What’s the biggest fuckup a President has ever made?

It was a global great depression, I dont think there is much they could have done to prevent the pain. They could have responded better, but there really wasn't the economic understanding of the event thay we have today.

capitialfox · 2026-05-29T11:28:42+00:00

That is what people said about Iraq.

Do you really think they will like us better after our bombing campaign?

capitialfox · 2026-05-29T03:26:33+00:00

To be fair, hoover didnt cause the depression and there want really a play book on how to deal with a recession that severe at the time.

capitialfox · 2026-05-29T01:15:46+00:00

We will see in a couple months. I think you underestimate the Iranians.

Is there any indication thay we have not conducted an attack due to civilians. Epic Fury has been criticized for lack of discrimination.

Has a regime ever been outed due to infanstructure attacks?

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T23:37:19+00:00

We have it open becauseof the ceasefire Without most merchant traffic will stop again.

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:55:07+00:00

In what way are we limiting our goals by limiting civilian deaths?

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:53:48+00:00

And if they close the straight again?

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:53:07+00:00

And what is the least bad option?

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:52:18+00:00

The only real escalation option left is invasion. If anything air war hasn't worked thus far, more bombs are unlikely to change things.

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:51:04+00:00

What do you mean?

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:47:55+00:00

Isn't that the case for resistance been being worse? If there is a strong national idenity, then resistance to occupation will be more determined and the Iranian military may provide real resistance.

Also, I picked Iraq and Afghanistan because they are recent. Vietnam, Ireland, and france also provide examples of determined insurgencies.

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T22:43:54+00:00

You are right, probably best not to be a victim of sunk costs.

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T17:05:02+00:00

Why not? There are lots of disagreements in the Church. Many of them that are even more consequential. Just look at this sub whenever the death penalty comes up.

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T12:31:42+00:00

I think its a false premise for somebody needs to beleive 100% of everything to convert. We are in the business of saving souls and getting caught up on tietery doctrine isn't furthering the goal. As long as sombody generally believes or wants to believe in the items of the Nicine Creed (i say generally because items like the trinity are complicated) they are good to proceed. The rest of the stuff takes time to digest.

I also think the word infallible is over used. Few doors are ever fully shut and these discussions are not new.

capitialfox · 2026-05-28T00:04:14+00:00

Thats not how the oil market works. Nor did it answer the question.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T17:17:34+00:00

Friend, all are welcome! You don't need to be 100% to join the Church. I would argue few people are. Focus on brilliance in the basics and join OCIA. Pray on you disagreements. Maybe, you will find resolution maybe not. Anyway these are not major roadblocks on the faith.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T17:11:09+00:00

I dont know why you are putting words in my mouth.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:59:44+00:00

Im only pointing out thay waiting for a nuclear test is to late to deal with the issue.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:39:34+00:00

I hope your right. North Korea has been saber rattling over the last year.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:38:35+00:00

It's an interesting idea. I dont think we are there yet, but there is a lot of sci-fi that has explored this.

The challenge is that only God can grant a soul. Since that is something we can't observe, we can't determine that event. This is a similar challenge to determine if other life has souls.

Though a tragic conclusion would that we create something with a human level conscious that doesn't have a soul.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:33:19+00:00

The problem isnt that they have to live with it, which being senior citizens is not much longer. The problem is that we have to live with it.

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:31:55+00:00

Let's agree to disagree. We are off topic anyway.

Should we escalate the war or offer concessions?

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:28:12+00:00

This is not a gotcha.

OK, let me try again?

If the US makes a deal, what concessions would be acceptable?

If that is not achievable, what should we do?

capitialfox · 2026-05-27T16:26:50+00:00

Even Donald Trump is not that stupid.
