    World is shifting away and I’m happy for them. This doesn’t mean I want any innocent people getting hurt.

    We don’t cease to be neighbours just because Canada built more links and partnerships elsewhere after Donald’s threats. So many people in USA are still failing to understand that their neighbours didn’t find any of the threats and trade war funny. This isn’t remotely similar to Bush’s illegal war. There was some consensus amongst allies before acting. This Iran bs and broken trust has bigger consequences.

    Hillary is smart. She’s capable. She would’ve kept the dominant spot on world stage instead of letting her emotions run wild like a spoiled toddler.

    Just because she would’ve been great for USA doesn’t mean it’s good for billions of human beings to be under USA’s thumb.

    Rome didn’t fall over night. Byzantine empire went on for quite a while too. UK is still there but it’s good for Africans and Asians that the empire fell apart.

    This is happening in front of our eyes regardless of what we say to each other. I know how much it sucks for us. I do think it’s a good thing for all those other people out there.

      The problem is that you are ignoring that Trump killed hundreds of thousands and Hillary wouldn’t have. If Trump hadn’t killed so many, you’d have a good argument to prefer Trump.

      But knowing the deaths, it’s horrible to want Trump on the slim chance it changes things.
