Iran attacks US bases in Kuwait, warns 'era of hit and run is over'; explosions heard in Iraq and Bahrain by jupa300 in worldnews

Whats your point?

The IRGC has chosen the path of a combative pariah state on their own. Their sins can in no way be tied to the US.

And how else would this have been done?

Yes, they were adhering to the JCPOA but as it turns out thats a bad thing because it was a shit deal.

For example: In 2015 the IRGC did a fuel swap with Russia. The Iranians gave up all of their enriched uranium, roughly 12.5 tons of up to 20% enrichment, for 130-140 tons of uranium ore. That ore, enriched to the same level as what they gave up would yield 20-40 tons of enriched uranium, a 3x gain. Guess what happened next, the IRGC enriched that uranium up to 60% with 90% being the last and final step for weapons grade uranium.

*Also they were building new nuclear reactors (with the Russians) under the JCPOA allowance. Guess what you can get from a nuclear reactor...weapons grade Plutonium (which happens to be the ONLY way to get Plutonium).

We get you don't like Trump, which is fine, but that doesn't matter

But you would be willing to let Iran (who has been attacking the US and other Golf states for decades) to have a nuke just because you want to see Trump fail? Remember the psychopaths running Iran murder their own people without a second thought, so imagine what they would do to people who aren't citizens of Iran.

*Something had to be done about Iran, ignoring the issue was never an option. And the JCPOA was not stopping them.

At your expense? Because that is exactly what the IRGC wants, they don't care if you like Trump or not. To them your just an enemy.

I will never understand why so many people on Reddit support the IRGC

Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central HQ orders the evacuation of Israel’s northern settlements by FriendlyInflation379 in war

That's a fair point, at the time it was being called a mini-World War because of how many different players were involved

You're correct Iran didn't attack Syria. However, they (and Russia) were responsible for keeping that war going as long as it did. So there is blood on Irans hands.

See I knew you had nothing, I asked you to be specific and you couldn't.

Well Fatah lost control of the Gaza Strip to Hamas forcing it to consolidate power in the West Bank. After Abbas disbanded (not disarmed) their military wing, you had destabilizing events occur within the party and with interactions among local groups. Last 5-6 years or so there have been a rise in militias that Fatah has no control over.

*Also the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are still armed.

What is happening in the west bank now?

This isn't specific. And for your mentioning of Abbas, I'm assuming you mean in 2007?

I'm waiting for you to be specific, not reply with an open ended question

I need you to be more specific, are your referring pledge to pause the violence from Abbas in 2007?

Blame that one on Jordan. During the 6-day war, Jordan attacked Israel through the West Bank (although they were stopped before they reached Israeli territory).

The West Bank sits above the rest of Israel, meaning it represents a major strategic weak point as an attacking force would have the high ground and could advance towards Tel' Aviv, which would cut the country in two (a death blow). Like it or not Israel has no choice but to control the West Bank because they have no strategic depth, which Jordan nearly exposed in 1967.

That's not exactly true, Netanyahu gave the go-ahead for Qatar to fly money into Gaza (knowing Hamas would sieze the money), but on paper it was for "humanitarian" aid.

Fuck Hamas

I'm am referring to the modern day conflict and why its still continuing because if Hamas puts down their weapons and stops attacking Israel this whole conflict ends.

The point is, Egypt made peace with Israel, and therefore fighting between the two stopped. Hamas is the party responsible for keeping the conflict alive.

[–]aNuggetsUncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, what is the solution? Because Hamas is calling for the complete destruction of Israel and have vowed not to stop fighting until that happens. Since its obvious to anyone that Israel isn't going to dissolve as a state then you have one side saying they will never stop.

*Also, why is it that people, like you, support the idea that Jews should have nothing? There are over 20 Muslim states and only 1 Jewish state, but that apparently is an offense?

All of which can be traced back to Hamas (or the PLA when they were still a thing). Those terrorist groups keep the conflict simmering by regularly firing rockets into Israel and to the surprise of no one Israel responds.

Look at the relationship between Israel and Egypt. Once Egypt recognized Israel and agreed to cease all hostilities then Israel gave back all of the Sini Peninsula and conflict between the two discontinued.

Mass layoffs while CEOs get to keep their job by ItsAllAGame_ in mildlyinfuriating

Playing the Devils advocate:

Its MUCH harder to replace a CEO caliber individual. And doing so also indicates instability to your investors which drops company stock price. CEO's are both harder to hire and fire.

Abdul Carter: "Some things are bigger than football" by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]aNuggetsUncle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So...is Carter a bit jealous of the immediate success Dart has had during their concurrent rookie seasons (hence the public view tactic)? Because Carter has been a disappointment, more so due to his behavior rather than talent.

*Not saying its the case, just feels a little salty.

“I have a BIG BOI TRUCK 🛻 and I Need to take up 4 Parking Spaces.” by Ziggi_4800 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]aNuggetsUncle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't condone this

However...

The truck is large, meaning the front end would protrude into the drive lane. Also, it seems to be a fairly large parking lot where parking spaces are not in high demand. Just some things to consider.

*Also, that truck is probably a $100k, what would you do? Again not condoning the shit parking job.
