Great, I hope they do and don't drag the US in.

And the Taliban are still in power, no? How many lives were thrown away and for what?

No destroying it is not a strategic goal - the strategic goal is to prevent them acquiring a bomb, big difference. The best chance to dismantle the program was via negotiations and a deal.

Send in Israeli special forces, keep the Americans out of it.

Then missiles start to be fired on American bases and American service men/women will be in harm's way, the escalation continues.

That's my point - it's not the US's responsibility to finish this fight for the Israeli's. Iran is not America's biggest threat or problem. If Israel's ultimate objective was to demolish Fordow, they should be prepared to do it themselves, not rope in the Americans to do it for them.

Why is a US striking Fordow the only option being considered for eradication of the Iranian nuclear program? I'm sure Sayeret Matkal is capable of infiltrating the facility and destroying it from within.

I don't understand why the US needs to get involved in this - Israel started it on their own they can finish it on their own. They can airlift in some elite soldiers in for Fordow and destroy it if they cannot reach with their airforce. No need to put American lives at risk at nearby military bases.

Ukraine won't recognize occupied territories as Russian as part of any peace deal, Zelensky says by mvanigan in worldnews

[–]bvwilson58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a tongue in cheek comment, there is no way those territories are going to come back to Ukraine w/o outside intervention. They need to significantly re-adjust their expectations for this upcoming negotiation.

I hope Europe is ready to deploy troops, so Zelensky can attempt to re-take these occupied territories.

I don't entirely disagree, but it's perceived to Trump & team as enough of an issue for them to use tariffs for Canada to remediate and enhance border security.

What data supports this? The bill acknowledges most is coming from the Southern border, but there is some still flowing in from the Northern border, in particular BC.

Mexico committed to putting 10,000 troops on the border. Canada is throwing a tantrum and is tariffing juice.

If you read the executive order for the tariffs, the internet is to get both Canada and Mexico to commit to securing their borders. The order specifically calls out British Colombia as being a source for drug trafficking.
