This is stupid and the comment was clearly over your head. It’s a fact the meeting went down are you denying it? Because the Trumps don’t

I don't know what happened there, don't care. Trump wasnt bought by Russians, they didn't rig the election. Do you really believe that? Nothing went over my head, there are no pictures so you haven't posted them. Otherwise they'd be up. Fact is back deals are cut between world leaders all the time, the Clinton's are master abusers of this art, the people know it and couldn't stomach her as president. It was foolish to run her, it's why we ended up with Trump.

It's the same as half those railing against Trump who had no problem with him before and in fact clamored to get themselves in the same room and take pictures with him. It's why I don't participate in the cult of celebrity.

Do you know who likes war because of the profit it brings? Rich white people. Do you know whose children overwhelmingly don't sacrifice their lives in those wars? Rich white people.

Protests are highly understandable. It'll be the protestors sons, daughters, cousins, friends who are in the front lines. Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Empathy and understanding aren't defects; lack of both traits are.

Where is the war?

Edit: they aren't protesting a war, they are protesting a president because many in this country are little better than petulant children. I didn't see protests when Obama took military action, why?

According to the active duty personnel I've spoken to today, they expect escalation within the next few months. No official word but they've been around the track long enough to know how it goes.

I guess they all spoke to the same people you did huh?

Why protest now? The answer is in the edit to my original post.

Which carrier? I was on CVN-70 in the 90s

CVN-70, the USS Carl Vinson. That was built in the 70's, I think their up to CVN-90 +/- now? My oldest brother worked for the NN shipyard that builds all of the aircraft carriers for 40 years. I had the pleasure of going on the original John F Kennedy in the late 60's when it was being commissioned. Riding the elevator up to the flight deck was a rush.

1) Almost certain targeting and destroying important historic cultural sites is a war crime.

2) Iranians are more proud of their history than anything. They don’t care about their government. Not all even care about Islam for the most part. But all, and I mean all care about their history. So why target something that the citizens of Iran care about more than anything? Like damn if anything just threaten to kill the ayatollah? What a ****ing dumbass. Way to alienate an entire country.

The Ayatollah and mullahs don’t really give a **** about the cultural heritage sites. Why even threaten this? Why threaten to attack the thing that the people of Iran but not the regime hold dearly? He’s such an idiot.

Maybe to rile up the Iranian populace to rise up against the Ayatollahs and Mullahs?
