If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi...to get them to the table
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The US lost the Vietnam war and had to withdraw

We live in a world beyond parody. The United States has had four minesweeper vessels in the Persian Gulf for 35 years. Just yesterday these ships arrived in Philadelphia to be decommissioned, a day before Iran announces that they are mining the Strait of Hormuz.

A gerbil in a Stetson above mountains

TFW you try to write 1000 words but you fail, so you turn into a hat-wearing rodent, and project yourself, with great sadness, above the mountains (even if there are no mountains near you).

Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York, the House minority leader, said in a statement that Iran was a β€œbad actor” that must be β€œaggressively confronted” for its human rights violations and nuclear ambitions, among other things. But he condemned Mr. Tump for failing to seek congressional approval for the strikes. The Trump administration, he wrote, must explain its rationale and justification for the strikes, define the national security objective and β€œarticulate a plan to avoid another costly, prolonged military quagmire in the Middle East.”

This is unacceptable from democratic leadership in Congress. They should be screaming NO WAR, not merely raising procedural objections. Cowardly, politically foolish failure to meet the moment.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC.
