I would feel that the responsible adult that was in charge of my protection is doing a lousy job. So he should surrender and spare us the war.

How would you feel? Insulted?





> the responsible adult that was in charge of my protection

So you're infantilizing an entire nation to make this point?

> So he should surrender and spare us the war.

Do you have any measure on this sentiment among the population currently? If it is, as it is in so many places, that the leaders actions are detached from the will of the voters, then what should we make of this?

Should they be allowed to surrender to a _neutral_ party?

Should they be allowed to keep their state?

Is there any reason not to presume a peaceful negotiation under these terms? Is there any reason to attempt to assassinate the party trying to coordinate this?

> How would you feel? Insulted?

Violated. These are _our_ emergency broadcast services. They should be used for the intended purpose and not to force an angry political message on a powerless population.

Do you not have any good faith in yourself for this topic?

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
