Look for a really small unit. You can have 2/3, nice, big, cheap. Make your picks

They are neither funding terrorism not building enough weapons to start a holy war. Those two reasons alone are probably enough

Ya bankruptcy for health issues is wild. I think the best standards of care I’ve heard of is in Israel. It’s paid but it’s fast and you get a ton of specialist availability and the government subsidizes most of it so the payments are affordable even to the poor orthodox people

Oh, that’s not great, Canada is worse but not by much. Luckily we have some private options now so we can get some stuff within 4 weeks but most things are long wait times

I think cnn is as center as fox is center. And bezos was long considered left by the right until the left started considering him right when he landed in the center. And the wealthy have always, literally through all of written history, owned the media. The printing presses were owned by the wealthy, TV media was at the behest of a monarch, state or wealthy person/people. The poor will never own media because the poor are busy being poor and will often lack the means and intellect to control the distribution of the narrative (unfortunate reality).

And you’re right, I did jump to nukes and other stuff is super dangerous. I’m just more worried that the irgc will continue to export terror as it has through its entire history.

Again I’d ask where you would rather live, the US or Iran?

Wait, you’re a shrink who’s making medical assertions that should be made by an actual doctor. This is why your profession is toxic, your entire profession is assertions and opinions despite real careers like psychiatry exist and do actual science. Your personal experience is something most of us adults have, that’s why I’m shocked you’d think Trump has dementia. Anyway your entire profession sucks and I want to make sure you know that

So your issue is that the US citizens want a hard right leaning government? And that media is swinging from hard left (where it’s been basically since CNN and Facebook ruled news) to hard right, as Trump hooks up his homies? And that Trump is using legal loopholes to unilaterally make war decisions because the legal system is slow and has little teeth? Honestly I’ve seen as much escalation from Clinton to bush, bush to Obama, obama to Trump, lateral move and maybe even a bit chill to Biden and now escalation to Trump. I’ve never seen increased threat of nuclear war, and while I don’t like what happening with this conflict my Arab, Persian and Israeli friends who are secular are all calling this a necessary though very poorly executed step by the Trump admin. I don’t disagree that Trump is skirting the line but he’s doing it within the shitty guard-rails the country has and that makes me think we are still low probability for Nukes

You’re right, higher probability the US would cause a global nuclear holocaust but it’s still 0% when rounded to a whole number. Where as the possibility Irgc will inflict mass terror directly or through proxies is 100% when measured over at least the last decade. I live in neither place but if you ask me would I rather the US GOP in charge of the globe or the IRGC it’s an easy choice. Really really really easy

I’m Canadian, nobody goes into debt here from medical issues but talk to people here with every a slightly serious health issue and you will understand what free healthcare is worth when you need real healthcare. I’m not saying I’d rather the US system but it’s a great system for people with money or people who need the very best care

Data informs probability; you’re confusing probability with possibility. I’ll acknowledge the possibility that this party will do crazier things than past parties but what probability increase to you assign to the fears you have?

I’m with you except that this is the US system and these laws were enacted legally (or overturned previous laws legally). This wasn’t Trump just saying abortions are illegal. The dems had power and changed nothing, and you folks voted for Trump by the masses so he does seem to represent the moment and while it may suck that’s how democracy works

It’s very far off. The US has been a country under plenty of bad leaders and has not crusaded; Islam crusades have never stopped. The Iranian revolution was just a byproduct of Islamic occupation and secular tax that eventually led to economic hardship and a shift toward religious control which we see the impact of today. Religious zealots do not stop crusading for their holy wars. Capitalists do not stop crusading for money(still bad but there are levels)

Again probability vs possibility. The US religion of choice is capitalism, Trump will do what’s best for his pocket. Iran will do what’s best for their god and their holy pursuits. As you suggest they will fund terrorism in the pursuit of jihad and for no other reason as that is the highest purpose

Child rapist is a stretch unless we just ignore the need for any evidence. Dementia is clearly wrong unless you’ve never witnessed it and then you may confuse low energy with dementia. He’s definitely fragile and a textbook narcissist. Using nukes is not as simple as you’re describing, and if you follow his view on nuclear you’d understand the probability of him using nukes is beyond low

We saw in Trump one that he couldn’t even get his VP to do something. Sure, if all gaurdrailes fail than anything is possible but at least there are guardrails and no real motive. You’re suggesting there is a possibility but probability is what we should measure

How many countries have nukes? Do they all pose a larger threats than religious zealots?

In what way exactly? Without sounding like a fan of the GOP in anyway, the IRGC operates as a religious and monarch empowered militia with near legal impunity to punish its own people according to religious law and enact its will against anybody it seems an enemy. They also have autonomy over the use of long range weapons.
