Why Iranian blackmail won’t work
User replied to paxamericana's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Pointing out that you yourself have now declared you are too dumb to come up with what Trump should be doing is just that. -

User replied to paxamericana's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
LOL, now you want to have it both ways. You are smart enough to criticize what he is doing, but too stupid to suggest what he should do instead. You are just obsessed with hating Trump, so much so that you would cheer on Iran. -
Trump aiding and abetting the enemy?
User replied to Barquentine's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
You mean, the fact that Trump threatened Putin to not invade Ukraine? Guess what... Putin didn't invade while Trump was President. -

No, what do you want? See, this is the dilemma. You sit here criticizing him for what he is doing now, what you think he will do, but you get to hide and not offer up what you want him to do. Why? Because it is your fantasy to see it play out awful and criticize him no matter what he does. As soon as you offer up an opinion of your own, then you will be shown to be what you are. A fraud. -

They are not facts, that is why. You hate Trump, you make hasty generalizations. Those are not facts. -

OK, lets play a game, what is it you think Trump should do right now? What do you want him to do? -

So, your big prediction is that the US will exit and Iran will continue to attack countries in the ME and the US will just ignore that? Once again, this stuff is little more than your fantasy for what you want to see happen. -

Israel was attacked. Israel responded to that attack. It is quite clear you have some irrational bent against the US and Israel, I would hate to speculate on what that might be... gee, I wonder. -

You people live in a fantasy world where you are here cheering on Iran just to spite Trump. -

What an odd view. Iran is teaching the Arab world that they were right to be worried about Iran's threat of their military power over them. Iran is lashing out because that is all they are capable of doing, and so far it appears to be backfiring on them, as our allies in the region have been more resolved to support us rather than turn their backs on us. The United States stands with our allies and has provided them with the aircraft and defense weapons they are using now to counter Iran. -

Trump has not always sucked up to Putin. That is an outright lie. BEFORE Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump threatened him to not do so. Guess what? Putin did not invade while Trump was President. Trump also kicked Putin's ass in Syria. You can't deal in facts, you just push BS. -
Trump aiding and abetting the enemy?
User replied to Barquentine's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Lets see them. Siding... how? Trump supported Ukraine BEFORE the invasion, providing them the very military hardware that helped to thwart a full-blown invasion as they were able to blow up Russian armor with those anti-tank missiles. Trump has continued to support Ukraine since he took office. What Trump doesn't support is doing it forever, not that I agree with his schtick or methods, but his goals are peace and to get us out of doing this forever, that is not siding with Russia. No, he is doing what he can to help mitigate Iran's actions. So... which is it? You keep crying about this but then don't support doing anything and only want to criticize Trump. Its just a cheap political talking point for you. There is no "securing" the Strait except through blowing up Iranian crap. Once again, your own damn country continues to fund Russia by buying refined oil products from India. And yet... you are here cheering this on. -

If you want to say Trump said something, you need to provide the exact quote and a source. Again, you were the one crying. -

You are not worth the waste of time to go one by one on these because you just spew shit out of your mouth and don't care. So, here you go: 1. “Saudi women are not allowed to leave the house without being escorted by a male relative unlike Iran.” Verdict: Mostly incorrect today. Saudi Arabia historically had a male guardianship system where a male guardian (father, husband, etc.) had authority over certain decisions. However, women were never generally required to be physically escorted outside the house. That claim is a common misconception. Major reforms in 2019 allowed Saudi women to: obtain passports travel abroad without guardian permission register births, marriages, and divorces live independently in many cases Reality comparison Topic Saudi Arabia Iran Leaving the house Allowed without escort Allowed without escort Guardian approval for some life decisions Historically yes, partially reformed Husband can restrict travel So: The escort rule is largely false, but Saudi Arabia did have strong guardianship restrictions historically. 2. “Saudi women are required to wear the full black niqab head-to-toe unlike Iran.” Verdict: Partially wrong / oversimplified. In Saudi Arabia, women traditionally wore abaya (black cloak) in public. Niqab (face covering) was not universally required by law. Enforcement varied regionally and culturally. Since reforms under Mohammed bin Salman, enforcement has relaxed significantly. Meanwhile in Iran: Women must wear hijab (head covering). Hair must be covered. Enforcement exists through morality policing. Reality Clothing rule Saudi Arabia Iran Hair covering required Historically yes in practice Yes by law Face covering required No nationwide law No Abaya mandatory Traditionally enforced Not required So the claim exaggerates the Saudi rule and understates the Iranian one. 3. “Saudi women couldn’t drive until 2018 unlike Iran.” Verdict: Correct. This part is accurate. Saudi Arabia banned women from driving until June 2018. Iran has never banned women from driving. Iran even has female racecar drivers. This is one of the clearest differences between the two countries historically. 4. “Saudi women are prohibited from working in many professions, Iran still has female lawyers doctors and engineers.” Verdict: Outdated and misleading. Historically: Saudi Arabia had stricter employment barriers. But today: Saudi women work as: doctors lawyers engineers pilots business executives government officials Women’s labor participation in Saudi Arabia has tripled since 2016. Iran: Women are highly educated. Many professionals exist. But there are still legal and social restrictions, including: gender segregation limits in certain judicial roles restrictions in some fields. So the claim relies on an older Saudi reality from the 2000s–early 2010s. 5. “If Saudi women violate rules they are considered to have invited misfortune.” Verdict: Cultural claim, not a formal law. There is no legal statute saying women invite harm. However: Conservative societies sometimes place social blame on women for perceived moral violations. That dynamic exists in many societies, including Iran. So this is more of a social criticism than a factual legal rule. 6. “A Saudi man can have his wife jailed or committed to an asylum for disobedience.” Verdict: Mostly incorrect. Historically under guardianship laws: A male guardian could file “disobedience” complaints or pressure authorities. Women could face legal issues if accused of “absconding” (leaving guardian control). But: A husband cannot simply order jail or asylum. Courts or authorities must be involved. Recent reforms have weakened many of these mechanisms. 7. “Saudi reforms started in 2017 but still have a long way to go.” Verdict: Reasonable statement. Saudi reforms under Mohammed bin Salman include: women driving (2018) travel without guardian permission (2019) increased workforce participation easing dress enforcement But critics still point to: guardianship remnants political repression uneven enforcement. Big Picture Both Saudi Arabia and Iran restrict women in different ways: Category Saudi Arabia Iran Driving Legal since 2018 Always legal Dress code Traditionally strict, now relaxed Mandatory hijab law Guardianship Historically strong, partly reformed Husband authority in some areas Workforce Rapidly expanding Highly educated female workforce Political freedoms Limited Limited So the post you quoted mixes real historical facts, outdated information, and internet exaggerations.

Better than you do. Again: Women in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are not required by law nor threatened and beaten up, arrested, or raped by the secret police if they don't.

You have no regard for the truth. Now you are saying women have it worse in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait? Women in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are not required by law nor threatened and beaten up, arrested, or raped by the secret police if they don't. You people are so desperate to hate Trump that you now defend Iran.
