Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Indiscriminate murder of 600,000 people won't solve anything. Do you have an actual point or did you just want people around you to know that you have a bloodthirsty power fantasy?

Well what's your solution?

Whatever it is it clearly doesn't work.

The rest of the UN could step up and reorganize to eliminate the permeant veto ability. UN contributions should be increased to a %GDP so that we can have a UN peacekeeping force with actual teeth.

I don't have to know what will work in order to know what won't work. What do you think killing 600,000 people indiscriminately accomplishes? Blowing up a nuke in the US will only make every brown person on the face of the planet suffer and by extension everyone else as well. The retaliation would make the Crusades look like a mild skirmish. Every single right wing evangelical whack job would be voted directly into office. There would be muslim extermination camps created. Not to mention the barbaric notion that killling 600,000 people for vengence is downright evil. What you're proposing though has extreme consequences that you haven't even begun to fathom.

I also don't think you'll approach the conversation with any unbias point of view considering you already decided whatever I say won't work. Maybe I think you should wear a silly hat and ask Congress nicely to quit killing kids? That would be more effective than killing 600,000 people and way less evil.
