Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Get Russia, China, and Europe involved in negotiations. Present Russia's plan of keeping Iran's enriched uranium and issuing it as need to Iran for peaceful purposes.

Funny... Trump said Iran has no cards

To back away now would leave Iran as the new hegemon in the region. We would face profound economic and strategic consequences as the petrodollar is rerouted to China, and the Gulf states realign their loyalties, policies and investments.

This would impact us with mounting interest rates, inflation and slower growth. U.S. credibility as an ally and global force would be shattered. Withdrawing from NATO would only deepen the problem.

This war has fucked the US over.

He could have been President. He could have been a conservative but honorable and good president. I desperately wish we had Wes Clark instead of GWB or Trump, things would look a lot different.
