Do you believe Iran should be allowed to continue developing their intercontinental ballistic missile and military drone programs?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:45:23 +0000Do you believe Israel shouldFri, 12 Jun 2026 12:44:36 +0000At least he can spell.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:44:20 +0000Both sides committed atrocities and murdered civilians. Interestingly modern Japan is incredibly pacifist and peaceful precisely because as a country they've been through hell and seen the consequences of an all out war. You see this reflected in Japanese media like anime: war is always described as horrific, as opposed to other societies (Iran, North Korea, Palestinians, etc) that glorify (holy) war. And that's what many westerners who have never been through war don't understand: you cannot make peace with societies who glorify war.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:44:11 +0000Been there, got the T-ShirtFri, 12 Jun 2026 12:43:39 +0000Hasn't been in Thailand long enough and is acting like a Brit. We did that on logging roads, not in traffic. What is it with Brits? They're in the crime headlines every day, then in the forums excusing their countrymen's poor behaviour and criminality. No wonder their country is in the gutter.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:43:14 +0000I tend to agree with you. Should the ICC become involved it might prevent people traveling however.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:41:58 +0000I was asking you, because it seems some people believe Iran does not want the bomb, but you agree they do, correct?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:41:13 +0000that is one of the problems with Yanks they think sunshines come out of there arse ! very arrogant people! been in the states for a lot of years working it is a shxt hole homeless, drugs, crime but they do a nice steak !Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:41:10 +0000President Trump is doing an excellent job. God Bless America!!Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:39:46 +0000Two easy questions with one obvious answer. There's a difference between what you and I both believe and agree that Iran should not have, and what the IRGC and the Mullahs believe Iran should have. Why are you asking me?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:39:14 +0000So, how did you get on?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:38:56 +0000And I think the highest teacher pay. I think every teacher should have to get a 1,200 on the SAT every three years to be recertified.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:38:18 +0000Everyone was arrested.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:36:54 +00001963-70 just north of SF where I moved coming back to America. Teachers were paid well enough to live in the same city or county they worked in. They could buy houses and raise families themselves. Now the same place they cant afford to rent or buy in those cities or counties and often have to commute 30-60 miles each way. That is a big indicator to me. Laying no blame, just saying that is the way it is.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:36:38 +0000My "god" is bigger better and badder than your "god"....so lets all kill each other for centuries over our insane beliefs that"our" religion is "best". Humans are brainwashed from birth to believe whatever religion rules their place of birth. Never occurs to them that they are totally brainwashed. Born in Iraq? Muslim. Born in India? Hindu. Born in Italy? Catholic. Born in USA? Evangelical. Thailand? Buddhist. Take the exact same person and have them grow up in a different country and they will believe what they are told to believe. So much for independent thinking. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that where you are born and raised is the "religion" that you will adopt. Has little to nothing to do with actually using your brain to examine exactly what you are being told from birth is the "true" religion. Praise jesus, allah, invisible guy in the sky and pass the ammunition.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:35:51 +0000Do you believe Iran should be allowed to continue developing their nuclear program? Do you believe Iran should be allowed to continue developing their intercontinental ballistic missile and military drone programs?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:35:21 +0000California has the second lowest literacy rate in the nation. In 2024 CA managed from move from 50th to 49th. https://edsource.org/2024/3-out-of-10-california-adults-struggle-with-basic-reading/710702Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:35:02 +0000And that's the gist of it all. Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war and saved countless lives (the Japanese were willing to fight to the end before that). And ever since then the mere threat of nuclear weapons makes adversaries reconsider attacks. That's a great thing when it comes to developed free democratic societies like the US and Europe, but a threat to the rest of the world when totalitarian regimes hold it. Imagine a world where Iran has nuclear weapons: on a whim the supreme leader decides he wants to obliterate Israel and sends a barrage of missiles with nuclear warheads - a few of them would be shot down, but it's enough for a few to hit and destroy all of central Israel, and take out most of the West Bank and maybe Gaza with it. So the bottom line is: a few totalitarian regimes like Russia and North Korea already have nuclear weapons - others like Iran must not be allowed to develop them. (and Iran specifically would no-doubt use it if they got it)Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:35:02 +0000Other countries are going to line up hoping Trump attacks them, too. This is like the plot of that old movie "The Mouse That Roared". What a dealmaker!Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:34:01 +0000Going by your logic Trump must be a leftist then, because the only thing he's doing is enriching himself, his family and his friendsFri, 12 Jun 2026 12:33:52 +0000For all the talk about Trump's latest TACO moment, University of Chicago professor Robert Pape argues Iran's leverage is growing, not shrinking. He says we're in the middle game, not the endgame, and Iran has little reason to cut a deal when tightening oil inventories could increase pressure on the U.S. Pape says experts are debating whether the oil inventory cliff arrives around July 25 or August 7 and warns gas prices could hit $7–7.50 by September. If so, Iran may simply wait while economic and political pressure on Trump builds ahead of the midterms.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:33:46 +0000I’ve no idea. Were most arrested?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:32:59 +0000
