Iran

[n_huffhines]

Yeah. Us Millennials weren’t alive and it wasn’t in the textbooks. I only ever heard about it from one history teacher, not a part of the lesson plan.

What did you teach your kids and grandkids?

It was at the very tail end of the Carter administration, going throughout most of the Reagan administration. We had been meddling in Iran for 30 years and made an enemy out of them, which of course resulted in terrorism against the west, which means we increasingly saw them as a threat to obsess over. We gave Iraq intel, naval assistance, diplomatic cover, and aid while they were using chemical weapons against Iran, only to find ourselves at war with Iraq twice over the next couple decades, and our relationship with Iran even more broken.

Our interest in Iran has had our foreign policy ****ed up for my Dad's whole life, and I'm 44. We never learn.

The way they should go, so when they are old they will not depart from it.
My kids are great, successful and right-minded. I taught them to read directions, do their homework, and if you want to know or do something ask someone who knows and/or is successful at it. If the crazy and lazy are unhappy with you, you're doing right. If the sane and good people are upset with you, you're doing wrong.
My children know God and they are not him.
My children know men can not have babies and shouldn't participate as a woman is sports.
My children know there are only 2 genders, xx and xy.
My children know that the Sun warms the earth and climate change is a huge hoax.
My children know that socialism is evil and has never one time been successful.
My children know that they live in the greatest country in not only the world but of all world history.

No tax on OT really helped me

Sounds like some pretty good indoctrination. Objectivity is not a thing in your household?

There are two biological sexes, not genders, and the sexes have variations XXY, XYY, XO, and XXX. Learn the bare minimum about a topic before teaching your kids to be prejudiced. This is hard science, not sociology. Literally everybody on earth should be aware that some people are intersex at birth. This is undeniably a thing. Stop trying to make the world binary. It's not.

 

[Majors]

You know it's a bald-faced lie to call it ransom when it wasn't our $, right? It was their $, we just unfroze the funds.

It wasn't an end-around congress because this action didn't apply to the INARA.

Also, they are trying to prove that this action encouraged more hostage taking when that's always what Iran has done, since the 70s.

Look at that. Can't believe the Heritage Foundation would mislead anybody about Iran. What is the world coming to?

In summary, Biden gave 6B back to a terrorist state sponsor because it was theirs. Makes sense.

 

[EasternVol]

Yeah and Don Corleone was in church while he was having people massacred.

I hope you have sense enough to know that Iran and al Qaeda weren’t working together. They don’t like each other.

[EasternVol]

Iranians chose radical Islam. Blaming that on the US is a joke of an argument. The US provided them prosperity. They preferred radicalism and it cost them.

That so called prosperity provided by Uncle Sam was very unequally distributed and came with boots on the neck, both of which fueled the Shah’s overthrow.

We never learn. That is why I see all of this dysfunction as intentional.

He stopped the flood of illegals pouring into the country.
He is rounding up and getting rid of the illegals that are already here.
He has cleaned up the crime in D.C. and other U.S cities.
He is bringing back industry and investment in the U.S.
He cut my taxes.
He is rooting cut terrible regulations.
He cut off funding for insane programs.
He turned on the oil spigot and is opening the coal mines.
He is taxing other countries more and set a path to abolish income tax. (We used to almost exclusively fund our federal government with tariffs, till Woodrow Wilson)
He has ended many wars around the world.
He has made allies of the arab world, just this week.
He has made the United States of America feared and respected around the world once again.
In short, he is making America great again.

That’s all very important, but maybe none of us should have a vote unless we have an understanding of what has made things worse over the past generations. It ain’t a lack of taxes or a lack of government meddling.

Yeah, with the warboy psychophants

Somebody said they did the math and it would need to be 10,000 trucks daily

Prosperity should be unequal.

 

[General Jack]

Putin would have not dare invaded in 2022 had he not seen our weakness. Add to that we watched the build up on the border for months and said nothing.

That's funny.

You're presumably equating trump with "strength". Why, because he bullies weak countries?

Trump ended the war in Ukraine in his first day in office because of his strength, right? Nope.

Trump has stopped Putin from relentlessly targeting Ukrainian citizens and infrastructure, right? Nope.

We've fired more Patriot missiles in the last 12 days in Iran (800-1000) than Ukraine has fired in multiple years (600). We build approximately 600 / year and those systems take 2 years to produce.

The war in Iran is yet another gift to putin from trump.

I understand biology, just read a book about non-coding DNA which composes 98% of DNA. There are persons born xxy and xyy that is true. It is also true that they display majority characteristics of one sex or the other.
Your ilk are the ones doing the indoctrination. Pedding complete lies to children like gender is a choice and that its ok get yourself mutilated and cut off your junk.
Male and Female He created them.

You think what we have in American right now is "great"...?

We're feared because we have a incompetent and trigger happy cast of buffoons calling the shots.

p.s. - might want to do a little research on that respect thing (as it relates to the cult leader)
p.p.s - American was at its greatest when we were the good guys

Wrong it will end up hurting both Russia and China. Iran and Venezuela were an interface for Russia and China to their dirty work.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

First I don't think he needs defended. I don't put too much on people's words, as far as politicians go, I judge results. Unless one resorts to lies, there is no argument about the results the man has delivered.

You're right there's no debate on the chaotic CF with everything Trump has done in this term. Neither he nor Biden should have ever been anywhere near the WH.

 

[n_huffhines]

Cool, bro. You read a book about DNA but know nothing about the topic you are talking about. Sex differentiation depends on specific genes and chromosomes, and the percentage of non-coding DNA doesn't change that.

There are persons born xxy and xyy that is true.

Then why did you just say it's only XX and XY? LOL

It is also true that they display majority characteristics of one sex or the other.

What does this have to do with anything, other than you trying to save a little face? You think it means anything that an intersex person is more male than female, or vice versa? As opposed to what? You're just pointing out that it's a spectrum. What else would they be. More donkey than human?

Your ilk are the ones doing the indoctrination. Pedding complete lies to children like gender is a choice and that its ok get yourself mutilated and cut off your junk.
Male and Female He created them.

I've got a nearly 8 YO daughter and we've never had this conversation about gender because I just let her be a kid and I tell her to love everybody. You just admitted to indoctrination, then accuse me of it when you know absolutely nothing about me.

 

[EasternVol]

Trump would have never let that airbase go. That was idiotic. And it would have taken place in a very manner. Biden pushed up the timeline and sacrificed our people for politics.

Trump did let it go though. He’s the one who surrendered, including the air base, to the Taliban. Then Biden totally botched the execution of the withdrawal.

Funny how Mehdi's logic seemingly doesn't apply to Gaza.

Who’s been the aggressor again in Gaza and the West Bank since the mid 20th Century?
