There are no checks, examples. Bush admin lied about Iraq, faced no consequences. Obama toppled Libya without a declaration of war from Congress. Bush/Obama allowed mass surveillance on citizens. Legal checks failed. But decentralized money & opinion on social media may work.

There are lobbyists on both sides always.

Absolutely. I like neither lobby group. (especially despise the neo-cons) The deal with Trump. Objectively, he is the first peace candidate we've elected in 21st century. Wars need to stop death toll has been massive. And there's risk for larger tail events.

Objectively he’s the first president to threaten nuclear war on Twitter. Strange way of doing peace.
-
Rough words, yet the results are broadly peaceful. Secession of Syrian regime change efforts, and N. Korea deal. Obama spoke beautifully while engaging in atrocities. Libyan war, and CIA torture, even prosecuted the whistle blower.

Must be one of those paradoxical things where smart, calm, well spoken people are actually psychopathic monsters and those who act like belligerent sociopathic narcissists are going to bring world peace. Your optimism is commendable sir.
-
Simply actions over words. The terrifying monsters tend to be driven by the best of intentions. The piety makes them relentless.

I think I caused nick to block me because of this conversation. I am very sad because I think the world of his work. It’s stupid that we have to block people we disagree with politically or because we value different things (morals etc). I hope someone can forward this to him.
