I believe they absolutely have an obligation to do so. But given how the government is now being run by Fox News dropouts and moronic children, I could also see how they conceivably would refuse to do so until it was too late to stop anything.

Israel is fucking up big time. The US is fucking up big time. There is currently a vacuum of responsible leadership on the world stage, and you can bet your sweet ass China will be looking to expand their influence wherever they can. This will not be limited in scope, nor in intensity. All of this bullshit will have far reaching complications that we haven't even conceived of yet.

I fear for the world which my children will have to live in. Even if the US returns to some sense of normalcy during the next election (which I doubt) the damage has been done. The SC rulings, draconian laws, gerrymandered districts...this country won't look or act the same ever again. This is truly the time of the Julians; whatever comes next will be the time of Augustus.
