I agree. I think most people in the middle east just want to live their lives. It is the extreme ideologues that cause the problems.

The last regime change thing did not work out so well with Iran. At least things seemed more stable under the Shah. Seems like the middle east has been in turmoil ever since. I think if there is a regime change it should come at the hands of the Iranian people not something we instigate. We...

Nothing to see here we are all just paranoid lol and got spoofed.

If you believe this was an innocent mistake I don't know what to tell you. Research the amount of damage something like this can cause to crops, livestock and people and you will realize this is something more.

I am not sure what ratcheting up the attacks prior to talks accomplishes. Neither side seems to want this to end. I just hope neither side decides to move this thing to the next and last level.

Not the kind of escalation needed right now, but that ship sailed when we let and helped them launch our missiles into Russia.

Your opinion. I am curious how you think we should deal with this threat.

Blame the "leaders"(both parties) of our country that for years let this happen and have now put is in a situation where we can be held hostage by a communists regime. Freaking our about Russia, while China is doing far worse, just not in military fashion. I don't know that the tariffs are the...

We can talk about that if we have a recession.

IMO opinion the big one here is obviously China. Other countries are already reaching out wanting to negotiate, but I think this whole thing is to get better terms with China who has taken advantage of us for far too long and even the democrats are on record saying so for over a decade. We...

Fair enough. That is what some reporting is saying, I really don’t know for sure hard to know exactly what to believe. If others are charging more than we are should we match it?

So to keep it off politics. Should we match the tariffs other countries charge us? If not do you think it is ok that they charge a higher tariff on our goods than we do on theirs?
