You have to be kind of an idiot to think they won't eventually point this gun at anyone who criticizes Israel or the Palantir Reich, regardless of whether they were a natural born citizen or not.


I think you should reasonably to be able to expect to seek peace and support in the country that created the unstable situation for you in the first place, yes.

At any rate the effect of these asylum seekers on the hospital system in the U.S. pales in comparison to the private equity vampires stripping it for parts while getting abject dummies like you to blame "the migrants."


The problem is that they've been convinced the reason everything in our lives is increasingly shitty is down to hordes of 6-year-olds with leukemia who've crossed the border for free medical care. It couldn't be more obvious that this is a scapegoating operation being pushed by the ultra-wealthy who are gaining from widening precarity and exploitation. But a "solution" that involves just inflicting a bunch of harm to the powerless is inherently more appealing than wresting control from the powerful, which will involve real work & sacrifice.


It's not just this administration, it's been essentially open season for fraud in the U.S. financial system ever since 2008. If you're a hoi polloi dentist who makes $100,000 trading options off of some insider info then yes, there are SEC cops on the beat who will come after you. Otherwise, you can pretty much do whatever you want until & unless a whole lot of people lose money, at which point it's too late.


Iran has been amply demonstrating their missile capabilities on the city of Tel Aviv for the past week.


[flagged]


It seems like we're already seeing people here attempt to manufacture consent for a war with Iran.

Frankly you're not going to have a very strong chance of convincing me given Israel's actions over the past few years.


Disarm Israel. And bomb it too if it will resist.


And then actively facilitated an Israeli sneak attack that murdered Iran's chief nuclear negotiator.


Israel did that, are you okay with it?


I have no opinion.


Your questions in here give the impression you do, and that your opinion is in favor of some kind of intervention. Military interventions have all gone poorly for us, while using diplomacy has worked over and over. Results should matter here and results say bombing is the wrong choice.

"Let Iran do whatever?" is not even close to a neutral perspective.

The intent is not clear. You come across as lying about neutrality.


Man, no wonder this world is screwed up. Never mind then. I’ll just stop asking questions and let trump do as he likes.

Or learn how to not write non-leading questions.

Edit: Hey Hey editing all your posts doesn't make you look more sincere, that's just being more antagonistic.


Either they believe it is no longer necessary, or they are facing some other set of constraints that is making it less feasible.


I've got to imagine the israel lobby is putting an enormous amount of pressure on DC to attack.


MAHA


I don't understand how the NYT, which is well known for having done the U.S. security state's bidding in fomenting regime change in the region in the past, would have access to actual Iranian officials and internal workings like this.
