As Trump liked to say to his opponents, he doesn’t have the cards.

They were attacked and Trump is talking about and actually bombing their infrastructure, making the other side’s infrastructure fair game. Iran has had a No First Strike policy meaning they committed to not fighting anyone unless attacked first and Iran had not invaded another country or started a war in over 200 years.

Comma AI can do it with far far less.

Why should they when the US broke the last deal made?

It’s being reported that Trump’s inner circle are hiding facts from him. They show him videos of airstrikes and big explosions, but he had no idea that Iranians had struck US planes until he saw it in the media.

This is what happens when Trump replaced all competent people with yes-men.

If he doesn’t know its going badly and Fox is praising him, what incentive does he have to stop?

If you can understand Arabic the father gave an interview and it’s on YouTube and X.

Well said!

Put more pressure on Congress. They really aren’t getting enough lately, honestly. They could assert their war powers at any moment.

USAID was a miniscule amount of money but “too much” to spend, and this endless war is a small price to pay?

The first Trump shutdown in the first term happened because Trump scrapped the existing Republican/Democrat deal made in Congress and demanded that there also be cuts to legal immigration in addition to the agreed-upon wall funding and increased ICE budget.

“Trump’s policy doesn’t make sense so it must be fake news” is a bad way to cope with reality. He broke his campaign promise, simple as that.

Stephen Miller and a number of GOP leaders are demanding that legal immigration be frozen or reduced.

Intel set up shop in Israel long ago, but I’m still boycotting. At least we have AMD as an alternative.

And you continue to ignore what I said the first time and continue on preaching nonsense.

Sepp of all people, when he’s saying this you know things are much much worse.

That’s not what they voted for.

It’s a weird world where you blame the public for not voting for a flawed candidate rather than the candidate for not being flawed. It’s like blaming an audience for not laughing at the comedian on stage.

Harris made a conscious choice to avoid pandering to certain constituencies (in hopes it would pay off by gaining conflicted Republican voters) and that gamble went wrong as people warned it would.

That’s the point, it will turn into Iraq. And mercenaries will still require congressional authorization.

There’s been polling analysis that showed if you forced everyone to vote then Harris would have lost to Trump by an even bigger margin due to the unpopularity of the administration at the time. Nonvoters didn’t make a difference. Michigan was won by Trump by a bigger margin than all college students or Arabs or Muslims or any other minority group in the state.

That’s not at all accurate. Toddlers are not an example of moral creatures; sharing and empathy are not developed at that age either.

If religion went away, violence would still exist. Atheist regimes still commit genocides. Humans just suck. This still doesn’t address my original point, you’re claiming that Christianity is somehow inherently more peaceful and that’s historically false, and claiming that Muslims are peaceful but their religion is pushing them to the opposite, and that’s ridiculously ignorant. If Islam magically went away, you’d still see violence in the Middle East due to colonialism and imperialism.

The YouTube reviews of BYD by Americans seem to say the opposite.

That’s simply false. I’m a practicing Muslim and I’m peaceful because of my religion and not despite it. My religion pushes me to be more patient with people and respect people who probably don’t deserve it.

Claiming that Muslims are peaceful despite their religion is a profoundly ignorant take. Talk to any kid in Sunday school if you don’t believe me. Islam has the same root word in Arabic as “peace.”
