bosstrabs War is by definition an attempt to change the status quo

Our current military endeavors are to protect shipping lanes. If that isn’t defending the status quo then idk what is.

      DeSantis is a soft cock, aimlessly fucking about like a Paddy Pantsdown Lib Dem.

      What you lot need is a proper “big beast” such as the likes of Sir Malcolm Rifkind.

      hugopal That’s not necessarily true - e.g. you might enter a war because the status quo is under attack and you wish to defend it.

      zackster Our current military endeavors are to protect shipping lanes. If that isn’t defending the status quo then idk what is

      Yeah.

      Dave.

      Have THAT.

            Uhhhh look at me I’m Dave. Uuuuhh I’m fucking gay.

              Mad_Cyril both those scenarios validate Dave’s comment, both examples are from one sides perspective, ie defending the status quo, which means the other side in the war is trying to change the status quo?

                  RichM Whilst this is a sensible point RIch, it doesn’t quite suit my use case requirements 🙄

                      RichM both those scenarios validate Dave’s comment

                      No they do not.

                      Dave’s comment was attempting to claim that there is a contradiction between a person being “well up for war” and supporting “the status quo”, a la Nikki Haley - this is false as you can be in favour of war only when it is needed to defend the status quo.

                      RichM both examples are from one sides perspective

                      Well durrrrr.

                      That doesn’t mean the scenarios don’t still demonstrate that it’s possible for a person to be both up for war and for maintaining the status quo. A person can continue to hold those views without them being at odds with each other. The perspective of the other side is not needed when evaluating the person in question’s attitude.

                            Hugo keeping us all honest since zzzzzzzzZzzz

                            hugopal It is not - don’t give it unjust credit.

                            Sorry @RichM , I take it all back.

                            Hope we can get over this and learn to see eye to eye again in the future 🫶

                                Rich looks a cunt. +1 to Dr. Palmer

                                Mad_Cyril we can work through this, just need to sit down and listen to Trisco Musak whilst holding hands

                                  Can we add a 🇺🇦 to Stu’s user ID?

                                  I am so embarrassed that I allowed myself to be guilted into voting for this.

                                    zackster to be fair you had the choice of one known horrific president and one unknown shit president. So wasn’t a great choice to start with
