You underestimate the mental gymnastics involved in all of this. This thread should be a good sign of that.

I'm still confused as to what those concessions are exactly. From what I've heard about the framework deal it was essentially just the same arrangemen...

Ironically I feel like now would be a great time for Russia to make a move on Greenland either to take advantage of the tensions within NATO or to exa...

Maduro up until his capture was more than willing to work with the US on whatever concerns it had. If they were trying to send a message to everyone t...

So best case scenario from what I can tell is that the US worked out some deal with the Maduro government to capture him to save face while essentiall...

Americans will probably be paying more for their coffee as a result of this ruling since you're asking.

Trying to kill off the negotiators. What a brilliant negotiation tactic by Trump and the United States.
September 10, 2025 at 22:27
My worry is that they will do something about it. Not to fix anything of course but out of some retribution sort of thing maybe blaming the universiti...

And all he had to do was fire the people who report the economic data and install his own people!

Whatever you say.

You don't think they're hiding anything?

Your original point was that they should just abandon their nuke program and everything would be fine for them. And the cost of not having a nuclear w...

Yes because the US would've fabricated another lie instead. And this is why I think the Israelis will push for war until the regime collapses. The rea...

None of that matters to the actual reason the war started. The US wanted to go to war with Iraq as much as the Israelis do now with Iran, because they...

If anything US involvement in Iran benefits Putin. Gas prices will go up and the US will forget about Europe. There's also China too, but that's anoth...

Yeah based on the news of the past few hours it seems like the US is gonna be involved anyways unless Trump changes his mind again.

Do you think it's possible for Israel to do something with the strait and pin the blame on the Iranians somehow? It seems they'd have an interest in d...

They're still trying to politicize it regardless, check out the previous page.

My guess is it'll probably be a war, but I'm open to hearing how this is all somehow a 4D chess negotiating tactic by Trump from his supporters.

So that warrants sending in the US military?
June 09, 2025 at 22:48
And there are better ways of doing so than sending in the Marines to deal with flag burners.
June 09, 2025 at 22:30
The fact that you're concerned more about flag burning over what the government is doing will have more to do with why the country is gonna end.

The past 2 weeks of complete shock and market uncertainty, even from his closest supporters, suggests otherwise.
