If We Can't March to Stop A New War with only 25% Approval...RIP Peace Movement. [View all]

It looks like Britain and France are going to nudge us into "projecting force" onto one more country.

"Royal Navy vessels are being readied to take part in a possible series of cruise missile strikes, alongside the United States, as military commanders finalize a list of potential targets."





Americans are more united about this than almost any other issue at present moment, yet it looks like it will happen.

How long until the laws of unintended consequences catch up in a terrible way?

I know bringing up the Archduke Ferdinand is cliché, but it is a sad commentary when we have so many wars, that people roll their eyes at such a mention.
