That jails his own people, murders his opponents, commits war crimes, possibly genocide, and is threatening the use of nuclear weapons. Why the Air Force isn't at defcon 2 is baffling to me. One shitty battle report and the madman is launching nukes whilst we debate not getting involved. We're already involved, the whole fucking world is involved. Let's see this mother fuckers poker face. I bet he cowers and cries and stomps his feet and ends his bullshit.
