It's much simpler than that.  You're dismissing a comparison because you don't understand what is actually being compared. The comparison isn't between countries, it's between geographically strategic maritime chokepoints and the consequences of one state attempting to leverage control over an international waterway.  Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has repeatedly used the Strait of Hormuz as a strategic bargaining chip, threatening to close it, seizing tankers, harassing commercial shipping and using access to one of the world's most important trade routes as political leverage. That isn't a hypothetical, it's decades of documented behaviour.  As for Iran itself, the tragedy is that the Iranian people have endured over four decades of rule by a theocratic regime that has prioritised exporting its revolutionary ideology and funding proxy groups across the region over the prosperity of its own citizens. They deserved, and still deserve, far better than the leadership imposed on them after 1979.   Meanwhile, myopic reflex might simply be anti-American (anti-republican / trump) and appears to have become a substitute for historical context. If this is the case - then once you view every event through that single lens, everything that happened beforehand conveniently disappears and further discussion is pointless.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:55:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Going-To-The-Dogs?: 2nd-Gen Asian-Americans?

If this is really true.....  I am SO SORRY to know this. This must have been, and truly was, a parent's worst nightmare.  THE PROBLEM is that parent's no matter how much they care, and they DO CARE SO MUCH, are unable to steer their young girls away from this kind of danger, when children are blind to what parents are able to clearly see.  It could have been even worse, I suppose, and sometimes is.  These days, there are many who say/maybe-believe that all cultures are equal. But, this kind of BLIND-FAITH and STUPID THINKING is not realistic, nor is it based on reality.  There is such a thing as immutability of personality. When one grows up in a slum, one never fully sheds the influences of the experience.  Culture is Crucial:  As for me, I prefer Chinese Culture, and always will.  ============= Again, sorry to hear what your daughter endured, and what you must have endured, for years.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:51:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dissolving Illusions > Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396966-dissolving-illusions-disease-vaccines-and-the-forgotten-history/?do=findComment&comment=20572416]]></link><description>So using your argument that is why the bubonic plague fatalities have been eradicated?

Certainly many of the Russian speakers in Crimea would prefer Russian control, but many others probably don&#x2019;t want to live under an authoritarian dictatorship. Crimean Tatars have been persecuted at various times over the centuries by Russian overlords, so they would certainly prefer Ukrainian control. Crimea was part of the Russian SFSR until 1954, when Khrushchev handed it over to the Ukrainian SSR at a time when the transfer was largely a meaningless gesture, so Russia might have a stronger historical claim to Crimea than to other parts of present-day Ukraine.   Add to that, any present-day polling on the issue is entirely unreliable, given the absolute control that Russian authorities have imposed on the local press in Crimea. And there&#x2019;s the illegal nature of Russia&#x2019;s unilateral annexation of the region in 2014.   My guess would be, most Crimeans, including many if not most Russian speakers, would prefer to live under Ukraine than under Russia. Beyond &#x201C;ethnic roots,&#x201D; whatever that means, it&#x2019;s a choice between living in a country with expanding ties to the West (including the prospect of EU membership), and the relative prosperity and freedom that brings, versus living in a dictatorship with limited prosperity and seriously restricted freedoms. All of the Russian speakers still living in Latvia and Estonia, for instance, could relocate to Russia at any time. But why the heck would they want to do that?</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:50:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Reflecting Pool Debacle: Metaphor of Trump's Administration</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397304-the-reflecting-pool-debacle-metaphor-of-trumps-administration/?do=findComment&comment=20572413]]></link><description>You need to look at what you posted Quote "They cant&#x2019; sue anyone." who is suing Judges and prosecutors do you know how courts work ?? if you are suing you would be suing the Park dept which is ther right and i think iam right about yourself !!! people sue police dept, ect every day people can sue others, as well as businesses and government entities, to resolve civil disputes and seek compensation for damages, such as money, or court orders to stop certain actions.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 11:48:49 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
