@Vermillion-Rx taking away say 80 out of the 100 or so neuclear bombs they gave to Israel would be quite an argument for Iran to reach a deal, no?
@Vermillion-Rx maybe.
Maybe Russia and China won't up their WWIII ante for Iran's sake.
But it's quite clear that the US expansionism can't go on forever without them answering. If it's not Iran, it will be the next occasion.
There's a good old tradition of how wars are prevented, and that's by people countering the aggression of their own side. So, in principle, it falls on the Iranians to counter Iranian aggression, and on the Americans to counter their own. I believe it's a road worthy of following, even if its chances are slim.
What's the alternative?
@adam-l Iran is both years away and not with both being the truth. Creating a physics package for enriched uranium is trivial. Hell, we didn't even test one before dropping a U bomb on Japan. They could have easily build everything they needed into parts and then just waited until the enriched fuel was ready, They would be simultaneously be not working on the bomb but on the brink too. It comes down to enrichment, which is why that is what everyone has been talking about lately.
My view is that he sweet talks, while working aggressively behind the scenes. The document @Lionsmane8 linked is informative, but one can probably infer it: Israel doesn't have the capacity to wage a constant airborne war with Iran on its own, not even for a few days.
And it's not about the neuclear weapons too: the US secret services said so: Iran is years away.
It's about Iran being the closer ally of Russia and China in the area.
This is not an Israeli initiative. These are the first skirmishes of WWIII.
It dovetails with the push for domestic reindustrialization. It makes sense when the US has weapon supremacy and AI initiative: they figure they'll perfect their AI weapons while on the war faster than the opposition.
The "makes sense" is still figurative, of course, when neuclears are involved. There's a psychopathic core in about every country, that needs to externalize this kind of drama, otherwise they go crazy. That is, I wish is was the economy. I'm afraid not. It's the decline. Its psychological aspect. Once you win (and they won over the working class and the late Left), you go crazy because you no longer have an enemy to define yourself against.
In any case, I believe that we should support peace instead of victory. That's the lesson of history.
Read More@adam-l You have to remember the powers that be are always pushing for war- every single part of the deep state. You'll notice he still keeps putting out diplomatic messages "just sign the agreement bro" and it is every other mechanism inching closer to WW3 despite it. They're trying to force his hand. He is the first president of my lifetime that wasn't gung-ho pushing the propaganda himself.
And yeah, I think Israel is trying to goad us into it.
@redpillschool I don't follow the US internals too much. I'm mostly referring to what happens worldwide. Trump campaigned that "he'd end the war in a week" and instead he is about to declare WWIII any moment...
@adam-l I mean that's why we have the "dark winter" tribe. That said, I love both you and mento but if you think the libs gets to riot summer-of-love style (including declaring autonomous zones) without some pushback from the law and order men, well, you're drinking some koolaid.
Many blue states are literally being invaded by foreign nationals, waving other countries' flags. I say the national guard isn't enough if you come here to be violent.
I'm sick of apologizing for wanting my country to remain mine.
Things are going to get so out of hand, that we should probably protect TRP as a sexual strategy discussion space?
@redpillschool ponder this?
I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by:
The good news is that in old age there's a psychological switch,
It refers to the endgame. You never really stop desiring new and young women, but it stops being that red haze of lust, it's easier to manage.
Now it might last one or two nights and I'm right back at it regardless of her feelings about it.
Now I'm the one who lost you. In a Long Term Relationship there will be fluctuation of the sexual activity, if that's what you refer to. It's normal to have days, sometimes if there are other pressing issues even weeks without sex, and then to resume.
I try not focusing on the negative what ifs
From your posts, you seem able to get a replacement girl easily. That's way ahead than most guys get to. That's your backup plan, taken care of, so you can focus on the other things in your life. It's as good as it gets...
