    Nor are you making any sense, or answering your own question. Which clearly indicates that you didn't even think your question through.

    Obviously, I don't expect to "accomplish" anything with empathy. Empathy is just something that normal human beings experience but psychopaths do not. And that's not a "name". It's the definition of "psychopath". It's not an insult. It's a mental disorder. Once known as “moral depravity” or “moral insanity,”, but the term now used is "psychopathy" Again: none of these are insults. They are descriptive terms. And if you can read and see the images of innocent people, including children, being indiscriminately attacked with Chemical weapons, and you are still capable of asking "why should we care?", you should considered seeing a professional for a proper diagnosis.

    I'm serious....

    May God have mercy on our souls if international organisations start waging war.

    And to think I used to have a high opinion of him, and high hopes for America under his leadership. How stupid I feel now. I mean 'Gas Killing Animal' - what a gauche thing to say from anyone never mind a POTUS.

    I'm in the same boat. I mean, he was my last hope. The fact that my friends on the left were right about him all along just makes it even worse.

    But I still can't help feeling that there was a reason for his abrupt U-turn, when during and immediately after the election he'd been so keen to improve relations with Russia? And that was the main reason I wanted him to win it.

    That and caving on the wall with that omnibus bill...

    I think the reason is that he just talked a good talk, but at the end of the day...

    I was suspicious when he got elected, and then just forgot all of his supporters who were getting attacked right outside his rally venues, and then immediately started kissing the asses of cops who just days previously stood back and let them get attacked.

    I don't think he won the election per se, so much as it was the others who lost it? And I couldn't believe 'the wall idea' either (I always thought it was a bit off-the-wall lol), but wrote it off (in my gratitude to him that he won and the others didn't?) as a brain fart. Plus all the tweeting, and the rhetorical idiosyncrasies? We certainly live in strange times, what with our own bunch of losers, who don't have the faintest idea what they're doing t'boot!!

    Start? Korea was a UN operation. That Pandora's box is already open.

    Not on a widespread scale. Nations and substate organisations are still the primary drivers of war.

    He claimed the decision would be made in 24 to 48 hours.

    Diehard Trumpsters will have NP with his wishy-washy decision making and empty threats. Nice to see a reformed Trump supporter who can recognize the truth about someone.

    Country over party, for many it's too much to ask...

    I also think there's the probability he's been got at - there are too many things going on here which are making no sense. Think 'New World Order'?
