Iran could have surrendered its nuclear program

This represents a simplistic and very dull mainstream take on the topic.

Iran has been fully cooperative with IAEA inspectors. Trump's own National Security advisor told him clearly that no evidence exists that Iran is currently, or has going back to the early 2000s, working on any kind of nuclear weapons program.

You know what nation in the region is NOT compliant with IAEA and other standards about a large undeclared nuclear arsenal that they possess? Israel.

Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran in the midst of Iran cooperating with international inspectors, goes to show that perhaps Iran SHOULD have possessed a nuclear weapon as a deterrent!

Now Pakistan has stepped in, to announce to Israel that they will use their own atomic weapons on Israel if it uses any on Iraq.

Are you really sure about supporting Israel's actions here??? Have you thought the situation through and looked deeper than what MSM is saying about this developing situation?

@redpillschool

The Marines didn't touch any civilians, and so far I haven't heard of any reports of non-violent peaceful protesters being harmed in any way.

Because, again, they were not needed or wanted by local law enforcement- Trump deploying them was 100% performative. Everything was 100% under control.

the left lost any moral high-ground when they threw their last tantrum. The left seems to think they can use political violence every time they don't get their own way,

This is not considered a "left" issue by people living in Los Angeles. Again, this was a political stunt, an avatar for issues that get the Right Wing base riled up. But right-leaning people here in Los Angeles don't feel threatened or invaded by "The Mexicans.

It's a REALLY BAD precedent to send troops into cities to deal with civilian law enforcement matters. Frankly I'm disappointed to see you defending this so.

Introducing some isms

Deploying military troops for civilian law enforcement, IS AUTHORITARIAN by its nature. The rhetoric I hear people not from Los Angeles using about immigrants and the ICE raids, IS the language of small minded racist fucks. If you don't want to own it, that's on you, but I see dismissing this as "Isms" a cowardly cop out.

@MentORPHEUS Here's the problem. The left lost any moral high-ground when they threw their last tantrum. The left seems to think they can use political violence every time they don't get their own way, and it's a serious problem. Especially when the people on the right get jail time and arrested for defending themselves.

You guys hit the country with your bully tactics and then clutch your pearls every time you get what you wanted: a reaction.

The national guard was a good call. The left now knows we're not going to tolerate political violence.

The Marines didn't touch any civilians, and so far I haven't heard of any reports of non-violent peaceful protesters being harmed in any way.

So all of your tears are hyperbole over something that isn't happening, while simultaneously defending the group that keeps on starting these damn fights.

racism and authoritarianism

Introducing some isms because the left can't win an argument without them.
