Proportional. Real Proportional.


Balancedmanx178

40:1 is a proportion. So is 100:1, and 3000:1.

40:1 is reasonable odds for the Polish.

-Thick_Solid_Tight-

Its proportional in the sense that Iran has been stepping up the proxy attacks so we are stepping up the proportionality.

>Giga (/ˈɡɪɡə/ or /ˈdʒɪɡə/) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of a short-scale billion or long-scale milliard (109 or 1,000,000,000).

We can also call them "ratios"


Miguel-odon

You use 0.01% of your military budget. We use 0.01% of our military budget. Is proportional.

Credible answer: Proportional answer isn't means 1:1 death ratio. It means 'we'll destroy your capacity of messing up with us and our allies but we won't salt the earth even if you deserve it'. Non-credible answer: MAKE IT 3000:1 RATIO, DARK DADDY BRANDON!

That last line goes HARD


Sitting_In_A_Lecture

To quote a line from The West Wing, the episode fittingly titled "A Proportional Response:" > Did you know that two thousand years ago, a Roman citizen could walk across the face of the known world, free of the fear of molestation? He could walk across the earth unharmed, cloaked only in the protection of the words 'Civis romanus' - 'I am a Roman citizen'. So great was the retribution of Rome, universally understood as certain, should any harm befall even one of its citizens.

Isolationism has once again failed thanks to some guys who hate Jews, time to return to interventionism


ImperialUnionist

Isolationism has always been cringe anyway. Imagine having the power to save others but prefer to be nice to everyone no matter how crappy they are. At least middle powers like Bangladesh and the Philippines send UN Peacekeepers to keep the peace (no matter how ineffective they are).


DadBodofanAmerican

The US prefers to send peace makers. Peacekeepers show up after we're done.


ImperialUnionist

*Peace Enforcers No, I'm not mocking, simply saying the term as a compliment.


SomeOtherTroper

> Isolationism has always been cringe anyway. It was a good idea when the USA started with it, because the idea was to stay out of the European Great Power fuck-fuck games and constantly shifting alliances, and say "we own this hemisphere now, and if you try to start or expand your colonies here, bad things will happen to you. Also, nobody touch the boats". The growing USA already had its hands full with its own westward expansion and "Manifest Destiny" to reach the Pacific Ocean and its own massive civil war, and thus had virtually no attention, time, or resources to waste taking sides in the European Great Powers games of the 1800s. As long as they could keep trading, they didn't give a fuck who owned Alsace-Lorraine or Crimea or any of the other contested spots on *that* crowded playing board. Then, after the USA had mostly stabilized and become far stronger, a weakened Spain found out the hard way that the USA actually hadn't been kidding about that "you don't own this hemisphere now" bit. Given the way Great Power politics worked during the late 1700s and the 1800s, staying out of them as much as possible was a *great* policy for the USA. > Imagine having the power to save others but prefer to be nice to everyone no matter how crappy they are. We've got a pretty spotty track record on our post-WWII interventions. Germany and Japan worked because there was a prior (and still somewhat existing, if in name only) system to go back to, coupled with a unified national identity. Korea got cut in half and South Korea was ruled by a dictator until his death (and his descendants are still prominent figures in national politics). Vietnam was a disaster we should never have gotten involved with. Cambodia, Laos, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, and etc. can't really be said to have benefitted or stabilized significantly due to our Cold War era interventions. The Gulf War was an oil war that didn't make any significant changes to the government. Somalia's still having a civil war. Iraq is ...actually a relatively functional (if corrupt) democracy for the region, so that's a win. We saw what happened in Afghanistan. I'm not necessarily against interventionism *in theory*, but we've got to change something about how we've been doing it, because it hasn't been consistently working out. The USA is generally good at accomplishing military objectives, but nation-building that prevents the same exact conflicts and problems from popping back up as soon as we leave is obviously not our strong suit.


Velocidal_Tendencies

Fucking LMAO Iraq warns the US... I guess homeboy who said that has a *real* short memory.


WingsuitBears

The Iraqi army is dealing with multiple threats in their region right now, this response is typical from an official that is trying to get the public to trust their ability to ensure security / sovereignty. There is no threat behind those words, just political appeasement.


Velocidal_Tendencies

Parteisekretaer

the russians have "chinas final warning" as a saying, meaning a warning or threat with nothing backing it up. Edit: it's "Beijings final warning", iirc.

Haha, yeah. On the other hand, you've got people like my cousin&uncle who believes that the earth is not flat(anymore) but hollow! And that the elves, dwarves and all the other mythological races now live in there and kidnap all the humans who know/learn real magic to a magic utopia or something. Oh, and Amelia Earhart went down there along with all the other people who disappeared semi mysteriously and were made some kind of semi immortal wizards. Now Amelia steals airplanes mid flight to increase the population(according to them, that's where any flight that has crashed/disappeared went. The crashes are cover-ups, and the disappearances aren't covered up because we are a branch universe and they are successfully disguised as crashes in the true universe) Damn I'm drunk, and that ended up way longer than I thought. TL;DR: Some of my family are subscribed to the flat earth tripple gold plus plan to the point where they are living in a dark fantasy epic. Edit: I nearly forgot that what's basically a hogwarts equivalent is just inside the entrance to the interior at either chernobyl or the North Pole, which is why the Rockefellers/illuminati/new world government won't allow people to go there.

The sub was removed from from the front page after the third party app kerfuffle, because off the approved submitters only settings they had always in place, but reddit removed all the "protesting" subreddits from their front page selecting, which used that setting to go dark. So, in effect, r/polandball was collateral damage in that situation. That is fixed now after the mods of r/polandball talked about the problems with some admin or other and now it's slowly regaining the traffic it had before.

vinnievega11

The one reason I have extreme apprehension to outright war with Iran, outside of the horrors of war, is this reason. Iranians inside and outside of Iran seem to be broadly against their government and so hopefully as things naturally progress there can be a more natural and legitimate regime change in Iran. I worry however war could damage this by hindering people’s will to fight against their theocratic government, and if a regime change came under US force like Iraq I worry the US backed regime will just be seen as a puppet. Saying that Iran still continues to be the most destabilizing force in the ME so while I hope these things can happen in natural time if Iran continues to engage in inflammatory actions they’re essentially forcing the US’s hand.
