    We don’t need to be inserting our military or projecting power into this. I would like to see us broker a lasting peace without lobbying for national self interest. It’d probably be a good idea to offer to work with China here, as I seriously doubt that they want to see a nuclear exchange happen next door. This war won’t help anyone, especially if nukes get involved.

    But, then again, I think this puts us a bit ahead of schedule for the post-nuclear horror, right? Too bad we couldn’t get Irish re-unification first.

      The times when the US was in a position to act as neutral-ish arbitrator are long gone.

      How about if we just act in the oligarchy’s best interests? I bet a war between India and Pakistan would increase weapons sales and they might even want Starlink! Good for everyone who matters!
