    No, you lose every debate when you use a pedophile like Scott Ritter as your expert.

    What did Joseph Sobran ever say that is antisemitic? You've got nothing

    And yet there is no evidence that Scott Ritter is a pedophile. Are you becoming forgetful?

    He was fired by William F Buckley from National Review due to his antisemitic columns and he spoke at The Institute for Historical Review, which is a Holocaust denial group.

    Yeah, nothing other than being arrested for trying to have sexual relations with underage girls, twice!

    "He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president."

    Hmm. I didn't know that's how it works

    Who do you trust with nukes, Russia or Iran? Russia was 2nd in obtaining nukes and although we came close to ending all life on Earth, we didn't cross that line. Why? All sides lose, there is no winner. But with Iran, killing everyone in the name of Allah is a one-way ticket to Paradise where 70 virgin women wait on you hand and foot. Most likely Iran would not directly use a nuke, they rarely get in the fray. They would rather have their proxies do the dirty work and they would most likely give material to these proxies. A dirty bomb doesn't kill many people, but it contaminates the immediate area. Imagine if Hamas detonated a dirty bomb at the Western Wall or the Temple Mount (although Islam reveres it too), the most important site for the Jews.

    There is not a single Jew that has this definition. And the reason is simple- Jews don’t sit at a table and make a list of people that may be liked or disliked. Jews are free and critical thinking individuals that are each independently capable of deciding who they each like and dislike. Indeed, Jews like and dislike one another, depending in individual characteristics.

    The very idea of even insinuating that all Jews think and feel alike is itself an insidious breed of propagandist hate.

    I don't trust Russia, Israel or Iran with nukes and they shouldn't trust us either. That's why countries want them. The countries that give them up always get screwed in the end

    They backed away from nukes because of a promise we made to them and look where it got then

    I’m afraid I have to award you no points for referencing a Roman enclave in 832 BCE, almost 100 years before even the mythological founding of Rome.

    And convicted. Twice. Other than that, though, nothing. He’s clean. Master strategist.

    Cancels Iran Nuclear Agreement then blames Iran for not negotiating. MAGA logic is strange

    Just amazed that folks think Trump’s rhetoric is doing anything other than inflaming the masses. I guess the position will be, “he warned them”?

    In fairness, it wasn’t much of a “promise.” And that is more or less Zelensky’s point. The security guarantee has to be real this time. It has to be clear on what the redlines are as well as it what it obligates the signatories to do if those redlines are violated. And that’s why Russia can’t have Ukraine getting an ironclad security guarantee. A nice squishy “stop or I might say stop again” understanding like the Budapest Memorandum is the most Russia feels it can allow.

    You think a drone could hit the Nimitz? How would Israel get missiles and launchers into Iran to launch from there?
