I’ll preface this by saying I’m an American who hates Trump, his regime, and everything they stand for.
Every president has done some version of Venezuela and they always justify it with some Bs so I got to thinking what would I do in a situation where I was president and my intelligence community showed me proof that some dictator in a country that doesn’t really like us was creating nukes. Assuming you have all the correct information and it’s 100% true of course.
You can go around and around saying you need more info and all that. Let’s just assume they are building nukes and you know they will use it as leverage to harm your people economically or militarily
Slight correction: Two-party, first past the post democracy means that only 51% of the population decide which dumbass fucks the country while the other 49% effectively get zero say or representation in government.
Additional addendum: in the US with the electoral college, if you get the exact right people, you can theoretically win elections with about 23% of the popular vote, and the elected president had 51+% of the popular vote like…half the time lately
And that is still much less than 51% of the population
