I'm glad there's one person with sense in this thread. Who would've thought my least popular comment in the Fediverse would be calling for caution over starting WW3?
These idiots here can forfeit their own lives if they want, but don't forfeit my little girl's life because you're too lazy to open a psychology and a history book. You don't assassinate world leaders on foreign soil and get away with it, scot free.
I don't think anyone here is seriously in favor of killing him. Just jokes and crossed fingers.
How often do you down vote online comments as a joke? Well I got a whole bunch of em in this thread. I'm sure war is all jokes to the people here. Smh
I'm rather surprised by the disproportionate voting as well. I was just playing devils advocate tbh.
For the record, I've not voted either way on anything in this thread. I will say, you seem to be taking this far more seriously than perhaps you should. This isn't the war room; it's a throwaway convo with strangers about hypotheticals...
