She should set her sights higher, like Alexander Abian, a professor at Iowa State University, who wanted to blow up the moon.

I thought that was already taking place...?
Although I think the term "dismantle" doesn't really do the process justice. ;)

Why not? Yugoslavia was dismantled. I don't remember a lot of weeping about it at the time.

The slightly brighter out-of-touch academics wait until they get tenure to spout stuff this insane.

When she becomes President of the United States of America, I’ll be concerned. She is the on any party ticket?

Why not? Yugoslavia was dismantled. I don't remember a lot of weeping about it at the time. Yugoslavia didn’t have a multi-trillion dollar Military-Industrial-Complex and you seem to have forgotten: Slovenian War of Independence (1991)Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995)
Bosnian War (1992–1995)
Insurgency in Kosovo (1995–1998)Kosovo War (1998–1999)
Insurgency in the Preševo Valley (1999–2001)
And The Bosnian genocide (Bosnian: Bosanski genocid / Босански геноцид) refers to either the Srebrenica massacre or the wider crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing campaign throughout areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS)[6] during the Bosnian War of 1992–1995.[7] The events in Srebrenica in 1995 included the killing of more than 8,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys, as well as the mass expulsion of another 25,000–30,000 Bosniak civilians by VRS units under the command of General Ratko Mladić.[8][9]The ethnic cleansing that took place in VRS-controlled areas targeted Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats. The ethnic cleansing campaign included extermination, unlawful confinement, mass rape, sexual assault, torture, plunder and destruction of private and public property, and inhumane treatment of civilians; the targeting of political leaders, intellectuals, and professionals; the unlawful deportation and transfer of civilians; the unlawful shelling of civilians; the unlawful appropriation and plunder of real and personal property; the destruction of homes and businesses; and the destruction of places of worship. The acts have been found to have satisfied the requirements for "guilty acts" of genocide and that "some physical perpetrators held the intent to physically destroy the protected groups of Bosnian Muslims and Croats".[10] In the 1990s, several authorities asserted that ethnic cleansing as carried out by elements of the Bosnian Serb army was genocide.[11] These included a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly and three convictions for genocide in German courts (the convictions were based upon a wider interpretation of genocide than that used by international courts).[12] In 2005, the United States Congress passed a resolution declaring that the Serbian policies of aggression and ethnic cleansing meet the terms defining genocide.[13] The Srebrenica massacre was found to be an act of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, a finding upheld by the ICJ.[14] On 24 March 2016, former Bosnian Serb leader and the first president of the Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadžić, was found guilty of genocide in Srebrenica, war crimes, and crimes against humanity and sentenced to 40 years in prison. In 2019 an appeals court increased his sentence to life imprisonment.[15] On 12 May 2021, it was announced that, in an agreement with UK authorities, he would serve the rest of his sentence in a UK prison.[16] Wikipedia This is why you are a ridiculous man: you’d didn’t weep over any of the above because you have no clue it happened. I don’t doubt this is what hope will happen in the USA.

That was 30 years ago and yet you clearly remember the “elites” not minding? Who are the people in this “elite” category?
