Ungrateful parasites. The revenue from the tourists keeps the hospitality sector afloat and the tax revenues pay for their social services.

The airspace over Syria, Iran and Iraq is closed and yet Cargolux CLX9877 a B747 freighter has been flying from Shanghai to Luxembourg, and is the only aircraft currently flying over Iran now, and is near Tehran. Curious. I have been watching its route. How it obtained flight clearance, let alone has not been shot done is a mystery.

The USA lived up to its obligations in the nuclear treaty. Iran did not and it was processing uranium all along and working to create long range missiles that could deliver nuclear weapon payloads. The agreement could not have been made into a treaty because the agreement did not have the foundation nor characteristics of a treaty. There was little support for the agreement in the Senate. Don't you remember the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015? The Bill gave Congress the right to review any agreement reached with Iran. The bill passed in the Senate by a 98–1 vote and was therefore veto proof. It passed in the House by a vote of 400–25. The agreement with Iran was the best that the international community was going to get.

Very unfair tragedy and another heartbreaking event. Could be any of us on any given day. Stories like this reinforce my current behavior not to get close to dump trucks, trailers carrying heavy construction loads like piping and, cement trucks . They don't seem to maintain their vehicles or to properly secure their loads in Thailand.

You assume they own the vehicles. The last estimate I saw for private passenger vehicles subject to loans/financing/leasing was 80%. That means that the leasing company or bank or third part funder is going to incur a financial loss price because the borrower will not have the funds to satisfy the debt iif thee vehicle is taken. Do you think Kasikorn or SCB or others would not object?

There are some pictograms posted that indicate no motorbikes on the sidewalk/footpath. However, there is no need to post no vehicles on the beach because it is common sense and in most jurisdictions general public vehicles are not allowed on beaches for safety reasons, in particular the running over or otherwise injuring of people who may be lying on the beach. The hint that vehicles are not allowed, is the absence of vehicles on the beach. The real crime that was not addressed, was the driver's choice of white feminine sandals as footwear.

I expect that potential spectators would have stayed away from the army parade for good reason; 1. Gridlock. Getting around DC has been a nightmare for residents, because of the additional security needed. 2. Fear of a terrorist attack or civil protest. All it takes is one maniac in a vehicle. We have seen it at other events. Sometimes the person is just a drunk or mentally ill, but they can do damage. 3. US citizens support their military, and love their July 4 parades, but a Russian or Chinese style parade rubs alot of patriotic people the wrong way, especially career military. Whatever their political views. the US military officer corps bristles at being used as a political prop.

Because the people who pay the low wages do not want to pay higher wages. The offshoring of manufacturing occurred in large part because of wage differences.

Sure you are. You are not fooling anyone. You are just trying to incite and upset, pretending to be a supporter. I believe that you want people to believe that Trump's supporters are mental deficients predisposed to violence and extremist views.

The events of the past that you so casually dismiss are ongoing. Iran has been at this since 1980. Wherever the Iranian government has meddled war, destruction, pestilence, famine and tragedy as been its outcome. The 600,000 dead, 14 million refugees and a nation lying in ruins was a direct result of Iran propping up Assad the tyrant in Syria. The mess of Yemen is the result of Iranian support of its Houthi proxy. The mess that Lebanion is with a shiite state within a state, where Hezbollah does not respect the government is because of Iran. The devastation in Gaza is because of Iran's support and patronage of Hamas and other extremist groups. The violence in Chad and Libya is in large part because of iranian support. etc. etc. etc. The Israeli response to continued aggression by Iran was inevitable once Iran refused to work with the USA to achieve a nuclear agreement.

Your claim is politically expedient, but not supported by reality. The people alive in Iran today, do not remember the 1950's. Life expectancy for Iranians who were alive in the 1970's and 1980's ranged from age 50-58. The last Iranian revolution was 45 years ago. This means that a growing number of that generation is dead and buried or elderly. The reality is that the school curriculum teaches a hatred of western culture, and the Iranian government doctrine is one of hate. The Iranian government and its religious institutions promote hate and violence. Th mosques are used to control the masses, to spread doctrine and to incite violence and hate. One will never hear the Iman tell his congregation to turn the other cheek or to love one's neighbor as thyself. That is your Iran of 2025. The USA has been trying to normalize relations with Iran and instead Iran has meddled in the affairs of Saudi Arabie, UAE, Bahrain, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and the PLA. Wherever it has gone, its doctrine is one of shiite inspired hate against Sunnis. Christians , Bahaists, Hindus and Jews.

The majority of politically motivated shootings, women's health care provider attacks and mass shooting events are carried out by older white males. This issue has been discussed before, and the data posted. The growing reality of this murder is that the responsible party was an extremist who supported the MAGA agenda. Uneducated, older white male who was a failure and desperately wanted to have importance, venting his frustration on imagined enemies. Sound familiar? He resembles some of the people who post their hateful rhetoric here.

Except, you really are not a MAGA supporter.

Source?

If it turns out to be a right wing agenda, will you acknowledge that? Historically, violent anti abortionists have not been "liberal", nor democrats.

That's what I would be focused on. Once salt water gets into the electronics and nooks and crannies, that's it.

It is possible that a great deal of the upper section is not heavy, and is instead covering for the missile silos and helicopter hangar.

So, no seatbelts or airbags?

One need not engage. Just ignore and carry on.

The USA long before Trump, during the Carter term supported human rights and was sympathetic to the ideals of the Iranian revolution. The USA did not take in the Shah and he died in exile in Egypt. The Iran hostage event occurred during President Carter's term. The Iranians had every opportunity to normalize relations with the USA since then but instead chose to be hostile. Blaming the USA is victim blaming.

I do not share the optimism of some people here. Iran has no hesitation in the use of mass suicide fighters. There are still tens of thousands of Hezbollah fighters willing to die, safe in Lebanon. It is 1500km from Iran to Israel via Iraq and Syria. Iran has almost 1 million people in its military and could easily deploy 500,000 through Iraq and Syria. It would be the worst kept secret, but the IDF could not stop that many people. Iran has hundreds more missiles hidden away and some of them are getting through. All it takes is a few of them carrying radioactive materials, or even a prototype warhead obtained via North Korea or Russia to cause serious damage to Israel. If Iran's oil and gas sector is neutralized, its financial support evaporates. Before that happens, it is possible that Iran takes out the UAE and maybe the KSA oil facilities.

Iran attempted to kill President Trump multiple times. Iran has sponsored international terrorism and global cyber attacks. Iran has been intimidating and harassing Iranian dissidents around the world including attempted assassinations. Iran regularly threatens to destroy the USA. A friday prayer in Iran typically ends with chants of death to America. In what civilized nation does the parliament arise in unison to chant death to America? 10 years ago, Iran was in nuclear talks too, negotiating in bad faith. And what did the Ayotollah say? Death to America

It is up to the Iranian dissident community to do that. If Israel can manage to degrade Iran's military capability, there may indeed be a new revolution. I see the social media posts of death to khomeini chants coming from some neighborhoods. It is sort of a coincidence when the attacks started on the day, the regime has cracked down on dog ownership threatening to take away vehicle licenses if dogs are found in automobiles, and to otherwise punish people for walking a dog. The regime is not universally popular. You are obviously unaware or refusing to accept the corroborated reports that Iran had attempted to conceal its additional nuclear production and stockpile of radioactive products. You are also ignoring the fact that Trump warrned Iran that it had a peaceful way out. There was a 60 day window and the iranians were acting in bad faith, refusing to consider proposals given to them. Iran is throwing everything it has at Israel including its ballistic and cruise missiles. Every time Iran launches a missile, the Israeli satellites capture the launch points. They are then targeted the next time the IDF visits. The last fight with Israel saw the loss of Iran's air major defense capabilities. Israel is probably waiting to target Iran as it sets up for its next launch. The Iranian leadership is cowering in its fortified bunkers now.

The Libyans don't want them either. The resistance is not because the Arabs do not sympathize with the Gazans plight.It's just that they do not want to be used by political groups who have a tacit support of the extremist groups who have caused problems in their own countries previously. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which plunged Egypt into chaos for years.

Does the health ministry report on the numbers actually killed by Hamas and others because they are trying to sabotage the distribution of aid? Why are the Gazan numbers accepted as is?
