Ever increasingly restrictive gun regulations reflect a fear as well within the left for those of us who prefer to hold the ability to defend ourselves.<br /><br />Chamberlain bargained from a fearful position. He feared war. He feared bloodshed and carnage and made a deal with the devil in hopes of avoiding such things. It was not to last as we well know.<br /><br />The fact is that a bully is someone who holds an advantage of potential violence over another. A bully takes advantage of their position. While we see individual bullies often we fail to recognize nations as bullies. Germany bullied the world into attaining more land for its third reich. <br /><br />Germany was certainly a bully. As was and is Iran. China bullies its people. The nations in the world with the most restrictive laws and regulations, some of which are social in nature, are the big threats to peace in the world.<br /><br />Trump responded to Iran's bullying in Iraq and has threatened more attacks against Iran if they do not stop their aggression. This is not the same as bullying. This is actually drawing a line in the sand and perhaps Obama ought to pay attention as this is how it is actually done.Glenda T Goodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124547784959889077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-73041502105133062672020-01-05T11:37:14.808-05:002020-01-05T11:37:14.808-05:00We make decisions based on what we know.

At the time, Hitler was considered by many to be another person who could be bought.<br /><br />More importantly, and this applies to both personal lives as well as nations, we like to avoid hard decisions. We also want a "good option"... but sometimes, there are no GOOD choices, only the least-worst choice, and often that least-worst presents as the hardest one.NITZAKHONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110716447757507226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-63243701418118128992020-01-05T10:31:30.746-05:002020-01-05T10:31:30.746-05:00Great analysis.

And you tweaked a dormant thought in the recesses of my brain concerning the connections of red flags by government to enable tyrannical measures via the fear process. 9/11 first comes to mind, but we won't revisit that open can of worms today.pc-nothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786855979790657221noreply@blogger.com
