I totally understand and I think this is a great analogy and well laid out.
I sort of support the full speed ahead approach, just in that it will cause more young men to wake up v. the long slow collapse. But, I really don't think we have any choice in the matter. If we did, if we could vote our way out of it, I would fully support it. I am just not under the belief the GOP will buy us any more time. I mean, look at Speaker Johnson, currently the most powerful GOP member in office.
Trump will do some good things, like get the oil industry going again, and that is badly needed. But Trump is more pro-Israel, so I have a feeling if WW3 kicks off, it will be Trump getting into office and Israel going ham on Iran. I'm not saying this to support whomever the DNC runs, because I don't see much better there. I say this because I think it is acceleration, whether we want it or not.
Like I have said, it is all speculation and we will have to wait and see what comes about.
