I think you call it eminent domain in the US. But I think it can still be challenged in court, but wait a couple months.
Yes, the US is becoming China. You put a guy into power that admires Xi Jinping for the same reason China made Xi President for life: wanted a strongman to run the economy and protect you from evil foreigners. And now you're getting corporate socialism, just like China has.
I didn't capitalize Congress tho, didn't you notice that? Or maybe I'm a very sophisticated AI that's good at spelling but occasionally capitalizes things incorrectly just to make you think I'm not an AI.
If your claim is that the strike is justified because you believe that Iran has an illegal nuke program, then do you also agree that Israel should be bombed to oblivion because we know that they have an illegal nuke program?
Are you saying the world is supposed to be fair? If Iran launches a nuke at Tel Aviv and 2 million people die and Israel retaliates and nukes Tehran and 2 million people die, that would be fair. Even Stevens!
I'd rather live in an unfair world than live in your fair world because I'm not a psychopath that thinks 4 million people is a good outcome.
Does the fact that the strike was made when all intel insisted that there was no justification for it matter at all in this, or does past evils justify all future evils?
I don't have the security clearances needed to see the intel and I strongly doubt you do (if you did you wouldn't be blabbing about it a web forum). But we do have publicly available information from the subject experts at the IAEA that Iran was enriching more Uranium and was hiding things from the UN.
Violence isn't working out well for Palestinians. Maybe it's time to start accepting Israel is going to continue to exist, trying to make it not exist is just getting a lot of people killed.
Amazing how fast you can build stuff when there's safety standards, no environmental regulations, no labour rights and the government can expropriate property without a time consuming legal process!
Though I think a prefer living in a country where I have rights even if it takes a bit longer to build stuff.
âA Zionist (if you will) Palestinian State that recognizes the right of Israel to exist. Not just to exist but to prosper and not live in fear.â
So he just means a state that doesn't want to wipe Israel off the map. He may not be aware that "Zionist" is a trigger word in far left information bubbles.
Iran was developing nukes and Carney is against that.
Instead of watching clips of an interview intercut with someone telling you how you should feel about it and guessing at what was cut out, you could just watch the original interview where he explains his reasoning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-N0Vf9Djb8
It was occupied before '67, just by Jordan and Egypt.
Also a big part of Zionism is the need for a Jewish state to be a safe haven in times of antisemitism. I used to think there wasn't that need, though I was fine with there being a Jewish state because it was already there since before I was born. But now there is no doubt of the necessity to have a guaranteed safe haven for Jews.
This generation failed to resist continuing the cycle of hatred that has existed for centuries. Maybe next century :(
It was pointless to imagine France and England would ever put aside their differences... until they did. It was pointless to imagine France and Germany putting aside their differences... until they did. I remember when I was young people said The Troubles would never end. I was told the war in Yugoslavia would go on forever.
People can put aside their differences. There is a Palestinian movement in Gaza that wants peace. Israel in the past has tried to make land for peace deals, but guys like Yasser Arafat fucked it up.
There is a willingness for peace on both sides, it's just the leadership needs to change.
The clip is linked, and you went ahead and made up a bunch of shit anyway.
What he actually said was "A Zionist... if you will... Palestinian State that recognizes the right of Israel to exist. Not just to exist but to prosper and not live in fear."
Understand the the word "Zionist" is only a trigger word in leftist bubble world. You've been conditioned to think Zionist = evil demon Jew, but in normal circles it doesn't mean that.
Why are you against there being a Palestinian state that peacefully co-exists?
There are probably a dozen things they could (and should) impeach Trump for. This isn't actually one of them. Presidents are authorized to do air strikes.
The left is usually not as ignorant of the facts as the right, but this is one of those cases where the left is ignoring the facts. The President has authorization from Congress to do limited military action. Should all of the Presidents before been impeached for doing similar one-off air strikes? Seems you want to impeach Trump based on dumb memes about this being the start of WWIII rather it being an air strike.
Did Obama get impeached for sending a SEAL Team into Pakistan without getting authorization from congress?
Also Iran does in fact have a nuclear weapons program. The civilian reactor is supplied Uranium from Russia that's already enriched to around 5% which is what you use for civilian energy generation. Iran had Uranium enriched to 60% which isn't useful for civilian reactors and none of the Uranium enriched in Iran is used in their one civilian nuclear reactor. The UN has reported that Iran is keeping secrets from them and there's been an increase in their Uranium enrichment, which again is entirely a weapons program, the uranium for civilian use comes from Russia.
So congratulations, instead of impeaching Trump for doing all of the corruption, or for deploying Marines on US soil without authorization, or for falsely declaring everything an emergency so he can do stupid tariff stuff, you've created a narrative that the left tried to impeach him for protecting Americans from the "Death to America" country's nuclear weapons. I guess the left is fine with the corruption and deploying the military within the US, but only take action to come to the defense of the Ayatollah's nuclear weapons program.
The left only seems to want to attack Trump when they have non-existent chance of winning or even convincing anyone of their position. On issues where the left has a strong case, they do nothing.
All countries in the world suck. I'm from Canada, do you think my country sucks? Maybe not because Canada generally has a good reputation, but I can assure you Canada has done many horrible things in the past. Doing some bad stuff now (pumping out a lot of oil, not good for global warming) but is also doing some good stuff now. Countries are made up of many different people and governments have many departments doing many different things. So Canada sucks and Canada is good. The US sucks and the US is good.
And yes, Israel sucks and Israel is good. Just saw a photo of the hospital in Israel Iran hit with a missile and out in front there was a rainbow flag. It's the only country in the Middle East where there are gay rights, being gay is illegal everywhere else in the Middle East. Or worse, the Houthis literally crucify gay people.
Iâve just asked this prompt to an unbiased LLM
The thing about LLMs is it's only aggregating things it finds on the internet. And nation states can (and do!) fill the internet with shit to skew things in their direction. So there's no such thing as an unbiased LLM. There will be bias within the dataset. If the developers make adjustments to make the answers less biased, that's just making the LLM match the developer's bias. Also LLMs don't really understand things like time and will miss a lot of nuance.
How relevant is a coup in 1953? Maybe to some really old people might remember it, but for most of us it's just something in a history book. It doesn't mention the Iran Hostage crisis which is way more relevant. I didn't mention these (or W's Axis of Evil bullshit, another instance of a US President being an idiot) because it's kind of irrelevant once nations make a treaty. The you make a treaty you're supposed to settle any grudges over the past, otherwise why are you signing the treaty? The Iran hostage crisis might be the one worth mentioning as it's a big reason why the US won't be establishing an embassy in Tehran anytime soon. I didn't mention it because we have phones so it's probably not that big a deal, but then again the US might be less likely to bomb Iran if they had an embassy there.
Also Israel has tried to make peace with Palestinians in a land for peace deal in the past. It obviously didn't work out, but the LLM should mention that if it's going to mention the occupation has been going on a long time. There have been failures in Palestinian leadership, Yasser Arafat was a lying corrupt asshole. Remember what I said about not being supposed to hold grudges when you sign a treaty? That lying bastard signed a treaty with no intention of following it. This is a major reason why Israel doesn't trust Palestinian leadership.
See if you compile a list of the bad things a country has done, they will always seem evil. But they aren't sports teams it's stupid to support them or be against them. I think it's fair to say to say there are political groups with this countries that suck. And countries will seem to suck when those suck political groups get into power, but it's really that group within the countries that suck.
Netanyahu sucks, Israelis in general don't suck. Hamas sucks, Palestinians in general don't suck. The Ayatollah sucks, Iranians in general don't suck. Donald Trump sucks, Americans in general don't suck.

Americans: Our system is the best because we don't have royalty, we have a President instead!
American President: Plating his palace with gold and being completely above the law.
