If there are such cases, maybe provide an example.

It makes much more sense to stand with those protesting injustice and tyranny, and to let those privileged westerners protesting their feelings echo a...

Nice essay. But I believe humans lack the capacity to organize any significant conspiracy that wouldn’t result in their jailing or demise. People have...

Trump stands with the Iranian people as they protest their government at great risk to their own lives. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/121...

I was speaking more in terms of national sovereignty, not so much state or municipal sovereignty. But I think some of the same principles might apply ...

Heightening tensions is one thing, shooting down civilian aircraft is quite another. Iranians have directly killed more Iranians during this period.

Reasserting one’s sovereignty is always the right thing to do. The EU is more a centralized technocracy which itself deals only with political elites....

Iran finally admits it shot down the jet. Incompetence.

I think you’re right, but as far as I can tell the video shows the projectile hurtling towards the plane, which continued to fly after being struck.

This video shows what appears to be a missile hitting the plane. https://youtu.be/TdvcKFtrjV0

I suspect they’d blow themselves up. I have always said it’s a matter of privilege. Many westerners are so far removed from tyranny and injustice that...

It looks like evidence is pointing to Iran shooting down a Ukrainian aircraft filled with Iranian, Canadian and Ukrainian civilians. Not a good look, ...

He backed out of a horrible deal with Iran because it lifted important sanctions and allowed them to continue their ballistic missile program, which w...

Remember when you shared this video in the hopes that it would capture his stupidity? https://youtu.be/9QdBPP7nMfI It turns out he was more spot on th...

I’m pretty sure Israel is a parliamentary democracy.

I doubt the entirety of your theorizing, but who knows?

Perhaps you’re right. I think the only difference between the two is that Iran has explicitly stated its goal is to destroy Israel.

Obama’s deal didn’t go far enough. The Iranians were allowed to speed up their ballistic missile program while co-signatories could only stand around ...

I believe Iran already has nuclear power. As for nuclear weapons, Trump just suggested a new deal, calling on the E3, China, NATO, Russia to help.

Not nuclear power. Nuclear weapons.

So weak dick that he blew up the Ayatollahs right-hand man.

Trump’s measured response, which included inviting Iran into the civilized world, was in line with Trump’s policy and past statements, directly contra...

It’s happening. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/07/politics/rockets-us-airbase-iraq/index.html Expect Trump to address the nation.

I think if they detach themselves from Brussels they might not have the choice to do otherwise, a sink or swim kind of moment.

His gut feelings have done a better job than any sober, technocratic deliberation. They think and claim to know better but I don’t think that’s the ca...

There is no war, but if there is, we’ll be important allies as we always have. It’s far better than appeasing a terrorist state with money and grovell...

I suppose he just bungled his way into the most powerful position in the world. Meanwhile all your smooth-talking, private/public view lawyers are dro...

Because it is true. I haven’t criticized anyone for being partisan. You don’t like the way he talks. I get it. But if a good talker is your standard f...

No, I don’t care what they say. But I know you’d just love to reiterate trumps speech and thought crimes because it’s really all you guys have.

It’s also a big slap in the face to Iranian aggression. Iran sabotages two oil tankers, Trump does not retaliate. Iran captures British oil tanker, Tr...

Chicken little and the boy who cried wolf come to mind. The anti-Trumpist media and their base have been claiming economic disaster, the next Hitler, ...

Anti-Trumpism leads one to reserve their finger-wagging for Trump while allowing them to remain silent on Iranian theocrats and terrorists. Trump is t...

I appreciate your opinion, ssu. You are a far better historian than I. But when your bureaucrats and globalists told us they created the end of histor...

It turns out Obama’s pallets of cash directly funded state terrorism and opened up Iran to arm sales from Russia and elsewhere. Now they are using tho...

I meant oil production, but you’re right. I’ll concede that point because I did say “energy”. But other than that you’re putting words in my mouth and...

I’m not too sure, to tell you the truth.

I'm curious, but what do you think is irrational about it? I ask because Iran's been poking this bear for a while now and it finally bit back. Trump t...

Someone Putin directly worked with in military operations in Syria is blown to pieces, and at worst it’s an inconvenience? Even if I was to grant that...

There is no draft, genius.

That might happen. But then again Soleimani was a direct link between Khomeini and the Kremlin, and worked with Putin in Syria. He just lost a key all...

It was a good strategy, until you get blown up. But I suppose if you’re a theocrat that’s the sort of martyrdom you want. An embassy is American terri...

Said without irony, too.

The US bombing a key Russian ally is a win for Putin?

The US is more a leader now than it ever was. Number one economy, number one energy producer, number one military force on the globe. The US has effec...

I think it would reveal the Ayatollah’s “death to America” rhetoric to be empty, and his resolve to be weak. That’s not good for a country in grips of...

Meanwhile your country gets to rest peacefully knowing American forces defend your continent while you sleep.

Nature has a way of ending beefs. The strongest wins. It puts the Ayatollah in a tough sport. Fight back and be demolished. Or do nothing and lose you...

They are words on a screen. The deliberate annoyance is your own fault, as you goad yourself into a frothing fit each time you read them. Your conspir...

One of Iran’s top military leaders, Qasem Soleimani, was killed in a drone strike.
