Funny that Brexiters in the UK think Trump's America will be our great hope for making deals etc. They're fucking idiots.
I'm not saying we don't have problems. I'm just saying that I'm not say I am part of a problem that I'm not apart of.As a country. Stop saying "only half though!" WE fucked up. It's a problem with the country if someone like him gets in.
If he wasn't stopped, the other half's efforts weren't good enough.
LOL okay. The Chairborne Commandos of the Fifth Taco Bell Regiment are welcome to start their revolution or whatever their grand plan is.Definitely a bad call by the mods on this one. Knee jerk responses win this round.
*waits for someone to pull out polls about feelings towards black people by different voting groups*
The only exception is Russia, even after the intelligence agencies confirmed that they were the ones who interfered in the elections the Trump administration decided not to impose sanctions.So Americans are just against everyone at this point ? Crazy...
Then black people like me should move to another country or region in which the government & their people are more tolerable, & in which they're less gun/trigger happy.Letting the south secede would prove once and forever that America hates black people regardless of political party.
This, it's not helpful to only assholes out only right after they fuck everything up. So many people should've known better decided to either stay home or throw their vote away on a 3rd party candidate.More Americans need to vote, period. The reason the country keeps slipping back into conservative hands is because too many Americans believe that politics don't matter, or that both sides are the same.
Emigrating from the US is an expensive and lengthy process, vast majority of black folks in the US can't afford it. I also imagine there are many who would refuse because we've kinda been here longer than most other folks other than Native Americans.Then black people like me should move to another country or region in which the government & their people are more tolerable, & in which they're less gun/trigger happy.
What makes you think Trump wants a democracy?This basically tells me the only thing that prevents America from invading (Islamic) countries is Nuclear Weapons.
AT least the EU coalition are firm on keeping their end of the deal intact, curious to see how they respond to USA's 'harsh' response to them.
Trump continues to baffle me with his line of thinking. He essentially just wants to reverse every decision Obama ever made. What even is the point of a democracy if the nation can't align behind their policies?
That's been the $64,000 question for the past year & a half in regards to the United States specifically.What even is the point of a democracy if the nation can't align behind their policies?
This.More Americans need to vote, period. The reason the country keeps slipping back into conservative hands is because too many Americans believe that politics don't matter, or that both sides are the same.
Many Americans feel betrayed. Someone who was born in 1940 had a 90% chance to have a better income than his father (adjusted for inflation). Someone who was born in the 1980s only has a 50% chance to have a better income than his father. The whole health care and education system is highly unfair. The success of a kid depends too much on the income of the parents.More Americans need to vote, period. The reason the country keeps slipping back into conservative hands is because too many Americans believe that politics don't matter, or that both sides are the same.
Yeah. We're telling North Korea that even if they hold up their end of an agreement, that we might pull out of it anyway if we decide later on that we didn't get enough out of it.So I have a couple of thoughts on this, and how, as it seems to me, trump is being hugely inconsistent and damaging to the US statis in the world-
The us are seemingly in the process of brokering a peace treaty with north Korea, a nuclear armed and ballistic missile armed nation. At the same time they are recomencing sanctions on a country who had agreed not to develop nuclear weapons as part of the agreement. This is baffling.
Also this shows that the US do not care about treaties or agreements - they will just terminate and withdraw and this is hugely damaging to their credibility. I wonder what Kim now thinks of anylon treaty to lift sanctions from NK since its obvious that Trump will go back in his word.
This decision is hugely damaging to the US and their politic position as well. The us's closest allies (the eu) have come out and already said they will continue to abide by the Iran agreement, effectively isolating the US.
Even to me, as a British person who has visited America dozens of times and loves the country, I can' shake the feeling that the US is behaving like a bully and that the EU needs to stand up and proceed to maintain and abide by the agreement. I don' believe sanctions will do anything but radicalise Iran and stunt the nation' economic development and social liberalisation.
Yes. Please don't listen to them.Funny that Brexiters in the UK think Trump's America will be our great hope for making deals etc. They're fucking idiots.
To my understanding, this wasn't binding. Presumably, whatever deal that is made w/ NK will be binding.So why would North Korea sign any deal if the US could cancel it at any point for no good reason?
I could be wrong (and hopefully if I am someone will correct me), but my memory from when this was put together and the Paris agreement happened, is that for a deal like this to be binding the legislative branch have to vote on it and agree with it.To my understanding, this wasn't binding. Presumably, whatever deal that is made w/ NK will be binding.
Yeah I’ve decided I don’t care who America decides to go to war with, if they try to draft or use me I’ll be the first one out of the country. Never defending this place. Idc what happens.Hope y'all are ready to lock and load for the God Emperor; someone is gonna have to fight the rights holy war and it's not gonna be the right.
In before Trump deports undocumented citizens into Iran with M4s and a un-removable neck explosive.
When countries don't want to destroy their economies?
Well this is what happened last time U.S. tried solo sanctions.
The European Union has adopted a Blocking Statute(1) which makes it illegal for any European Union company to comply with ILSA.
April 1997 the European Council decided that the EU would request the re-establishment of a WTO panel against the US should any action be taken against EU companies or individuals under the Helms-Burton Act or ILSA. That decision still stands.
(1) Council Regulation (EC) N° 2271/96. Official Journal of the European Communities n° L 309 of 29 November 1996, page 1.
The only problem is the secondary sanctions that PROHIBIT the EU from doing business with Iran. They've been given 180 days to cut ties with Iran.Don't know if posted already, but EU stands firm in continuing to uphold the Iran-deal. Calling it one of the biggest achievements in modern diplomacy and was a 12 years work-in-progress by the international community.
Hopefully this will have the opposite effect of the chaos Trump is pushing, and that Iran continues to remain in the deal.
Official statement is here and starts at around 52 minutes into the video:
Well E.U. had something like this happen to it back in the 90s and early 2000s and took the U.S. to task and won both times.The only problem is the secondary sanctions that PROHIBIT the EU from doing business with Iran. They've been given 180 days to cut ties with Iran.
Will the EU fold, or will the EU say fuck the usa?
Well this is what happened last time U.S. tried solo sanctions.

Fyi U.S. lost that case both times. I expect it to happen again.
What a disgusting post. Advocating for targeted violence is only a few days ban?The only thing that would work on republicans is mass targeted violence against them and their families.
Good to know, I'd love for Trump's fruity pebbles to be totally shit in. Come on EU! You can do it!Well E.U. had something like this happen to it back in the 90s and early 2000s and took the U.S. to task and won both times.
People are going overboard in this topic I think not because of the Iran deal itself, but because Trump undid the last of Obama's major legacy .What a disgusting post. Advocating for targeted violence is only a few days ban?
From just a page ago.If you have questions about or issues with moderation, please contact staff via PM. Do not derail the thread further.
This is a cute way to shit on republicans but im not sure how this points to our democracy not working. And I don't particulary give a shit where that poster is from or why you think it matters?US democracy is not fine. The poster you are responding to is German. They have proper democracy, it is called PR. No FPTP bastardisation. You have a system designed to carry over the last vestiges of the slave states.
Moreover one political party is divorced from reality given how much money has corrupted your politics. It is shameful, this party has used the broken system built on a flimsy and fundamentally flawed constitution to perpetuate its death grip on power come what may. You probably will not be able to amend the horrendous errors in your institutions because the White Supremacist party will never cede enough vote to allow the super majorities necessary.
The litany of abuses and literal treason occurring today under the current incumbent shows how busted flush your system is.
Your democracy is broken and it is fucking tragic. A similar thing is happening in the UK.
For America’s allies it is probably not a stretch to call the Republican Party the enemy.
If the USA ever uses a nuke again I expect that they will be embargoed by every single country in the world and at that point a coup is not far off. That is unless they nuke Russia or China which would mean the end of civilization.Iran has been preparing for this war for like fifty years, they're gonna be the first to sink a supercarrier and then consequently be nuked by the US.
Yeah, I sometimes wonder, when folks attach responsibility for a thing to a particular president if they are using the name to generalize the executive office or they truly (which I think most do) believe one person is making these decisions. And this particular president seems to be little more than a mouthpiece.This isn't on Trump alone. The war drums to bomb Iran have been going on for awhile. Too many parasites attached to the american political class.
The national security advisor did promise a celebration in Tehran in 2019. He also said we should do North Korea peace talks just so we could get past that step so we can get to the declaring war part.
