      Everything.

      An unconditional surrender is a surrender in which no guarantees, reassurances, or promises (i.e., conditions) are given to the surrendering party. It is often demanded with the threat of complete destruction, extermination or annihilation.

        How can you unconditionally surrender a war you didn’t start. Makes this a war of conquest and the fact that Congress is rolling over on it is disgusting.

        Every vote to continue should have the Congress person tried for treason.

            I’m just surprised their articulating it that way because it make this a war of conquest in no uncertain terms, all while they’ve been trying to soften their language by using words like “mission” and “operation” makes it all the more disgusting.

              I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying when the mongol horde arrived, the besieged cities didn’t say “How are we supposed to surrender? You attacked us.”

              I don’t think this is any new PR strategy by the American empire, lol, it’s just that without even the pretense, without some previous narratives that made the average American support death and destruction, this entire scenario is obviously ridiculous and everyone can see it.
