@scottysgotagun @kaputothe13thmo @caitoz @MarkYoungTruth Just more deflection. If you can’t engage with the points, say so. Dismissing doesn’t make you right.

You're irrelevant to any worthwhile conversation, goodbye.

Keep your scum bag nose out of our business

At this point if you're in the US military you have a moral obligation to start refusing orders. Desert. Become a conscientious objector. Ideally, get everyone together and launch a full-scale military coup. We're in "Mad King" territory. Someone's gotta do what needs to be done.

@PoliticalShrmp @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Deterrence exists because something would be costly or risky not because it’s guaranteed to happen. The whole point is to keep it that way.
History is full of ‘that would never happen’ moments until it did. So why remove deterrence and take that risk?
English
@la84097 @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick but again, NK and China would literally never invade Japan, that would be immensely stupid even if there werent US troops there. Its a deterrence against something that would never happen anyway
English
English
@PoliticalShrmp @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Japan isn’t subservient it’s a sovereign country that chooses the alliance because it benefits its security. They’ve repeatedly renewed and supported it themselves.
Also, if it was just imposed, why has Japan strengthened not weakened the alliance over decades?
English
@la84097 @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick because their government is subservient to the US, which created their current government in the first place

@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher Iran’s nuclear program has been monitored for decades by the IAEA and independent experts.

@la84097 @KobieThatcher 30 years of lies does show persistence yes

Trump has called out allies again for not helping the US.
"It's not just NATO. You know who else didn't help us? South Korea didn't help us. You know who else didn't help us? Australia didn't help us. You know who else didn't help us? Japan."
English
@cljping @PoliticalShrmp @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick And if you weren’t so brain dead yourself you would’ve been able to answer my original question. If it’s pointless, why does Japan keep It (maintain and renew the alliance)?
English
@la84097 @PoliticalShrmp @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick North Korea? China?
Seriously, do you really think that if either country had the slightest intention of invading Japan or firing missiles at Japan, that 50k useless fat US soldiers would be a deterrent?
Give me a fkn break.
Why are you people so brain dead.
English
@cljping @PoliticalShrmp @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Deterrence isn’t brute force, it’s readiness, power projection, and alliances. U.S. troops in Japan make any hostile action far riskier for NK or China.
English
@PoliticalShrmp @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick NK tests missiles knowing U.S. forces and Japan’s defenses will respond. Deterrence isn’t about stopping tests, it’s about preventing real attacks.
English
@la84097 @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick because that clearly isnt working that way, NK still tests missiles by firing them over Japan, no amount of US troops in Japan can do anything to deter that
English
@PoliticalShrmp @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Deterrence works by threat, not action. U.S. forces in Japan signal that any aggression by China or NK would face a strong, immediate response.
English
@la84097 @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick how though? US troops in Japan cant do anything to China or NK unless they land in Japan, and deterrence without consequence is not deterrence
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher 30 years shows persistence, not a one-off. Iran has consistently advanced its nuclear program, which is why it remains a global concern.
English
@la84097 @KobieThatcher 30 years of trying isn’t ’steadily’
English
@scottysgotagun @kaputothe13thmo @caitoz @MarkYoungTruth Deflecting with insults usually means you’ve run out of arguments. Try focusing on the actual issue.
English
@la84097 @kaputothe13thmo @caitoz @MarkYoungTruth Why are you bringing up Trump now, trying to change what you said for a fourth time.
Run out of arguments! No, I'm just trying to keep up with what you keep changing.
Where's that insect repellent.
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher Correct, Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon but the concern isn’t a catchy ‘week away’ claim. It’s that Iran has steadily enriched uranium to near weapons-grade levels.
English
@la84097 @KobieThatcher The facts are they don’t have a nuke and haven’t been ‘a week away’ from making one for the past 30 years
English
@PoliticalShrmp @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Deterrence isn’t just invasions. U.S. forces stop missiles, coercion, and aggression, keeping Japan safer even without a full-scale war.
English
@la84097 @cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Deter them from what? Do you seriously think NK or China would ever try to invade Japan?
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher Just to be clear, I’m not talking about personal worry, I’m talking about factual concern.
English
@la84097 @KobieThatcher If you are actually concerned that’s hilarious
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher Warnings started decades ago and that’s why sanctions, inspections, and diplomacy were used. Iran’s ongoing enrichment keeps the concern real.
English
@la84097 @KobieThatcher If they were concerned they would have done something 30 years ago when Netanyahu started repeating ‘they are a week away from nukes’
English
@scottysgotagun @kaputothe13thmo @caitoz @MarkYoungTruth I didn’t ‘change’ anything there’s a clear difference between nukes, enriched uranium, and nuclear capability. This isn’t about Trump, it’s about factual distinctions and why the world monitors Iran’s program. Run out of arguments have you?
English
@la84097 @kaputothe13thmo @caitoz @MarkYoungTruth Oh, changed a 3rd time.
Nukes to enrichment & now nuclear capability.
You're deep into Trumpspeak I see.
Don't start with international agreements, USA are the leaders of not honouring agreements.
You are dismissed, goodbye
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher Global concern to nations directly threatened by Iran’s nuclear/missile programs, its neighbours, the U.S., Europe, and Middle East allies.
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher It’s about capability and stability, not a week away line. If it’s nothing, why has it been a global concern for decades?
English
@la84097 @KobieThatcher Mutual security? Are you referring to the nukes they have been ‘a week away’ from developing for the last 30 years?
English
@DanWort77392978 @KobieThatcher It’s not about dying for others, it’s about mutual security. Australia has backed allies before. Do you think we’re safer alone?
English
@KobieThatcher Why do you want our soldiers to die for a foreign country who can’t even say why they started a war kobie? Are you first in line to go ya shit dog?
English
@cljping @MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick U.S. forces are there to deter North Korea and China. Individual crimes are prosecuted but they don’t define the alliance. If it’s pointless, why does Japan keep it?
English
@MrRexPatrick @RobbieBarwick Who are the 50k soldiers in Japan protecting Japan from exactly?
They're are certainly not protecting Okinawan woman from rapeby US soldiers.
Why do th US falsely label their bases for convenience as protection.
Who are all these countries being Protected from?
English
@MrRexPatrick @noplaceforsheep Harming your own security isn’t punishment, it’s self-sabotage.
