Re: Iranian state media and officials reported that the death toll from the strike rose to at least 165, with many others injured, calling it a devastating blow to the local community. .......'devastating blow to the local community'???? Gotta wonder how much more devastating to the local community it was to have 30k protestors shot down in the streets? Think of it - 30K???? Any regime capable of that is definitely capable of orchestrating a red-herring in pursuit of grooming damaging propaganda.

.................. arguably Canadian's are more concerned about the immediate, issues like affordability, the cost of living, trade relations, personal financial well-being and international relations.

Likely akin to looking thru the windows of a Mack Truck! What she is suggesting is possible tho ......... it all begins or not, with the midterms

Do u believe attacking another Nation in defense of women's rights is a good justification for war?

.....arguably fragmentation amongst the cultural mix of Iran will make something like democracy impossible. But lets not a great deal (democracy) get in the way of a good deal (stability). Oh yeah, sucks to be a split-a$$ in Iran. .....

lol - wonder why they hate Trump? Over 60 percent of Quebec are concerned(??) that as an independent State, Quebec would have a marked degree less influence dealing with the United States than if it remained p/o a united Canada. Apparently the majority also see that the policies of Donald Trump would be a threat to the French, language / culture. ah, ya Think?

............... mind if I begin addressing u as chicken-little?

Quebec? I believe Quebec operates under a flavor of Universal Health Care - socialist medicine Andropov? Old man, lacked energy and with a limited tenure. He did see the economic problems looming for the USSR tho- problems that demanded reform. The near-far countries were demanding freedoms, additionally, mother Russia couldn't afford to continue propping up their economies. Although outside the sphere - Cuba is a prime example. It has been said that Andropov's initiatives were picked up by Gorbachev and to a degree implemented. No, the USSR was doomed as well as the Communist ideology, I believe.

Iran is arguably the 3rd most populous country in the ME It is also the most diverse with Persians, Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Lurs, Arabs, Balochs, Talysh a sprinkling of Sunni and of course the Shia majority. This kebob of culture, religion, et al has ties to populations outside the country and they have their own agendas. Chances of a Democracy? Likely zero - indeed, the above mentioned kebob likely sees opportunity - nationalistic opportunity - start with the peace loving Kurds. Simple stability would be a worthy goal .....

Yeah, the President will def have their back, eh Kristi?

.............. def trivial ........ one way or the other really isn't going to make a wit of difference to people's lives - but it was a move intended to garner attention - put the Government in the news - trigger debate. Trump could be so lucky to be only dealing with such seemingly mundane decisions (strategy)

yeah, ICE did get a bit over their skis. ...... in future they need to cover their a$$ - contrary to widespread rhetoric - their actions will be reviewed later and they will be investigated with prejudice.

They wuz both murdered. It ain't over - waaaaaay too political. "To all ICE officers, you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties," / Stephen Miller And they believed, HIM?

Noem was on borrowed time ......an opportunity presented itself and Trump took it to fire her. .............. arguably she was the perfect scapegoat in terms of position, lack of political allies and ................... PERFORMANCE!!! They say that there is no wrath as that of a woman scorned - Noem's been scorned - wonder if she has the ballz to bite the hand that fed her? On the other hand a Presidential Pardon might come in handy.

What? It's akin to moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic - gives people something to focus on.

I think we're both interested in who will rule Iran ............ but don't hold ur breath for a democracy.

Indeed. The Korean War was officially described as a 'Police Action' - not a declared war. The Korean War's legal status was framed as a UN sanctioned 'police action' to restore international peace. It allowed Truman to deploy troops without a formal declaration of war from Congress.

Although she has been made the scapegoat she is worthy of it. So unfit for the job - a disaster in front of a mic - the epitome of a dumb beotch trying to appear tough. Noem's trials will just be beginning if the Left takes the House.

......... it's political........ a red herring ......... a diversion.

A coup reinstated Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as an absolute monarch and significantly increased the level of influence of the U.S. over Iran - he was a sock puppet. Trump's recent comments notwithstanding, Pahlavi's son (lives in Washington), would be the perfect leader for U.S. economic and geo political interests. Israel could live with a sock-puppet ........... yeah, perfect choice.

.............. haha ......... my point is that based on the volume of ur posts u don't have a day job. Basement keyboard commando USER? Seriously, I do laugh at ur rhetoric.

.......so called Christian Nationalism is a political ideology with an objective of fusing specific Christian values with National identify. Top of the list of 'Christian values' would be gender / sexuality and family structure......... def lean towards chauvinism. Politically it embraces populism, i.e, the appeal to those people that feel their concerns are being disregarded. A Christian Nationalist would definitely deem authoritarian control is essential for order and in particular divine favor.
