He weaseled out of having to commit war crimes and, as of 910 EST, the strait is not open except under “condition via coordinating” with the IRG.

Which means the strait isn’t open without conceding something to the Iranians. They literally believe they are winning solely due to the regime still being in power. They’ve shown they can bring the US to its knees via the strait and that there is no political will in the US for Trump to actually do what it would take to open it without conditions.

But yeah, the toddler is playing 5D chess lmao. All this war showed is that the Iranian regime is not going to be destroyed by the air and that the Iranians, though they can’t match up militarily with the west, can still cause much more significant pain economically.

Every person telling their rep they are behind them is one more reason for them to stand tall. Keep at it

Dont we fucking all

No no its more that he does a really good job of trying to present “both sides” (understanding some of those arguments are complete bullshit) but sometimes doesnt spend enough time either debunking or recognizing valid arguments.

I say that agreeing with his general point on a lot of stuff.

John Oliver, who has his own problems, does a really good breakdown on how the original idea got spun so far out of the intentions. Essentially its exactly what you said below in a nice 20 minute video. Good stuff.

Only an absolute buffoon surrounded by incompetent yes men could be handed a hard right dictatorship fresh off its latest round of mass civilian murders and somehow give them the moral high ground.

Why is our America First VP stumping for a foreign candidate who aligns with Russia? 🤔

If a majority is in favor of sizably reducing a voting populace by introducing measures that will inordinately affect lower socioeconomic classes, I think I would call opposing such an action democratic. I would call the other a trait of fascism.

Being a majority opinion doesn’t automatically entitle something to be democratic. Restricting voting is automatically undemocratic.

You are an enemy of democracy and should be regarded as such if you truly believe what you’re espousing. No voter should be disenfranchised based on a lie.

A majority thinking something should be done doesn’t make it a good idea.

It would be reasonable if there were documented, regular, and widespread instances of fraud involving non citizens voting. There are not.

Portraying it as unreasonable is saying you are okay with disenfranchising millions of disproportionately poor and minority voters because you are scared of a literal fantasy. Which is to say, you’re being ignorant either willfully or not.

I’d love for a single source here lmao

Not excusing anything the Iranian regime has done but maybe committing war crimes in the West Bank, Gaza, and other places also doesn’t endear you to folks around you, especially when your entire country is centered on literally taking land from those around you since its inception?

But yeah, Israel is ‘forced’ to do anything.

Maybe don’t do things to ruin your reputation if you’re worried about your reputation being ruined?

Which is why all of these events are “once in a hundred year” occurrences all happening at the same time and for not the first time this year, let alone the past 5.

Because an inherent distrust of experts leads to a reduction in expertise which leads to imbeciles being surprised their ideas don’t actually work in the real world.

You are wrong.

If you actually think we stopped being involved in Syria and Afghanistan even after the main force returned, I have a bridge to sell you.

…if you are legally allowed to ride a bike in a road and you are hit by someone for doing that, then that person is still legally responsible for hitting you.

Like. Did you even watch the video? What part of what happened appeared inevitable to you?

You can keep denying what you’re saying. But it’s clear that only one of us actually understands the weight of what is actually being expressed.

Because that’s what you’re saying. What did HE expect bringing a gun to a protest?

I bet you blame rape victims for being raped too.

If he was legally allowed to open carry a gun (appears to be the case), was not even holding it at the time of his first interactions with LE (per current videos, appears to be the case even if unconfirmed as of yet - it appears he wasn’t holding his phone), and was shot almost execution style (ditto), in what way is that expected? You are blaming an apparently law abiding citizen for his own death. That’s not only morally reprehensible but factually dishonest and undercutting your own alleged support at the knees.
