Lots of nonsense here. The only thing that might be correct is your last pointbut I don't think in the way you meant it. It was Iraq that launched a surprise war against Iran.

Would such a law violate the Constitution?

Of course it is unfair to ascribe the poor performance of the economy to Trump when it was clearly due to covid. And I'm sure you equally condemn blaming Biden for the economic problems he inherited such as high inflation due to shortages because of covid. And praise him for the low unemployment rate just as you would praise Trump. And also, I am sure you equally condemn those who blame Obama for the state of the economy he inherited in the wake of the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression. Because, after all, that is the honorable thing to do.

Bound to be an objective documentary given that Al Jazeera is an arm of the Qatari government which derives virtually of its income from the sale of natural gas.

Please share with us any evidence that Trump was able to deal with Putin effectively? That he didn't even allow any advisors with him when he spoke with Putin in Finland? That he sided with Putin over the U.S. intelligence in Finland"? That he afterwards retracted that comment? That he violated the law by refusing for months to ship armaments to Ukraine? The he defended Russia's invasion of Crimea? What negotiating did Trump ever do with Putin?

Biden's recession? Unemployment is at historically low levels. There's been strong GDP growth as well

It isn't just that. He effectively made it impossible for other nations to conduct trade with Iraq by threatening to cut them out of the SWIFT banking system if they did so. So the agreement yielded virtually no benefits for the Iranians.

Thanks for the falsehood. Do you have any use at all for reality? Unless, of course what you mean by "going nowhere" is that the agreement effectively resulted in a halt to Iran's development of nuclear weapons. In fact, even Israeli intelligence sources believed it was effective and leaving it was a mistake: TOP ISRAELI SECURITY EXPERTS AGREE — WITHDRAWING FROM THE JCPOA NUCLEAR AGREEMENT HAS BEEN A TOTAL FAILURE https://jstreet.org/top-israeli-security-experts-agree-withdrawing-from-jcpoa-has-been-a-total-failure/

Doesn't it depend on what kind of solar panels are being used?

Obama Has Done More for Clean Energy Than You Think The program has made a profit of nearly $1 billion in interest payments to the U.S Treasury to date. At least $5 billion more is expected over the next few decades as loans are paid back. That compares with $780 million in losses to date, the bulk of which is accounted for by the $535 million loaned to Solyndra. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/obama-has-done-more-for-clean-energy-than-you-think/#:~:text=The program has made a,%24535 million loaned to Solyndra.

It's not as simple as how many people there are. It's how much each person consumes: Carbon emissions of richest 1 percent more than double the emissions of the poorest half of humanity The richest 10 percent accounted for over half (52 percent) of the emissions added to the atmosphere between 1990 and 2015. The richest one percent were responsible for 15 percent of emissions during this time – more than all the citizens of the EU and more than twice that of the poorest half of humanity (7 percent). During this time, the richest 10 percent blew one third of our remaining global 1.5C carbon budget, compared to just 4 percent for the poorest half of the population. The carbon budget is the amount of carbon dioxide that can be added to the atmosphere without causing global temperatures to rise above 1.5C – the goal set by governments in the Paris Agreement to avoid the very worst impacts of uncontrolled climate change. https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/carbon-emissions-richest-1-percent-more-double-emissions-poorest-half-humanity

So we agree that the US forces aren't welcome to the Syrian govt.

You think they're unwelcome to the Kurds?

What do you suggest Biden do? Give in to the hardliners' demands? Do you think this is some kind of board game? Because of Trump, even worse people now have the upper hand in Iran. People who want nuclear weapons. Why should they seriously negotiate with the US? And given that Trump or someone very much like him could be the next president, who would truckle to the Israelis, Saudis, and the UAE, does it even make sense for them to negotiate?

You must live in a some kind of information bubble not to know of the protracted and arduous attempts of the Biden administration to revive the agreement with the Iranians. Instead, all you've got to offer is baseless snark. As I noted above, once the Trump administration withdrew from the agreement and waged economic warfare on the Iranians, it was a huge blessing for the Iranian hardliners who could point to the uselessness of negotiating. They raised their demands far beyond what they got in the original deal.

You clearly have no knowledge of the Iran nuclear deal framework. It was actually an amazing accomplishment of the Obama administration that got China and Russia on board as well as the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_nuclear_deal_framework#:~:text=According to details of the,almost 20%2C000 centrifuges it possesses. But then the Trump administration decided to withdraw from the agreement after at the urging of the Israelis and the Saudis and the UAE. And by the Trump administration I mean Jared Kushner. And not only did it decide to withdraw but it also made it virtually impossible for other countries to do business with Iran. So why wouldn't Iran push for nuclear weapons? As the situation in Ukraine has shown, nuclear weapons give a certain degree of security to a threatened nation.

The Iranians upped their demands. Hardliners got the edge once the Trump administration withdrew from the deal. The U.S. was engaged in long and arduous negotiations with the Iranians.

The problem with your reasoning is that you're assuming it's a one-off. But given that earth's orbit limits what can be observed to whatever is observable from its orbit, how do you know that?

Actually, it was Biden's predecessor who abandoned the agreement and set Iran on its present course.

Are you referring to the genuine 15 minute city concept or something else?

My reply was to yellowtail who was following the rules laid down by Connda in his 2nd question which stipulates 15 minutes by auto Of course it's a purposely misleading question since connda chose the subject line to read Do you support "15 minute cities" in order to save the planet from man-made global warming? Obviously it's an attempt to tie the real 15 minute city program to some dystopian vision. His question also stipulates that residents are forbidden from leaving their district It's B.S. of course, since the actual 15 minute cities program is about 15 minute access by walking or bike ride. And nowhere in the 15 minute city concept is there any reference to forbidding people from leaving their district. Why even mention the 15 minute city concept if your question has nothing to do with it? Obviously it's there to mislead.

As I noted in my previous post this study was published in 2021. October of 2021 to be exact. And where did you come up with the idea that even the original study, published in 2013, was rarely brought up in its time? Got any evidence of that. As expect it did elicit a lot of howls from the denialists. Anyway the new study followed the protocol of the old study. Basically they gathered all the climatological studies they could. In this case that amounted to about 80,000 studies. They used abstracts that had the names of the authors deleted to eliminate personal bias. Then they randomly chose 3000 of those articles and searched for any reference in them, either positive or negative, to the issue of human caused climate change. And the result was that 99.9 percent of the citations were in support of climate change. In fact, only 4 articles were found with negatives. In other words, you've got nothing.

Since when does a fifteen minute driving range mean there's nowhere "nowhere to go"

You forgot "stop burning fossil fuels".

Thank you for your deflection.
