Iran

[Vol8188]

there were also linked reports/articles from 2017 & 2015.

short enough for your attention span?

Why the unnecessary clutter? I may have seen your article if the first two I clicked weren’t from 2020 and 2019 and if you don’t include 5 paragraphs of nonsense.

Send what you have and I’ll look at it

Almost choked on water reading that last sentence.

He’s a special guy. Hopefully one day he’ll learn some self awareness

Did you craft that straw man all by yourself while balancing on that fence rail?

Impressive.

I get that humor escapes you. But I couldn't resist.

But it isn't my fault that the absurdity makes your post look silly.

 

[McDad]

This has to be sarcasm.

You and Bearded share a common sharpness, rik. I'm not sure how each of you will feel about it though.

Apparently the Middle East has had enough of Iran’s

I feel like you've written this same "I'm not sure if I agree with this, but watch me talk myself into it" post several times now

I don’t have enough info to say if it was the right move, but in general my thoughts are F Iran

This is very dangerous. It is well known that Russia did not previously know where the US Capitol is located, what it is used for, and who is frequently inside.

Now that they are up to speed, we should probably move to DefCon 1.

As long as they didn't leave any Russian food laying around for some poor unfortunate to eat by mistake there's no threat to our security there. But is it a friendship visit or for some some meanigful discussions? Given all the rotten stuff that Putin & Co. have been doing for the past several years, it's not the time for a feel good visit.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Interesting.

I think they’d be more likely to the dirty work than the US. They’d have the full backing of their populace.

 

[EasternVol]

They probably gave them a tour of the room where all of our nuclear secrets are kept.

Trump might have shown them a few maps, maybe asked for some translations.

Russian food??? I am unable to grasp the reference.

I may be in the minority, but I think diplomacy works best when we are cooperative / hospitable (even with sketchy countries) as long as that cooperation / hospitality is inconsequential.

I bet he offered to sign his name to the Ruble.

 

[NashVol11]

Admin is just constantly lying

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

You’re right. I’m sure the man in a coma who no one has seen is totally running the country

It's called the Biden Model of government

 

[hog88]

Puuulease. He gave them the key to the nuclear football, Putin owns him remember.

 

[EasternVol]

I honestly don’t think he has the capacity to receive and process the information required to be POTUS. Hence why we hear 5 minutes of rambling about sharpies when we still haven’t been given clear motives, objectives, or expectations of a war he started with Iran.

Yeah he looks to have lost a lot mentally. Two Presidents in a row, what are the odds?

 

[EasternVol]

Why would anyone say that? Are you a fellow traveller?

pretty high since it seems only geriatrics are elected.

I was hoping that the Russians take careful notes and copy our legislative practices…their country will grind to a halt!

 

[rikberry31]

Did that even happen or did Trump just say it did?

There is no way a lie that big would go undiscovered or unexposed. Lies come out no matter how hard one tries to keep a lid on it, not even Biden is sharp as a tack, Hunter's laptop was fake, climate change is caused by humans, or there was no election fraud in Georgia.

So you haven't had any. Smart move.

I may be in the minority, but I think diplomacy works best when we are cooperative / hospitable (even with sketchy countries) as long as that cooperation / hospitality is inconsequential.

In general I agree there. And such a visit would be a good opportunity to pass a message or three to Putin. But I don't have much faith that we'd take that opportunity.

Trump's making Blinken look good. That takes some doing.

It was so outrageous but just but I have seen some crazy irrational ideas in here over the last month. And generally, for about a decade.

Surely not all Russian food is bad, is it?

Don't disagree about passing messages but I think diplomacy is good even without ulterior motives.
