But when did this become the American Intervention thread? It seems like every time I come here it's about war. Why don't we have an intervention, so it doesn't infect the regular politics thread? Don't we, in fact, have a thread such as that?
If we do, I didn't notice it. Closest I can recall would be the ISIS thread, which I don't think generalized beyond that.
... also, hate to tell you, but war is
part of the states' regular politics. It's constantly part of the rhetoric, it's steadily an issue both for the presidential candidates and others, and we haven't stopped bloody intervening since before anyone here was born. I can't really think of a better place than the ameripol thread to talk about the military side of american politics, which is a major bloody part of our country's political landscape.
E: Though the thought did occur to me it might not be as big a deal in your area, misk. Iirc you're up north, where there's comparatively less military involvement in the general population. For those of us in areas where the larger chunk of recruitment is going on, it's probably notably more prevalent.
