A More Dangerous World03-01-2020 22:30
James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	PARIS (AP) — Global powers warned Friday that the American airstrike responsible for killing Iran's top general made the world more dangerous and that escalation could set the entire Mideast aflame. Some U.S. allies suggested Iran shared in the blame by provoking the attack. The deaths of Gen. Qassem Soleimani and associates drew immediate cries for revenge from Tehran and a chorus of appeals from other countries for reduced tensions between Iran and the United States. As U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called world capitals to defend the attack, diplomats scrambled to chart a way forward. https://www.yahoo.com/news/more-dangerous-world-iran-killing-102124110.html

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Iran has been testing us pretty hard, since Obama handed over pallets of cash, for very little in return, and ease sanctions. They took it as a sign of weakness, and wanted to see what they could get away with. When Trump was elected, they needed to see how much crap he was going to take off them. They knew that eventually, they were going to get spanked. There won't be any escalation. Might be a few symbolic attacks, to prove they weren't beaten, and still significant. Iran doesn't not want a full war with America, they know what we can do, in just a few days, without killing a lot of civilians, not that it would matter to the Iranian government, which kills them by the hundreds, often. It goes back, even beyond biblical times in the Middle East, the one with the strongest sword, rules. And they need to constantly remind everyone, that the have the strongest sword, and the right to rule. They might be a little pissed, that we took out a local hero, but they respect it. Iran knows full well, they aren't going to do well, if we go to war on them. They are on the verge of civil war anyway. The current government knows they are going down, one way or another, if they don't stop messing with America. They just need to figure a way to step back, without appearing whipped. We need to keep our responses small, but appropriate, and of sufficient force. They understand death and damage best. They'll scale back their provocations, to what they consider acceptable responses from us. We keep hitting their main leaders, and military operations, they'll stop messing with ours. There will always be some problems, just not as bad, or often.

You never know, they might think that because oil is a finite resource that to increase it's value is by an oil embargo. They might understand what you just said, if countries in the Middle East won't do what the US wants, we have the power, it's our right to rule as we see fit. What if they don't agree with your perspective? An oil embargo would hurt us while avoiding a war.

What if they don't agree with your perspective? An oil embargo would hurt us while avoiding a war. Iran exports about 200,000 barrels of oil every year. Do you think that's a significant quantity, to hurt anyone with an embargo, without hurting themselves worse? We don't actually have to import any oil, it's just cheaper and more profitable, basically stealing from the Middle East. I was too young to fully understand the great embargo of the 70's, other than it sucked trying to fill a gas can, so I could mow lawns. Some people paid me a whole dollar... Fortunately, most of those folks lined up, waiting to fill the tank of their cars, didn't mind letting a kid with a one gallon can, cut in front of the lines. Folks in the Middle East understand physical force. Money doesn't matter as much, since you can spend it, if you are dead. They fight the weak, follow the strong, and do what they can with whatever wealth they can take from the weak. America is considered weak, because we give money, rather than use physical force, so they take as much as they can. It's not directly from us, mostly, but those countries around them, that we do give a lot of money to.

Bush mislead congress about intelligence on Iraq. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/dec/02/george-bush-iraq-interview From 2003 to 2007 both houses were controlled by Republicans. The Iraq war was a 100% Republican mandate. It's like when President Trump pulled the US out of a nuclear agreement between several countries and Iran. PM optimistic deal will survive without US Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has joined European leaders in expressing regret at Mr Trump's decision to pull out of the Iran deal. Mr Turnbull told the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) he had "some optimism" that the nuclear agreement would survive without the participation of the United States. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-09/donald-trump-pulls-us-out-of-iran-nuclear-deal/9741446 Who knows this might be Iraq all over again.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Trump doesn't just wake up in them morning, and decides kill himself some Iranians. He has a whole but people giving options and opinions. Such precise missile strike, would be the combined efforts of several agencies. Seems like a pretty good option, and glad he took it. Iraq has been wanting us to leave for a while. Iran is their neighbor, whether they like it or not, they still need to get along with each other, or continue to fight each other. We got rid of instigator/facilitator of many of those attacks. Iran would rather see us gone too, so Iraq giving us the boot, over a dead general, doesn't look weak, and that Iraq is still friendly with America. We also get out of Iraq, and endless war (2018 campaign promise). Doubt that Iran will be peaceful with Iraq, least not for long. We can always get invited back, if need (terrorism kicks up again). Who knows, maybe our withdrawal from Iraq, will placate Iran, and they keep the vengeance to a minimal. That general work close with various terrorist, from, and in many countries, so we can't really expect Iran to control them all. We never get to hear the full story, or deals of operations still in motion. But, I really doubt the military would have wanted the killing, knowing the repercussions, without a follow up.

"That is our system: One person decides." Goldsmith misleads. He should have written: "In short, We the People have — through Presidential election accompanied by a mandate from the States — given one person, the President, a powerful military and enormous discretion to protect national interests and American lives. "That is our system: We the People decide." Donald Trump's decisive action to protect American lives by vaporizing an evil terrorist threat was a direct result of Donald Trump's deliberate election by the United States of America. .

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	Jan. 6, 2020 at 9:10 p.m. EST John Bolton complicated Senate Republicans' impeachment strategy on Monday, declaring his willingness to testify and upping the pressure on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his party to summon the former national security adviser as a witness in President Trump's trial. Bolton last fall rebuffed House impeachment investigators' entreaties to testify about his concerns about Trump's demands that Ukraine investigate his political rivals as the administration delayed military aid. Bolton's surprise announcement changed the political calculus for McConnell's no-witness strategy and appeared to increase the likelihood of additional testimony that could embarrass the president. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/boltons-willingness-to-testify-in-trumps-impeachment-trial-ramps-up-pressure-on-senate-republicans/2020/01/06/f14a4e5a-30b3-11ea-a053-dc6d944ba776_story.html
