The world has been better despite American efforts . The only reason we have not seen a major war and instead a myriad of smaller proxy wars lead by the Americans is because of nuclear weapons and MAD . America started countless of wars , toppled governments and funded rebellions so it ' s abundantly clear that Americans are not interested in a peaceful world . What held back the tide and stopped things from escalating was the possibility complete world destruction . That ' s the only reason Americans did not go to war with the Russians . <| sep |> You do realize my post was trying to make the point people shouldn ' t group all Trump supporters in with the Nazis right ? <| sep |> In all honesty I haven ' t seen it on Finrod wiki pages , but I ' ve also not looked for it because it ' s in the book . I should have rephrased my question to ask simply whether or not Fingolfin and Finarfin could claim kinship with the Vanyar in the same way Finrod can claim kinship with Thingol Teleri , thus being allowed into Doriath , rather than suggesting they weren ' t related to the Vanyar . It seems obvious that if Finrod can say that because his mother was Teleri , then Fingolfin could claim he was half vanyar if he needed to .
