He's stupid. He doesn't know that Kim is not his or our friend.

everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea

No caveats, just a declaration of victory.Which everyone with a clue knew was BS.Edited by JonF, : No reason given.Edited by JonF, : No reason given.Edited by JonF, : No reason given.Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Well, actually there WAS no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea even if Un goes on as usual because Trump will hold him to his promises no matter what Un does. Trump does not follow the normal patterns for these things, that's all. He's not a politician. He flatters and schmoozes the enemy and hopes for the best, but he carries a big stick.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Trump wasn't flattering Kim {that's his family name}, he was tooting his own horn for an "accomplishment" he hadn't accomplished and likely never will. Sure he will. How? Tweeting at him? Sanctions which don't bother Kim but kill his people? Thermonuclear war? What? Edited by JonF, : No reason given.Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

It WAS an accomplishment. Wait and see.

LOLTrump said he would target cultural sites. The man is simply beneath contempt.

Arsenals and other military sites masquerading as cultural, of course. That's a standard tactic of Islamicists, known very well to the Israelis. The Palestinian terrorists put arsenals in innocent people's homes. The Israelis have to warn the people to get out when they plan to attack. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

So, just like you make up what is in the Bible you are making up what il Donaldo said.He said cultural sites. Hopefully once he is out of office and all the places he has a business interest have finished taking him to court the International Court will have a go at him. Justice demands it. Christian principles demand it. Humanity demands it.

Just the usual attack on an innocent man.

Yet the fact remains that he said "cultural sites".

And what investigations would those be that the news media isn't telling us about? You've gone free association again. What has this got to do with the news media failing to report about FBI, CIA and DoJ investigations?Anyway, of course I heard about it. CNN reported it: CNN settles lawsuit with Nick Sandmann stemming from viral video controversy | CNN Business As factual support? No, of course not. You're a good Trumpist, accusing others of what you do yourself. And there's more detail at The Biden family’s strange business history – POLITICO, a more trustworthy source. Seems like Hunter has a long history of trying to cash in on his father's name and political connections, and there's suspicion of fraud. I find that despicable, but is this the corruption you want investigated? It doesn't have anything to do with the Ukraine, and the statute of limitations has passed, so I don't see why you care. Apparently *your* political discussion is only about your opinions, but please don't project your lack of facts onto others. I'm relying on the testimony of Trump administration officials before the House Intelligence Committee. If you have factual information about Hunter Biden corruption related to the Ukraine then please bring it forward. But if your accusations and opinions are without factual basis then I think you should seek out facts before giving them further voice. I've never said anything like that. To paraphrase Trump, read the thread. Please stick to the facts, if you can find some.--Percy

We waited..We saw.Trump failed having any effect on Kim.BTW, how is Trump going to hold Kim to his promises, now that Kim has announced he's breaking any promise he made?

Why do you believe Erica Kasraie? She's an Iranian expatriate who's spent most of her time the last few years working on behalf of the Libyan National Army. There's nothing wrong with that. The point is that she hasn't spent much time in Iran any time recently.About how well liked Soleimani was in Iran, this is from Qasem Soleimani - Wikipedia:

quote:

---

Soleimani was a popular national figure in Iran, considered a hero especially by supporters of Teheran's hard line politics. According to a poll conducted by the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, by October 2019 Soleimani was viewed favorably by 82% of Iranians with 59% of them very favorable toward him. He was often considered the second most powerful person in Iran, behind Ayatollah Khamenei.

This is an incomplete sentence, so I might not get your meaning quite right.There's very little access to Twitter in Iran, so the vast majority of the likes must have come from the Iranian expatriate community which largely opposes the government. Trump's tweet received a great deal of attention because he's president of the United States. Any American president posting such a message would receive a great many likes. Why are you attaching any significance to this? I was taught the Pledge of Allegiance when I was five. Good point. Please follow the Forum Guidelines and rule 5:

5. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.

If you make a solid argument then I'll probably watch the video, but you'll also need to provide evidence of Kasraie's credibility. Well, that's out of the blue. What would I be apologizing for - you don't specify. Are you just generally offended when people disagree with you or show you've once again trusted an unreliable source?--Percy

Ah, Karaie, your new hero. Young love!Yes, it would be a bad move for Iran, but we have our own disincentives. Our military is the most powerful in the world, but it isn't invincible. It couldn't win in Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan. Look at Iran on a map sometime. It has nearly four times the area of Iraq and more than twice the population. In a war with Iran we *would* win, but we'd also rack up horrific losses. Remember Scud missiles from the Gulf War? Iran has much better.--Percy

Plus, terrorism is not limited by Nation State limitations or geography. We cannot use sanctions against terrorists or confiscate the bank accounts of terrorists or embargo terrorists or ...Our military is designed around the limitations of Nation State conflicts but what is needed when dealing with terrorism is closer the undercover police work.

There's no argument on Kasraie's video, it's just her statement of opinion about what's going on, how Soleimani was a terrorist and we must be in the twilight zone to be mourning the death of a terrorist, and that Iranians are glad he was taken out by Trump, and how Iranians have been tweeting pictures of celebrating his death and thanking Trump. She's certainly right wing and would work for right wing causes so that alone would turn you against her. I have no reason to try to persuade you to watch it seeing your post on it.
