nothing to cry about it is just preventive maintenance , a government can only threaten the USA for so long, while making materials for nuclear weapons before a president finally gets the stones to do something about it. The only mistake to be made regarding the conflict with the Iranian government, would be to not take out their entire regime , leaving those insane Islamic extremists in place to terrorize their own citizens , and slowly rebuild their power to get back to right to threatening the USA, would be a giant mistake. All the " negotiating " by what ever is left of the Iranian regime is nothing but stalling for them to figure out who is really in charge and what can they do to keep their power and rebuild to come back again, they wont learn anything it will be nothing but revenge seeking.
pretend at the least, that the government of Iran had no nuclear weapon intentions, and had no facilities with the capacity to make nuclear weapons and pretend they were a dirt poor country with no oil. The government of Iran slaughtered mercilessly their own citizens who protested against them. And even if it was just one person who died at the hands of simple protest against their government, and died at the direction and hands of said government, that is enough justification to have that government removed from power. For me anyhow.
Kim Jung Un and his line would have been eradicated had it not been for the backing of China and gaining Nuclear Weapons. Kim Jung Un and his family are insane and have done far worse to their citizens and the world lets it go because they have Nuclear Weapons, and they dont want to tangle with China.
Mean while what happens with Russia and Ukraine, nothing, why, Because Russia has Nuclear Weapons.
But hey, put it like this, if people love the government of Iran so much, and it breaks their heart to see what is going on, you should pack your **** and go to Iran and fight for the Iranian government. Because pissing here online where ever your free ass is sitting, isnt going to change anything.
An if you hate the oil industry so much, and how the evil empire of America is taking all the worlds oil, those people could at least do their part to not be apart of the problem ,and stop using any form of oil in their life, at a minimum stop driving gas driven cars and go all electric and then figure out how to generate electricity while not using coal or oil. including in ones home.
No one is forcing anyone to stay in America, please if anyone hates America so much you are losing sleep over it at night, and every 4 - 8 years when your party loses an election and you have to go riot and protest in the streets and lose your brain over a lost election, maybe it is just time to pack your **** and leave the country and go to China or North Korea; somewhere, where your level of common sense prevails.
An for those outside of America that hate us so much, well, tough titty, sucks to be you. Hate all ya want but maybe think twice if ya wana shout death to America and fund terrorist groups, and work decades on a nuclear weapons program.
I don't think Americans citizens should have to leave. I think the real problem here is the media. They don't report news. They create narratives to fit an agenda. Left or Right media. The don't educate. They misinform. It should be criminal to take one portion of a speech or video out of context and change its complete meaning or lie about it. The media shouldn't be tampering with our elections. They need to do away with opinion pieces and go back to facts whether it be Fox news or MSNBC or whoever. They're all liars to some extent or another. 99% truth and 1% lie is still a lie.
You remember when Viktor Orban was elected in Hungary? They said it was the last real election the country would ever have and that he would be a dictator and violate human rights? He lead the country for 16 years and the people absolutely loved him. Then a scandal happened that threatened his power. Did he suspend the election? Did he kill his political opponents? No. He lost the election and promptly handed over power the next day. This is a prime example of people's short memories. I would feel so foolish if I was mislead like that. I think many people who weigh in on politics think of it like sports. They think they are scoring points and enjoy the fighting. They couldn't care less about truth. It's a game to them.
Foreigners are of course gonna complain. They stand to lose a lot if America stops money and military from going overseas. I don't really care about their opinion because of this bias. I am not against helping other countries or trade, but we need to get our affairs in order before we look out for other countries.
Also Trump just turned down going to the U.N. for the meeting about migration. It wants everyone to agree to continue mass migration while also pushing to normalize it through speeches and media in their own countries. Globalism is failing. Look at the UK. The Reform UK party just dominated the elections there. The governments of the world are supposed to represent their people. Not everyone else's.
I am not anti-capitalism, but it needs to be reigned in sometimes and over the last 30 years it has really gotten out of hand.
For example we don't have a shortage of oil. American gas prices should not be going up much if at all. We get 8% of our oil from the middle east. They are price gouging us while selling oil to foreign countries. I absolutely hate what Capitalism has become. It has no ideals. No national pride. Let's say if Trump limited them on how much oil they could sell foreign countries right now they'd just slow down production to keep prices high and then point at the government with their media friends and say, "The government cost you these jobs and gas is still expensive."
Right now the DoJ is investigating the big 4 meat packing companies. There's evidence to prove price fixing.
Globalism has amazing potential. It was just executed terribly because of the greed of Capitalism. The corruption that happens in Communist and Socialist countries still happens in Capitalism. Individuals and groups that gain too much wealth as it centralizes corrupt the government.
