US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

And that's just a snippet with celebrations breaking out also in California and New York no less by Iranians. 

And it's not about having to do that Goose and you aint the only one who does as I think it's a wider problem that so many look at it the same way, I just find it disingenuous that anyone cannot say he hasn't done anything positive at all which weakens the argument.

There are no positives from this war, and longer term it’ll be worse. Do you think the Iranian people are going to thank the US for this? Or are we creating another generation of anti west sentiment?

So every time you criticise Starmer should I remind you to post something positive he’s doing to balance out your post?

Many that used to live there but fled because of the Regime have also been part of these widespread celebrations globally, not just the younger generation that haven't. 

It’s easy to celebrate when you’re not living there. Those still there have seen the infrastructure of their country destroyed but with no regime change.

It's only been 12 days, it took God 6 days to create the world so cut him a bit of slack. 😂

And there are positives that are coming from this war. I take it that you don't give him any credit during his time as President. 

As for Starmer, he gets plenty of credit for improving the NHS, much needed planning reform, rise to national minimum wage, supporting Ukraine, getting trade deal with India and the US, childcare and education.

Does anyone force you to give credit to Starmer for something completely unrelated when you criticise him?

If you like.

But then the deaths of 1500 civilians, including school kids is on him. As is the obliteration of Irans infrastructure including schools, hospitals and energy. As is the death and injury of any US servicemen. And the economic hardship this is causing and will cause globally.

Not wanting to join an unwinnable war doesn’t automatically mean you’re pro the other side.

I’d hate to see what plan B was.

No, the solution is to crush the Iranian Regime from bullying other Countries by neutering them badly. The one's pissing those off in the Region is the Iranian Regime showing their true colours by lashing out indiscriminately (their modus operandi) at neighbour states. It's the Yanks that neighbours like Qatar are thanking for offering. Right I'm having to raise the White flag for now as Madrid just scored a 5th! 😂 🏳
Qatar, Saudi and UAE are all pissed that Trump started this. They know what Iran is like, but had coexisted with them reasonably well. Now their tourism is in bits as is the reputation as a safe haven.

Thats why they are in his ear telling him to stop.

The Iranian regime still stands and now with an apparent harder line leader with a dead father to avenge.
