Oh I tot wana say they r the terrorists

They are worst than terrorists. Some people think good people are like pure angels. No. Good people are monstrous. They can destroy, they choose not to. That is why they are good.

 

[asymmetric]

Should go study game theory.
The moral of the story is play nice but dont be a pushover.

Every country is playing this stand off game. They'll pounce on whoever displays weaknesses.

What is the US dominant strategy when it comes to middle east? What Houthis and Iran did is unacceptable. US is having their election this year. I believe the next president will respond accordingly.

In the 1700s, America was a young nation, with brave men setting off to sea on ships for trade. However, the Ottoman Empire would capture American trading boats in the Mediterranean, beheading the captains and selling the rest of the American sailors as slaves.

Americans bought back their sailors because they leave no man behind. They soon realized they were funding the Ottoman Empire's slave trade, as they were buying back their people.

The Americans were confused; they were a young nation and hadn't done anything to offend the Ottoman Empire. The Americans sent diplomats to find out.

The representatives of the Ottoman Empire replied that they did it because they could. To add salt to the injury, they said that according to the Quran, Americans are infidels and therefore should be enslaved. When the Americans realized what they were dealing with, a problem that diplomats could not solve, "Never negotiate with terrorists" was born.

Americans were justified, filled with righteous anger, so they created the greatest navy of all time. To protect their trading boats. Never touch American trading boats.

The Houthis and Iran really don't know what they've done.

How come back in those olden days, why the Americans never war with ottomans to take over their territory?

Only american themselves can sabo america lah, noone else can

Ya but america is like the worst country now.

must remember - America is a geographically HUGE country - something most SIngaporeans who lived most of their lives in SG cant really fathom - and not to forget they have populatio of 330 million souls...

IF it is as bad as we imagined - what say these 330 million people? they must be suffering so much.

for sure America has its very bad problems - the political divisiveness & drug scourge & the fact that they will use their power to bully other nations .. but to blanket everything as bad?

must take what we see online w huge pinch of salt.

Accordingly...

According to their own (misguided?) Judgements or beliefs?

I think Trump will approach this problem differently from Biden. Trump goes at problems alone. If any allies want to join in the fight, allies got to pay for their own expedition. Trump not going to subsidise.

Biden is 拉帮结派, go around looking for Allies promising support, then go in looking like something that is bigger than the sum of its parts.
