@DanNeidle Excellent read! Thank you. Agree with pretty much all, but surely there's a place for dealing with government waste. It won't magically fix the fundamentals, but could certainly help.
@jayforeman So instead it would be better if the hyper obsessed & hyper selective morally outranged at one very specific issue (ignoring all else) to be able to vote against?
Let’s look at reality:
• Syrian Civil War
~500,000+ killed
~6.8 million refugees
Entire cities like Aleppo and Homs largely destroyed
• Iran–Iraq War
~500,000 to 1,000,000 dead
Chemical weapons used at scale
Years of trench warfare devastation
• Yemeni Civil War
~350,000+ deaths (many from famine/disease)
~4.5 million displaced
Widespread infrastructure collapse
• Iraq War
~200,000+ civilians killed (estimates vary widely)
Millions displaced
State infrastructure shattered
• Iraqi invasion of Kuwait
Entire country occupied in days
Hundreds of oil wells set on fire
Mass displacement of civilians
@InsiderGeo Not 'different' at such. They're aligned on 80-90% of the objectives. It's the remaining 10-20% where they genuinely differ. Qatar, as an example, fits perfectly into that space.
Basically every major development in the Iran War has vindicated Trump’s decision to strike.
1) Overwhelming current disparity in traditional military capability = now is a good time to strike, we can destroy their capabilities with limited losses of personnel/material
2) Iran flings ballistics and drones at a nearly a dozen non-combatant neighbors = they are crazy and can’t be trusted with nukes
3) Iran opens negotiations with Witkoff with “we have enough 60% enriched material for 11 bombs and we will not give you anything at the negotiating table that you couldn’t achieve militarily” = diplomacy would not have solved the problem
4) Iran fires ballistics at Diego Garcia = they were not far from having ICBMs that could hit the Eastern Seaboard
The case for hitting Iran is STRONGER than it was for ISIS!
@Herrbitz515@patsmithcomedy Evidence? Or is the idea of evidence an Israeli Zionist plot, and you should just believe any retarded idea that pops into your braincells?
@SimonKelly14@RichardLinskell@MayorofLondon How about you can watch it yourself on a 65" TV before trying to claim it has anything to do with iPlayer on a phone.
But you know that already. The Star of David was removed deliberately!
