Reply to comment by AsparagusFirm7764 in Chicago Alderman who said he wants fewer cops in his ward is now asking people to PLEASE stop shooting each other for 48 hours by CookieMasochist
Bro we're standing tall, no offense, but is there a country in the world that has more influence? I'm trying not to be nationalistic here, but it's not too bad to be in the U.S. right now.

Another thing that you don't know anything else, so of course you think that.

I get that you're not in favor of the U.S., it's fine, we have lots of detractors. But I will goddamn guarantee that your life 100% depends on the U.S. enforcing free trade in the world.

You'd mentioned earlier you weren't from the U.S., do you mind me asking what country you are from? It's ok if you don't want to say.

So an article from a think tank that is so obviously biased I couldn’t get past the intro?
That article is so much propaganda that it’s first citation is the US Joint Forces Command.
It’s literally using it’s subject as a source.
Did you even read that or did you just do a Google search and post the first result?

Are you arguing that the U.S. Navy doesn't enable worldwide trade? Rather than attack my sources, just say it plainly whether you believe it to be the case or not. No wiggle room.

I’m arguing that the entire premise is pro-military propaganda.

My guy, you jumped into a rational conversation and you're out of your depth. You're arguing against points I make that literally are common knowledge. It makes the discussion uninteresting.

You made points?
Where?
All I saw was a link you didn’t read before copy and pasting and you whining that I wasn’t here to entertain you.
