The Chinese are chuckling in the wings, as now they will be ignored for a while....they are a bigger thereat on the long term then anybody else...

Depends on your point of view. IMO the most powerful military force in the world is like an arthritis sufferer. Use it or lose it. So the USA keeps getting itself into conflicts, led by a President who is impulsive and vindictive. Who is the bigger threat just now?

I love this parag. That is whole purpose of sanctions.

 

 

 

Not to mention the fact that protests are going on right now demanding the Khameini quit. They know they have the eyes of the world on them and have actually been emboldened to challenge the current regime. Not sure where this misguided nonsense that the protests against the regime have stopped.

As usual just plain BS from a pathetic,  unhappy, no life hater. I can not think of an American who would prefer to be identified as a Canadian, unless of course it is some Cheap Charlie looking for an excuse not to leave a tip.

when asked I personally smile and say I am an American, and if the rude ass questioning continues and President Trump’s name comes up my response is I love our President, as opposed to the previous 8 years when my reply was I love my country.

i hope you have a great day spending all your time confirming to us your only pleasure in life is displaying how pitiful your life is spreading BS to to a bunch of people you don’t know from Adam. I think I will do enjoy another great day in Thailand and you made me so happy I think I will wear my MAGA hat, and perhaps in the future you can try to get your facts right when like most haters you find yourself generalizing.

My thoughts exactly.  When in public here in Isaan, I often hear the word “Farang!” As someone gestures toward me.  I always acknowledge and correct them with “Proud American farang!”

Guess my answer would also depend on your point of view. And IMHO, would it be fair to solely accuse Trump of sending out US troops all over and that would suggest that his distinguished predecessors did not ? Maybe TRUMP is having to inherit and clean up the mess left by the previous establishments ? Or maybe, as you suggest, he is the bad guy in the whole global war zone game arena while his predessors were empathic angels who did not invade a single country or start a single war ?????

They need to change the titles of these articles to reflect the truth.

 

U.S. Kills Thousands More Innocent Women and Children in Iran after missile attacks in Iraq

 

In the coming decades I believe if the world wakes up sanctions will actually be thought of as terrorism. Have no idea why it is not happening sooner.

 

Innocents are just being killed slowly is the only difference between say bombing innocents.
