If you cannot work out that leaving a conquered nation before stability has been obtained, I cannot help you. Have a nice Sunday.
If Iran attacks on American soil, my bet would be all of their refineries will go up in smoke and at least half of their navy will be sunk. How stupid does Iran want to get in their efforts at retaliation?
What if Iran starts directing terror attacks on American soil? You realize that our actions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria got Americans killed over here, right?
Blame America first...check.
That is one of the silliest responses I have ever seen. More debt was racked up during the Obama administration then all previous administratons added together. Did you complain about that at the time? North Korea, China, and Iran are all works in progress. Far too early to declare them failures. As for Nafta.2...how is it a flounder? Congress is about to sign off on it. As for Trump's tweets, all of the major players and then some are tweet storming including "Nasty Nancy" and "prop glasses Schumer".
ROFL....so, you have access to the "Durham Report"???
There are some instances when its patriotic to assign blame for bad decision making on the behalf of American leaders. Unless you can accept the idea of terrorism and refugees pouring into your neck of the woods, you really shouldn't promote violence and occupation abroad.
Not to the report, no. But I have access you and others don't.
nOkay, sure thing.
They may strike out at Americans in the middle east, or at home. They also may strike out against Israel, since Israel has been the big instigator trying to get the USA to go to war with Iran. Half a million people who were born in Iran now live in the USA. I'm sure most of them are fine people, but it only took 19 terrorists to pull off the 9/11 attacks. I hope all the war hawks are prepared to take responsibility if we start seeing terrorism occur on American soil due to our incessant meddling in the Middle East.
Trillion dollar deficits while having a good economy is the same as what was happening during the Obama years, right?
What a desperate attempt to make Trump’s tweets seem reasonable.
Iran and North Korea were not nuclear threats in 2016.
No...the ecomomy absolutely sucked under Obama.
Your complaint is that he tweets at all.
They certainly were.
Wow really put some thought in these responses.
In your case...it was all that was needed.
At least he will avoid sending the mullahs 140 billion dollars in cash, laundered through the international banking system.
The 2015 agreement freed up Iranian assets that had been frozen under sanctions. Called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the deal included Iran and the United States, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
The agreement only affected sanctions imposed to punish Iran for its nuclear program. Iran has other assets that remain frozen.
Some conservatives have put the amount released after lifted sanctions as high as $150 billion, which is the highest of estimates we have seen. Another estimate from Iran’s Central Bank topped out at about $29 billion in readily available funds, with another $45 billion tied up in Chinese investment projects and the foreign assets of the Iran’s Oil Ministry.
After talking with officials at Iran’s Central Bank, Nader Habibi, professor of economics of the Middle East at Brandeis University, believes the actual total is between $25 billion and $50 billion.
In July 2015, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told lawmakers Iran would gain access to $56 billion.
It’s important to know that little of that money was under the control of the United States or any U.S. bank. Most of it, Habibi said, was in central and commercial banks overseas. Furthermore, it was Iran’s money to begin with, not a payment from any government to buy Iran’s cooperation.
