You might think this would help prevent wars, but it was standard in the past for politicians to fight battles, and they were dying all the time back then in wars that were also much more common.

Just because it happened before, doesn’t mean it doesn’t help prevent war.

Regardless, I just want to see Trump getting ass fucked in Iran.

  I grant you, it would be hilarious to see footage of Trump on the front lines in Iran (Benny Hill music in the background).

To be fair, back then countries weren’t led by nursing home escapees

  It did in fact happen with regularity that incapable, insane or otherwise unsuitable rulers would end up ruling.
  
  A famous example is Charles II of Habsburg (ruled the Kingdom of Spain from 1665-1700). Suffering from several though not precisely documented disabilities due to extensive inbreeding, he died in his late thirties.
