that the deployment is in response to a crisis in public safety. Any president in the last 40 years could have declared the same emergency in the district and deployed troops. Trump's move is perfectly legal under the authority granted by the district's Home Rule statute. But Trump's pledge to federalize the police forces of other cities like Chicago, Oakland, and Baltimore will be met with a blizzard of court challenges, given that the president cannot unilaterally send federal troops or federal law enforcement to a city without being invited. That's federalism, and Trump can't do anything about it. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser claims that Trump's actions are unnecessary because the district's violent crime rate has dropped to a 40-year low. Congratulations are in order for the mayor. D.C. crime is no longer intolerable. It's now only unbearable. Indeed, the statistics Bowser is talking about may have been more than a little cooked. The city recently overhauled its justice system, eliminating dozens of offenses and reducing others from felony to misdemeanor. Also, there is a question about the accuracy of D.C. police reporting. "Data from the US Attorney's Office shows a high rate of declined prosecutions, suggesting a potential disconnect between arrests and actual charges," according to the White House. "Fact check: Violent crime in DC has fallen in 2024 and 2025 after a 2023 spike," claims CNN. Even if this is true, does that mean that Washington, D.C. is "safe" or even "safer"? Trump's point is an important one; we shouldn't have to settle for a "reduction in violent crime." That's a statistic that's meaningless if a family member is a victim or if a citizen doesn't feel safe taking public transportation. We need to make cities safer so that the perception among residents is that they and their families feel safer. It's a point that left-wing Democratic mayors refuse to deal with, which is why Donald Trump made significant electoral inroads in urban America. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/08/12/trumps-federalization-of-dc-police-is-all-about-race-balderdash-n4942616
