Aussie news: Leader of the free world is cognitively compromised

[The Deadlifting Dog]

I'm all ears.

What do you think is a good way to deal with Iran?

I'm am no expert by any means on this.
I do think that the less nations with nukes the better.

Well, since you're now willing to drop the semantics and get back to the topic, albeit after the moderators intervention,


I think that the eliminating of the top Iranian terrorist leader among others was a good step in limiting their ability to make trouble in the region.

Dropping out of the failed policies of the obama era Iran nuclear deal, told Iran, no more bullshit games.

Then working with Isreal, our allies to eliminate thier top scientists developing nuclear weapons while imposing sanctions limiting thier financial ability to do so, were all a pretty good start.

But, that's really just my opinion.

The point, is that the current administration has decided to move backwards. Although it's no surprise. You may disagree, I respect that.

Just like China flying jets over Taiwan airspace to send a message to the region, that China is once again driving American policy in the region, and the biden administration immediately after coming into office, redeployed troops to Syria and other places. Letting the dictators of those regions know, we're open for business and ready to get back into the foreign war market.

Indeed Israel is our ally. In that respect the wearing of t-shirts with 6MWE or sweatshirts with Camp Auschwitz on them for Israel to see, likely is not a good sign of support.

In that respect the choice of the current administration will be a step in the right direction.

You think that ignorant people are going to stop being ignorant, because joe biden is president? That particular faction exists all over the world, what difference does joe biden make?

And you think, that joe biden is better for Isreal than trump for the belief, that somehow it changes that sentiment in the fringes of many world nations, when most Israeli citizens obviously disagree in the big picture?

I don't understand your logic here.

Please explain

For the record, in my post I didn’t call them ignorant. They made a conscientious decision to wear that based upon their opinion/knowledge of the past. If Joe Biden supports or encourages individuals that have those views, then no, he isn’t moving in the correct decision. To my knowledge he doesn’t support them.

There is my logic.

Okay I see what you mean.

I call them ignorant because most of them are in my opinion. But it's just my opinion.

A leader of the free world should never support such views. Trump didn't. And he was one of the most pro Isreal presidents in history. And I don't believe biden will support such views either. But , a leader of a free country cannot control or suppress individuals rights to free speech either. Trump didn't. Even when he didn't agree, or when it was critical of him. We'll see what biden does.

You know if a person wants to have racist or supremacist views, then that’s their right imo. But can they make it a little less obvious please, lol?

I definitely agree that Trump was pro-Israel and by those standards you are correct, Biden has his role cut for him.

Nice progress pics on the avi, btw.

Honestly, DD, I don't know. Personally, I don't think nuclear proliferation is an acceptable answer because no one wins in that battle.

Iran has a very predictable track record of saying one thing and doing another. It's also pretty much a certainty that they fund terrorist groups like Kata'ib and Hamas, so there's a risk there of a dirty bomb/NBC attacks, or a full blown nuclear weapon getting on the loose.

For now, the only option I see is to somehow get them to the bargaining table. As much I don't like it, I would consider a reduction in the sanctions on a contingency basis, with the stipulation that aid is delivered directly to the citizenry. Also, full and unfettered access to their nuclear research facilities, including the ones they think we don't know about. Any resistance on Iran's part would be met with a full return to sanctions and be enforced/ followed by all members of JCPOA.


For my thoughts to work though, you would need all the JCPOA signatories to be prepared to draw a firm line in the sand and toe the line/ don't waver from the plan.


Unfortunately, I don't see permanent sanctions as a viable solution. It only hurts the Iranian citizens, not the ruling party. A successful coup would probably be the best outcome; then the world community could import aid and oversee that the supplies got to the people on need. However, you have the IRGC between the citizens and the ruling party.

I guess it's a twist on Reagan's outlook with the result being "Don't trust and sure as hell verify".
