You mean… send THEM to clear all the mines?

But he already had…

Trump already looks like a twit though.

He loses nothing by asking….

Or… he’s asking them to take losses because he doesn’t consider them allies. World conquest would be easier with the Chinese and UK navies out of the way.

Gambling with “world war three” — you mean like attacking a large nation that’s friendly with China and Russia and has a choke hold on international shipping of crude oil?

Most people who put more than 250k in a single bank in a single account type won’t be using the bank’s insurance for protection.

We should really call a vote of non confidence if they do. Regime change should always start at home.

I’m unsure if that’s supposed to be an observation or a retort.

Well yeah; if that agreement had gone through, Israel and the US would have lost all leverage over Iran. They had to stop it at any cost.

Plus, it distracts from Epstein and Netanyahu’s current troubles.

Unless that’s backed up by a wireshark session demonstrating no data sent, or a reversing analysis that shows a lack of capability in the software, the policy is just words.

A concept of a spine. Last year they held the line right up until it might have made a difference, remember.

You can turn that off.

For me, speakerphone goes on temporarily if I need multiple people to be able to both listen and speak to an existing conversation.

Otherwise, they join the call on their own devices.

I find holding a phone up to my cheek really annoying though; I could see secondary exceptions for people with wireless headphones whose batteries had just died.

How about neither?

That’s what HE said!

Small price to pay for distracting people from the Epstein files.

Done by Israel. Seemed obvious from the start.

Totally different. This is a multi-way religious war with Sunnis and Shias taking sides, and then Jews and Christians piling in. And on top of that is oil and nuclear weapons.

Iran has been kept destabilized by the rest of the world for the past 50 years because it brings stability to the rest of the region. KSA, UAE, Oman and Qatar are all quite happy to have Iran playing defense, as is Pakistan (traditional Persian lands and culture overlap most of the current national boundaries).

The main players in the Middle East have been fighting for the last 3,000 or so years, and it hasn’t been a cold fight. The US is traditionally willing to pour just enough weaponry into the area to keep things off balance.

That’s the way; study political science in university and set up a PAC towards your election for some far off date. Have anyone interested donate to the PAC, and then spend years trying to get elected after you graduate, using those funds for your campaign — many different types of activities can count as campaigning.
