Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The one thing Trump won't do is start WW3. There are only two nations with nuclear arsenals that can threaten MAD, and the other is holding his leash.
The EU would dick Putin down, and has a defensive pact as part of joining. Not to mention that there are multiple nuclear powers in the organization.
Lmao
Bro, you don't need to debate delusional people 🤣
Have you already forgotten his random assassination of that Iranian general? Or when he was trading barbs with NK, "this is the calm before the storm"?
How do you imagine either of those things provoking MAD?
Generally speaking I like to avoid wars in general, WW3/MAD or not.
That's great, but the commenter specifically claimed he was going to start WW3 culminating in MAD.
Like, literally what he said.
Yeah I'll concede that.
No, I just think human exceptionalism is disgusting. We've driven 70% of all species to extinction, and continue to drive 150 more a day. If we found an organism that kills all the other species around it permanently, we would do our damndest to eradicate it.
We're far less of a virus than any other of the animals on this planet'd be if they had our level of control over this planet. We're just incompatible with Earth, moving on to other planets is the best thing we could do for ours
