You've demonstrated your ignorance several times before when it comes to the Middle East and this time isn't any exemption.
Iraqi Christians, even Shias and Kurds admit that the country was better off under Saddam Hussein. USA and UK have already admitted that they had no good reason to topple Saddam.
It's not good policy to let Iran carry out terror attack after terror attack unchecked and unpunished. You're aware the the Iranians hates the west? You're aware that Iran is a problem with or without nuclear weapons and that giving them funds to increase their military spending is a big fat own-goal?
Come back when you understand the Middle Eastern mentality and history, especially the history between Saudi and Iran.
MBS is extremely well liked among young Saudis for modernizing the country. Please show the alternative to MBS and the royal family, the Wahhabi leaders? LOL! Saudi would be bombed by the US, Uk and Eu five seconds later. MBS is not in good standing when it comes to Saudi conservatives.
Anyways, you should stop supporting Irani terrorism and start supporting the Irani people. Iran needs to stop bombing Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Not to mention Lebanon and Iraq. Not to mention Iran's genocide against Sunnis in Syria. Al Qaida and Isis would never have grown so strong if it weren't for Iran and Hezbollah trying to eradicate Sunnis from Iraq and Syria. We are tired of Iran sending spies to the EU to murder political dissidents and steal industrial secrets.
Islamic fundamentalists are in general the (second) most powerful force in Middle Eastern countries, so when the regime falls the Islamists are first in line to seize power.

It's funny how you support "lohndumping" on the cost of working class Americans. I'm sure that's an election winner.

Trump is the only US president worthy of the Nobel Peace price in the 21th century.
The Democrats won the presidency after an election riddled by election fraud allegations, small marginals and several days of vote counting. The senate ended 50-50 after a shady re-election in Georgia.
In such circumstances it would be appropriate to tread carefully, not to deprive tens of thousands of Americans their livelihood. You sound like the leaders in GDR, they also had a fetish of calling their political opponents fascists.

They had travel money to go to DC, and all that were arrested that we know of either had a job or owned a business or was living off a spouse who did. They also were eager to tell us about their motives, to prevent certification of an election they believed was stolen.
Democrats are Fascists? Yea right, gender and racial equality, LGBTQ rights, expansion of voter rights and access, not to mention an economy that rates high on worldwide economic freedom scales and you are miles from Fascism, both in the goals and means of getting there.

You have no clue what Fascism is, even as to the very foundation and fundamentals found in the historic thought and policies of Mussolini and Hitler, and are only sore because Amazon shutdown Parler for ignoring calls to violence including that to lynch the VP. Go back to the Medellin thread and tell us more about the hole in the wall secret night clubs you are finding in Centro. That's far more your forte.

Harmed relationships in the middle east? You mean opening a dialogue with Iran to bring a close on Trumps failed policies? Exposing MBS to the truth of his actions? Stopping arms sales to the supporters of ISIS and Al Qaeda? You know MBS behaves in almost the exact manner of Saddam Hussein don't you! You think that's going to turn out well once he is in full control?

4. you believe in corporate socialism where companies can do what they like no matter the cost and harm to the nation.
5. you don't bother to link that much of the crisis at the border is linked to past and present support of fascist regimes south of the border that keep their populations poor and disenfranchised so their only hope is to leave.
6. you are happy to spend vast amounts of money on a military that has not won a war since ww2 rather than spend the money on the health and wellbeing of your own citizens, where the countries infrastructure pales against your main rival. China.
As for Arizona I'm sure the motorists are happy that they don't have to stop at highway checkpoints.
As for your last sentence I personally don't care but these decisions are being made because the general public does care. Once again you talk about Dr Suess when I and other members of the forum have already schooled you on the fact that the decision was not made by public pressure but by the conservators of his estate to protect his good name. I know that does not mean much to you but many people think reputations and legacies are important.

Apocalypto Or The Stars? New California Curriculum Urges Students To Chant To Aztec Deity Of Human Sacrifice. . .
Revenge of the Gods: California's proposed ethnic studies curriculum urges students to chant to the Aztec deity of human sacrifice, by Christopher F. Rufo, City Journal, March 10,2021.
Next week, the California Department of Education will vote on a new statewide ethnic studies curriculum that advocates for the "decolonization" of American society and elevates Aztec religious symbolism—all in the service of a left-wing political ideology.
The new program, called the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, seeks to extend the Left's cultural dominance of California's public university system, 50 years in the making, to the state's entire primary and secondary education system, which consists of 10,000 public schools serving a total of 6 million students. . . Are. Tolteka Cuauhtin, the original co-chair of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, developed much of the material regarding early American history. In his book Rethinking Ethnic Studies, which is cited throughout the curriculum, Cuauhtin argues that the United States was founded on an Eurocentric, white supremacist aka racist, anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, capitalist aka classist, patriarchal aka sexist and misogynistic, heteropatriarchal aka homophobic, and anthropocentric paradigm brought from Europe. The document claims that whites began grabbing the land, hatching hierarchies, and "developing for Europe / whiteness, which created excess wealth that became the basis for the capitalist economy. Whites established a hegemony that continues to the present day, in which minorities are subjected to socialization, domestication, and 'zombification.'
The religious narrative is even more disturbing. Cuauhtin developed a related mandala claiming that white Christians committed theocide against indigenous tribes, killing their gods and replacing them with Christianity. White settlers thus established a regime of coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide, characterized by the explicit erasure and replacement of holistic Indigeneity and humanity. The solution, according to Cuauhtin and the ethnic studies curriculum, is to name, speak to, resist, and transform the hegemonic Eurocentric neocolonial condition in a posture of transformational resistance. The ultimate goal is to decolonize" American society and establish a new regime of countergenocide and counterhegemony, which will displace white Christian culture and lead to the regeneration of indigenous epistemic and cultural futurity.
This religious concept is fleshed out in the model curriculum's official ethnic studies community chant. The curriculum recommends that teachers lead their students in a series of indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the In Lak Ech Affirmation, which appeals directly to the Aztec gods. Students first clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka—whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism—asking him for the power to be warriors for "social justice. Next, the students chant to the gods Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totek, seeking healing epistemologies and a revolutionary spirit. Huitzilopochtli, in particular, is the Aztec deity of war and inspired hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices during Aztec rule. Finally, the chant comes to a climax with a request for liberation, transformation, and decolonization, after which students shout Panche beh! Panche beh! In pursuit of ultimate critical consciousness.
Do we really need "Immigrants" who dream and worship the Aztec gods of human sacrifice and cannibalism? As long as we send them to stay in your house and Biden's house with sharp knives and a big appetite, I guess I can live with what happens to you. . . So long as I do not have to pay for your funeral or immigrants prison costs. . . LOL Suggest you watch Apocalypto on DVD to get the picture of the future these crazies want. . .
