In Which I Say Relatively Nice Things About Stephen Miller

Asked yesterday about the invasion of Venezuela and the kidnap of its President and his wife, White House deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said, "“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power... These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”

No, you Nazi piece of lying shit, strength, force and power have not been the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.  Diplomacy has been used consistently for millennia, and especially since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.  Even Google AI is smarter than you, Stephen, you ignorant barbarian; the Treaty of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War*, 

establishing the modern system of sovereign states by recognizing each state's right to govern its territory without outside interference, solidifying the nation-state, and granting religious freedom for Catholics and Protestants within the Holy Roman Empire. It formalized state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and mutual recognition, making it a cornerstone of international law...

The Thirty Years war was one of the most brutal and destructive wars in human history.  It ended partly because Europe was exhausted; strength, power and force wasn't working.  They tried cooperative problem solving, and the world was a different place.

The Cold War* lasted half my (long) lifetime, but it was called the Cold War because, in over forty years, no battles were fought, no missiles flew, no populations of civilians were destroyed.  No one kidnapped a sitting President.  In the end, it was economics and Gorbachev's reform policies which ended the Cold War.  Not power, strength and force.

No, Stephen, the real world is not the result of power, force and strength, it is the result of those things heavily moderated by diplomacy, calculation of mutual advantage, and an unwillingness to violate state sovereignty.  Sometimes that moderation has worked, sometimes it hasn't.

Grow up and read a book, you worthless, slobbering maniac.

* - I've underlined the important parts, which you might have missed while you were beating up little kids in the boy's bathroom instead of learning history.

** - Which ended before you were in Kindergarten, Stephen, but you could always look it up.  Obviously, not.
