  • Trump and Iran Are Both in Impossible Positions

    Jump

  • I'm not saying Iran doesn't have problems or that its population isn't suffering under the attacks, but... Does OP think Iran lacks engineers, bureaucrats, and economists? Iranian leadership is vastly more impressive than the goons we sent to negotiate with them.

    Iran's position is also quite strong for the moment. Its population is not upset with the government but with the Epstein Coalition. Iran maintains a massive arsenal of drones and missiles, and shows no fear in escalating. And oh, that little Strait of Hormuz may soon be augmented by Houthis closing of Bab al-Mandeb

    The Epstein Coalition position, by contrast, is weak and failing. All US bases in the region are basically destroyed. They gave no way to get men into Iran. They have lost expensive military hardware. Zionist Entity is paying the price for US aggression and its population will suffer from further escalation. The economic fallout for Epstein Coalition is going to be severe and I'm genuinely terrified of what's coming.

    Given their strong position, why shouldn't Iran demand frozen assets be returned?

  • Actually it would give pause to the next wannabe dictator. Violence is sometimes the correct course of action

  • This gets to the heart of the issue. The article would have us wait for an election to magically wipe away everything wrong

  • They're not a party. They're a marketing company

  • Americans are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

    Jump

  • So then it's not an "immigration crackdown"

  • Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders

  • Anything is better than what we have. I'm in Korea, which has a public-private mix. It works really well overall, and is vastly cheaper for the average person than USA healthcare. They have public insurance, which includes dental and vision. Even if you're uninsured, most things are cheap

  • Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders

    Jump

  • Right now we are pay more than that already but privately, so it's actually a drag on the economy.

    Government can spend basically any amount of money it wants. It would be an investment in citizens.

    Neoliberals would never let that happen

  • Trump says ‘I guess’ Americans should worry about Iran retaliating on U.S. soil: ‘Like I said, some people will die’

  • Kegbreath didn't plan anything so they probably aren't even prepared for that scale of transport

  • Iranian missiles are also super- and hypersonic

  • That's a truly insane number

    Can we just have healthcare?

  • Former Scout here. They have done it in Europe for generations. They actually hand out condoms at jamborees and even have alcohol tents for youth over 16 (Scouts in Europe go to age 21)

    I don't know if that's a good idea altogether-- just saying America didn't invent this.

  • This is an all-time great comment

  • How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account. Our national project of elite impunity

    Jump

  • This is a nice writeup but I disagree with the assertion that it's a reaction to Nixon.

    American leadership has NEVER been held accountable for anything. Even Jefferson Davis was never charged and died a free man.

    Neither party wants to set a precedent of charging a president with crimes while in office.
