That is the lynch pin of this argument... the parents were here legally...

You are assuming they aren't....

While I know K Jackson isn't aware of it... but her point tho mis-applied actually makes an argument for not allowing the birth of a child to an illegal alien to become a citizen. Her example in fact illustrates that while you in another country you are subject to the laws of that county. So if you came through channels outside the prescribed and approved channels by the laws of that land then you are be definition illegal...

Its really stunning she doesn't see that...

It’s like some weird addiction they have.


Its simply a worldview that seeks to superimpose their views on an existing story line... and generally they feel some sense of entitlement to do that... while being blind to the fact that once they do what they feel entitled to do they have bastardized the moniker which they sought to capitalize on and wonder why their efforts have failed.

In Principle... what support Russia has provided could actually work against Iran... through misinformation and/or us somehow tracking where the info is going and providing targets

t’s a complete smack down, MSM is just upset that Trump is the only president who was capable of removing the Iranian parasite


To be fair... Our military has probably been capable of smashing Iran for 30 plus years... it just that our President's over that time have been politicians making policy based upon political calculus versers Trump making leadership decisions based upon strategic USA interests...

I just don’t see the regime change angle without a plan for boots on the ground. And I don’t see a plan for boots on the ground.


.... maybe the groundswell of support within the military is enough that they help the populace topple the current regime without our needing to put boots on the ground.

I think if we have to put boots on the ground we lost the gamble for regime change...

I also think doing nothing is a more risky gamble (see my previous post...)

Someone please explain the point of these talks to me.

We know the Iranians always negotiate in bad faith. So whatever they agree to is BS anyway. And we know that we have enough tech superiority to use precision weapons and daisy cutters to level whatever they build without having to go nuclear.

And Trump clearly isn't going to hesitate to do that.

So what's the point?


Wouldn't be surprised if it's for optics purposes. That way if/when we strike we can come out and say that we tried the diplomatic route first but Iran wouldn't agree with our terms



That what I think... but of course that is speculative...

I think we know who the current regime is. They have been consistent in their mode of operating since they overthrew the Shah. While I don't want "war" with Iran it is catastrophically ignorant to think we can just bow out and let them develop nuclear capabilities that could reach the US. Their history supporting and involvement with shite stirring in an already messy region and their alignment with other players (China / Russia) is the reason for my perspective on this.

With the level of unrest (thats putting it mildly) within Iran and the status of things regionally (Arab Nations generally content to live peaceably with their neighbors..) this is a unique moment/opportunity for decisive military action...

Don't be lazy... you can look at his post history
