Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Lolz @ Iran now being in a position to make demands. Never has it been more obvious that Magastan is morally bankrupt and led by a kabal of child raping incompetent shitpiles.
One could be amused if this wasn't so fucking serious and if the Iranian regime wasn't also a bunch of mass murdering fuckheads.
The longer this goes on the more leverage Iran has. The world economy is starting to feel the effects of the blockade and it will only get worse. The effects are not only limited to the price of gas but also to things like fertilizer (we're right in the middle of planting season right now) and energy (if this is going to be a hot summer, which I have a feeling it's going to, energy demand for AC will be quite big).
While Iran is run by a terrible regime, their demands from America (and the West in general) are 100% fair and just with the exception of the part about Hormuz. The West has no business deciding how Iran is governed, and Western aggression hasn't exactly made Iran a better place to live anyway.
We don't disagree on those points, technically, even genocide is an "internal affair" if done within the own borders - just that if the UN were to function properly, and less toothless, we'd have a UN blue helmet force that could act upon such major events. Problem is when to declare an uprising against a government (and violent crackdown on protestors) as something requiring UN intervention, especially with all members of the UN having their own agenda :(
The whole point of the UN is to prevent WW3. Its primary purpose is to provide a forum for nations to talk to each other and thus prevent or shorten those wars which can be prevented or shortened by talking.
Everything else the UN does is just "well, since we have this forum anyway..." extras.
~I say this as a big fan of the UN and international cooperation who is a bigger hater if dying in either nuclear hellfire or repeating the stupidity that launched WW1 and WW2~
I suppose I was optimistic enough 10 years ago to set my eyes on what you call "extras" and now I am about as disappointed again as I was when the Rwandan genocide was allowed to happen.
What does "going all out" mean in this context?
I didn't want to assume that you were unashamedly calling for war crimes, but thank you for spelling it out and removing all doubt. What you are hoping for is morally reprehensible.
The immense pleasure is all mine.
You're disgusting.
Hoping someone nukes literally millions of people is an obvious moral failure.
Aren't you ever curious about what an enemy soldier inhaling F~2~ looks like? You won't find stuff like that on r/combatfootage these days.
There are so many toxins we have little information on due to lack of testing. F~2~, H~2~Se, HN~3~, H~3~AsO~3~, H~2~SeO~4~, BeBr~2~, F~2~O~2~, ClF~3~, CH~2~F~2~, Cd(CH~3~)~2~. Iran can solve this problem for us.
Dude, on the off chance that you're not just a stupid 14 year old troll:
No, I am not curious.
First of all, we have a lot of information on those toxins. Read a fucking MSDS if yoy want actual "information" If you just want to watch people suffer, you need to get some serious psychological help you fucking psycho.
No footage on r/publicfreakout then? A shame.
They have no cards at all - DJT
