Misc This Means WAR

The situation in Iran is a muddle. Yes, we militarily have set back Iran significantly. But the core issue remains - a fanatical Iranian leadership is in place that wants to rebuild and do further damage to the US and our allies.The cease fire has not only given them time to dig out and launch more missiles, it’s led to an inconclusive, unfinished stalemate.As anyone who has ever removed a hornet’s nest knows, you better remove it all or you’re leaving behind a bunch of angry hornets who will sting you.It’s

I’m exhausted by this Iran whiplash. We put the Iranian people through hell with maximum pressure and sanctions, watched their currency and living standards collapse, and were told it was the only way to get a “better” deal than Obama’s. We even encouraged them to go out in the streets and risk their lives, telling them help was on the way. Now after all that we’re suddenly “ok” with a 20 year suspension of the nuclear program if Tehran makes a “real” commitment. That is not regime change. That is not zero enrichment forever. That is a tougher, longer version of the same time limited arms control logic we said was unacceptable. As a Trump supporter, I’ll say it clearly this is disgraceful and people deserve honesty about what we paid and what we actually got

Trump shouldn’t have torn up the already existing Iran Deal in 2018 in the first place. Now he’s struggling to get back to something similar and with a wide open Strait. It’s very clear to me he did that mainly because it was done during the Obama Admin.that’s how he thinks. He hates Obama with a passion.

1. It’s important to distinguish between “criticism” and “bashing”. Speaking for myself as regards DT or anyone else, I strive to stick to “criticism” when showing disapproval and to keep it war related. My last post was a criticism regarding tearing up the Obama Deal in 2018 without even a replacement. (Also, keep in mind that I recently gave a positive review of his post WHCD speech/news conference when people were posting about the attempted assassination. So, I’m not afraid to say something positive about DT if I feel it’s warranted.

2. This thread remains very civilized in stark contrast to AmericanWx’s political threads as well as those of many other boards.

To me, he screwed it all up when he stopped the bombing. Now he has no idea what to do except cut and run.

Redistricting has become a weapon when it was meant to make fair representation for people with the same needs. It has now become a way for more power for whoever was in power. I always thought that Carter was not the best president, but at least he was honest ands stood up for what he thought was right. Then Barnes sliced up the small area of Sandy Springs into 4 districts because we wanted to become a city. Barnes wanted the taxes from this area on the North side of the country to cover Southside projects, Streets needed work but we were ignored. Districts looked like snakes going from one side of the state to the coast. At the same time Jeb Bush cut up Florida in the same manner. Carter had been making sure elections in other countries were being held fairly & I thought he would speak up about both states, he said nothing. I was disappointed in him. I think we should have all AIs draw maps based on community needs and not party at all. What my area needs are not the same as a coastal town. Let them draw maps and the voters vote on the best one. Hopefully they would be the same. Farm areas need someone who is not representing a large city. This puts pressure on politicians to depend on voter support because of what they have done for the voters, not for what they have done for their party. Sadly good people are hesitant to run because of the vicious attacks no matter how false or slanted to ruin a candidate. I miss Fetterman kind of politicians. I am old enough to remember the covered dish rallies where they had barbeque or fried chicken and everyone bought a dish and talked with the politician. They had to go face to face to get the votes, and they did have to interact to get the votes. Internet has improved some things, but socially it is destroying us. It is sad when you have a bunch of kids sitting around looking at their phones and texting the person sitting next to them instead of talking.

But when you put people into this corrupt system it doesn't matter if they are good people or honest people. There have been plenty of good people come to DC to "fix things" but here we sit . What is going to stop people from despising one another? What is going to sharply cut the massive amounts of beaurocracy or get rid of the fraud? Our system of government has failed miserably and it can't be fixed because it was designed to be corrupted it just took time to get to this point. Just the amount of BS taxes we pay up and down the ladder is disturbing and it gets worse and worse every year. It's a system built for thieves disguised as something that "helps people". It's nothing but a racket
