It’s so hard for the poor airlines. :-(

So, like, when it’s just a regular overbooking, will they continue to invoke state violence against their customers?

The Geneva Convention doesn’t have anything to do with “calling [things] out”.

Uh, and I am embarrassed for you that I have to explain this, the difference is that we are doing one of those things and we aren’t doing the other. Which means we don’t actually have the ability to control the other.

Lol, remember when you posted this? “I can play this game. Do you think that assad should be able to gas his people with no international repercussions?”

Seriously, how old are you?

“I’m super old and so I don’t have to make coherent arguments!”

Wow, you really regard being whatever age you are as an amazing accomplishment.

“Cheap tricks” like learning from history.

Have you given up arguing that this time, bombing foreigners will somehow work?

Imagine thinking this was a clever response.

Hey, bit of advice: when you can’t come up with a substantive response, not responding is a better bet than hoping your bluster isn’t noticed.

Now you’ve dropped beneath the threshold of coherence.

“Violence is just going to happen so there’s no point in trying not to engage in it.”

What a spotty little tummy!

And furthermore, if that candidate you despise so much were in office, we would’ve had a no-fly zone and Assad never would have been emboldened to gas his own people.

Fuck off.

I’m so sorry. That’s awful.

I can’t edit my other comment, but I wanted to say: World peace is worth reaching toward.

You are really, really dumb. That is why you believe that this situation will magically end up different from every single other pointless foreign military adventure the U.S. has engaged in in the last half century.
