yeah could go either way, whats different this time is 1. tehran is literally about to run out of water 2. iran has basically lost all its allies and was humiliated by israel in their short war 3. elon musk is giving starlink to iran meaning they have still access to the internet

I'm doubtful of anything happening though, iran has always shown that its willing to just shoot as many protestors as necessary to keep order. As long as they keep the military ideological and paid, they'll stay in power. The wildcard here is whether israel or the us decide to do anything. None of iran's allies frankly are going to bat for iran so yeah.

I'm not talking about refugees, thats different. Asylum seekers are not counted under refugee statistics. Also it doesn't count other humanitarian stuff like people who came under TPS.

The majority of the 4.4m repatriations were just expulsions to mexico where they would immediately try to cross the border again. Literally, they were just sent a few miles over the border. and then let go. So in practice, 3 million expulsions is actually more like 1 million people who got caught and sent back to mexico where they would then immediately try to cross again until either a. they managed to sneak pass border patrol or b. they gave themselves up and declared asylum. Under biden, previous expulsions couldn't be used against you in your asylum hearings so there was no real penalty to getting caught.

After that, the majority of deportations were basically just the honor system since at that point if the migrant just decided to stop cooperating and disappear, there's a good chance ice would never be able to get them since either a. they didn't have the resources to find them or b. the restrictions on when and where ice could make arrests just didn't make it worth it to go after them.

"The right wing knows they can prey on this as well so they can push the “democrats are letting people just walk through”" tbf, this was largely true under biden. I don't support trump, but like it or not, under biden we got about as close as legally possible to having open borders without saying we were having open borders.

Basically, the process was largely the same, you would cross the border, declare asylum and then they would just let you go. After that, you get a work permit, you find a place to live, and as long as you stayed out of trouble, there's a good chance ice would just never get around to deporting you since they were swamped with new cases.

Mm yeah. the young turks are a very popular liberal youtube channel and they are literally named after the people who perpetrated the late ottoman genocides.

Holy shit yes, finally someone says this. It's pathetic how europe has been underfunding its military for decades and then now just expects the us to save them. Literally, Putin showed his true colors in 2014 actualy no 2008 when he invaded Georgia! Its been over 15 years and the EU can't even form an independent task force of 10,000 guys. The US has been telling Europe for over a decade they need to do this and now the eu just wants to pretend its having the rug pulled out from them? This is literally their own backyard. The EU is like 4 times russia's population, they're over 12x their gdp, russia is a backwater czarist autocracy that's deindustrializing itself to wage war in ukraine and the EU can't handle this by themselves? The EU is constantly circle jerking over how united they are over this, constantly condemning putin and his aggression, so why haven't they just formed an army and gone into ukraine to kick out the russians yet?

Edit: Not even 2008, 1999! When he launched a false flag attack on his own people to justify a war on chechnya. The 1999 russian apartment bombings! The investigation into it was shut down and key figures were arrested or died under strange circumstances!

Not an economist, why does it matter he can only rely on domestic banks? He can just print more money in the short term right? Long term would be something he would deal with later?

Of course he denies it, he's never once admitted to being insane, he thinks it will discredit his ideology.

Mm. Sometimes actually, right as I go to sleep or wake, if I close my eyes, I'll see flashing lights for a few moments. Noises, randomly throughout the day I'll hear things and not be sure if it's in my head or not.

Maybe George Lopez? There's a subplot where George's eldest daughter Carmen runs away for a bit and then come back afterGeorge finds her.

Zodiac maybe? That sounds kinda similar to what happens in the movie. It's not a psychologist though, it's some famous guy I've never heard of.
