I'm a leftist economically and socially but even I believe in nostep snek policy. Violence must be employed immediately and swiftly as a defense to an identified threat. But if the threat is not properly identified, the violence is unjust.

Determining a threat is a huge gray area though. And then there's the problem of pre-emptive strikes, and identifying opponent strategies as an "inevitability," as a pretext for attack.

>, for example to make sure you don't invite the third world over for an indefinite welfare extravaganza.


Stale meme. Western imperialism both economic (postwar international UN-enforced trade policy) and militaristic (United States doing unilateral intervention without congressional or popular approval multiple times, with help from the British and French) created the conditions for floods of refugees from the third world. The USA props up dictatorships and overthrows them with equal zeal, so long as it enforces US hegemony and economic dependence by exploited vassals. You're clearly mad about muzzy terrorists, yet Western, conservative, Christian nations funnel billions to the Saudis and the Israelis and make the middle east a theocratic hellhole that people want to flee. Racism doesn't fix this, it just locks the refugees in with the extremists, and creates more extremists in the long run.
