That reminds me of a question I've thought about in the past:
IMO.. because Iran's brand of Islam is not the same brand as most of the rest of the Arab world they would be quite nervous...

There is a saying that goes something like this..
Iran ( & by extension Hamas) will fight Israel to the very last Arab...
Hint: Iran is not an Arab nation

To elaborate a bit on this thought...
.. and the moment we shift from free reign to enter and stay, to we are kicking you out because you did not go through the proper channels they begin to throw up violent resistance..
I would add this.. If I were Trump, I would make some form of a public announcement that who and whatever is financing these activities will be held financially responsible for any and all damage to people and/or public and private property..
I would then task the appropriate agencies to follow the money trail towards that end

But even with that, I still have the ability to see this war has little to no impact on us here in the US.
I am not sure I agree with this but don't have the time to explore this thinking.. However I am willing to admit you could very well be correct.
For me I think our world has gotten much smaller and continues to get smaller so the outcome of conflicts like this can have consequences that are difficult to foresee 3 or more years down the road.. regardless of who "wins".. ETA and I think recent history has validated my perspective..

Does Pelley think it’s ok for white Christian’s to also speak freely about anything...
Herein lies the rub... to the leftist.. Free Speech is the freedom for them to say and/or do anything anywhere in support of their beliefs ... on the other hand.. when anyone else that thinks or feels differently than them it is "Hate Speech"...
Their use and interpretation of these terms is different than most...

An invasion and short blitz would mean half a million to a million of Ukrainian men would be alive, another million wouldn't be handicapped, towns would be spared in the east, they'd still have their grid.
This is an inane comment... Ukraine & Russia would both be better off if Putin's military escapades had never been launched.
But Putin did and somehow you want to make an argument that Ukraine would have been better off simply folding..
How did that work for Poland when they quickly collapsed under Nazi Germany...

The obvious answer is you don't get to set the parameters of my opinions much less the terms of which may or may not be acceptable to Ukraine.

To paraphrase what you just said... its the difference between an business executive running the Executive Branch and a career politician running it..
Stunning difference in outcomes... because one is conditioned to produce results and the other is conditioned to get reelected and support the machine...

The phrase "Kill the Boers" has been in play in South Africa since 1993. I would suggest when psychopaths tell you what their plans are you'd better pay attention to them...
