That wisdom is called appeasement and has failed again and again. Empires will empire, if you give them a finger they'll wait for a bit and then take an arm.

You seem to be completely realism-pilled. I have my issues with Kraut but watch this, it's good stuff.

If they are sovereign states then let them be sovereign states and deal with problems on their own

If they are unemployed and homeless then let them be independent and deal with problems on their own. The fuck. And you call yourself a leftist.

I agree, the US should be forcibly disbanded by an international peacekeeping force after the last two centuries of imperialism and genocide. No point in waiting for us to get worse, we need to be stopped now.

I appreciate the sentiment but I don't want to see what certain states will be up to if they don't have the federal level to keep them in check.
