I'm against it. But it has done it's job in deflecting a bit from the latest revelations. Rinse and repeat.

How stupid does a person have to be to agree to a deal that guarantees the Iranians a nuclear weapon in a decade if they pretend not to experiment now (which they are certainly doing)?   Unless there was something in it for Barry (and John)

Everyone has a personal agenda. Don or John. The way how to achive that differs.

ROFLOFLOFL... there are some VERY dodgy entries in that list. In what way did the USA try to overthrow the government of Kuwait in 1991 ? Or is it referring to the government of Saddam Hussein, who had just invaded Kuwait ?  

There are several other dodgy entires as well. Iraq in 1991, for example ? They where bombed under a UN mandate to remove Saddam from Kuwait. China in 1946 ? (it was in a state of civil war, and the US went in to - successfully - repatriate Japanese and Korean nationals). I'd trust that list about as much as I would trust a Democrat Party computer network ! :P 

(I'll grant you Guatemala, and I DO vaguely recall something about Vietnam. But apart from that it is misleading anti-Western anti-Capitalist propaganda, courtesy of the "Occupy London" swampies :) ) 

Meanwhile.......here's Phaeoton80's blood pressure whenever President Trump is mentioned :D

Oh there are some questionable entries in that pic are there? Well please feel free to completely disregard the point it was meant to convey then why not, Gardener of Roofs. Always quick to establish anything as anti Western propaganda, but magically never showing thesame talent when the propaganda is Western sourced, even if the narrative is so pervasively shallow a three year old would poke right through it.

Heres something to spend your afternoon on..

2011 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen; Conflict in Libya (Libyan Civil War)

In most of these wars, the U.S. was on the offense. Danios admits that some of the wars were defensive.   However, Danios also leaves out covert CIA operations and other acts which could be considered war.

Let’s update what’s happened since 2011:

2012 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen

2013 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen

2014 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen; Civil War in Ukraine

2015 – War on Terror in Somalia, Somalia, Syria and Yemen; Civil War in Ukraine

So we can add 4 more years of war. That means that for 222 out of 239 years – or 93% of the time – America has been at war. (We can quibble with the exact numbers, but the high percentage of time that America has been at war is clear and unmistakable.)

Indeed, most of the military operations launched since World War II have been launched by the U.S.

And American military spending dwarfs the rest of the world put together.

No wonder polls show that the world believes America is the number 1 threat to peace.

'..Quibble with the exact numbers', I think thats your que Gardener. The world is changing, America's hegemonic psychotic behaviour is seen, identified by more and more people, in spite of all the MSM's efforts. She, and her cohorts, constitute the main existential threat to the global society, global stability. Attacking Iran will only cement her downfall, it will be the epitaph on the grave of what used to be a nation of the Free & Brave, but is now nothing more than a bleak mirror image of that, a hollow shell of her former self, a caricature.. just like her POTUS.

This is a warning sign of what they are prepared to do if they do not get their own way, setting flags on fire, but much worse....threatening death.

I know right. Could you imagine any Western countires responding thst way in a similar situation ? Lol

Once Iran can act like adults maybe we will reconsider

Hmm... well.. the Indian wars where a bit deplorable, to be sure. Along with a lot of the wonderfully titled "Banana wars". Apart from them, however, another way of interpreting this table would be to say... 

"The USA has spent 100 of its 220 years fighting piracy, fascism, authoritarian regimes, and terrorists". In other words, the USA - certainly in the 20th Century -  has been a major power for good !"

dear lord, you're not still clamoring for Regime Change are you? Look what a success that policy has been wherever it's been tried. (:rolleyes: Sarcastic rolleyes just in case it wasn't clear.) The US had been trying for 35 years to Topple the Mullahs, and they hadn't succeeded yet. Now success was just around the corner was it, if only Obama hadn't signed this disastrous treaty? Do please try to get real. 

It should be noted the Mullahs are only in power because the US and Britain performed regime change in Iran.

Iran, here we come (..again).:gun:

I'm not in complete agreement with that statement.  IMO Iran having the right to say when and where inspectors may inspect is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.  I'm all for renegotiating this treaty for the purpose of achieving an arrangement that makes sense.

Basically I suppose the United States doesn't seem to care in the slightest what happens to any reputation it might still have for being trustworthy and keeping to its word, and being considerate of, or even aware of, the ramifications of its actions for global trade and the economies of its allies (France and Germany had both just commenced important trade deals with Iran), just as long as the one country it always stays on the right side of is Israel. But isn't there some embarrassment, even if shame might be too much to hope for, at being such a total sycophant? 

Since the United States made no deal, and the bulk of the government including Democrats were against it and it was signed into being by the ego of one terrible leader then who give's a flying frak?  And if the European allies in question were more concerned about global sanity than the potential profits lost by their corporations this would be a no brainer.  My own local company Boeing is out billions thanks to this decision and if you pay attention to what the president has stated even prior to being elected his plan is to negotiate something better and something that makes more sense not only for we and Iran but the world at large.

That's wishful thinking. Iran is not going to trust the U.S. on any deal-making anymore.

The most realistic outcome is that they are going to continue with the 2015 agreement, with everyone in the P5+1 group except the U.S.

That won't happen.  It will put their corporations in danger of having boycotts put in place by the largest consumer nation in the world.

Under the Iran column, you left off: Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, & Yemen at the very least.

 

Under the USA, you see the inevitable fact that we are the world’s policeman.  Whether we deserve the role or are capable of it, that is for another debate.  But who else can fill the role?  Who else would you want to fill the role?  Most people that see this list anyway understands the reasons for these as opposed to those that just use this for a weaponized sound bite.  Anyway, your highlights show that Iran is on the list more than any other.  That signifies that they are trouble makers and worse violators of the peace in the world.  And Core Islam is at the heart of them.

Under the USA, you see the inevitable fact that we are the world’s policeman.  Whether we deserve the role or are capable of it, that is for another debate.  But who else can fill the role?  Who else would you want to fill the role?  Most people that see this list anyway understands the reasons for these as opposed to those that just use this for a weaponized sound bite.  Anyway, your highlights show that Iran is on the list more than any other.  That signifies that they are trouble makers and worse violators of the peace in the world.  And Core Islam is at the heart of them.

 

 

The listing of Iran in 1953 is actually when the USA and GB toppled the democratically elected government of Iran and installed a dictator because Iran had decided to nationalize their oil fields which would have cost British Petroleum huge profits.

You'd be speaking Japanese and bowing to the god-emperor if some of those crosses weren't there.

That is incorrect.  If we hadn’t done anything, it would have been a coup and an unsympathetic dictatorship would have resulted.  If Pelosi was Speaker of the House, and over threw Trump, would be a similar scenario.  Being Speaker of the House is not a position that is democratically elected by the people.  They are chosen between the members of the House.  In a Monarchy, the Prime Minister also serves at the pleasure of the King.  We actually prevented an overthrow and had Carter supported the Shah in 78, there would have been no Islamic Revolution and the Mullahs would not be running the country and Progressives wouldn’t using ignorant charts to support Iranian tyranny.

No it's not

If we overthrow democratically elected governments regardless of how we feel about them and install authoritarian regimes we are in the wrong plain and simple.

Don't get your feelings hurt that not everything done by the USA is good and upstanding.  You do our side more good admitting ugly truths than by portraying us as always wearing white cowboy hats and fighting evil wherever it rears it's ugly head.

Needless to say, this is incorrect.

In the first place, Iran was a Constitutional Monarchy.  Mosaddeq was not elected to the post of Prime Minister.  He was selected among the members of Parliament and then presented to the King.  Prime Minister is an at-will position.  That means that the King can sack him for any cause at any time.  Mossaddeq had inappropriately garnered more power than he had a right to.  A Prime Minister is not above the King.  Operation Ajax didn’t overthrow the rightful power, it was keeping the rightful power from being overthrown.  This has nothing to do with feeling unless it is on your part.  If Mossaddeq was elected, then show me the election night results by district or region.

I don’t know what that is supposed to mean?  My feelings are hardly hurt.  This country has had to do questionable things to maintain stability.  But in this case, we were doing the right thing.  The thing is, is that the US has done no more “ugly things” than any other nation in history.  This is the nature of the beast in the realm of world intrigue.  Great nations are built on ugly truths.  No nation in the past, present, or in the future was, is, or will be innocent in that respect.  No need to pass out different colored hats and expect them to fit equally.

Well.... from the posts being made here, Isolationism is the only acceptable path the USA could ever take. Like, maybe abandon all overseas commitments, instantly, including NATO?

 

Fortunately, the Poll Results show that the loud & evil folks that promote that kind of view, and see every action ever taken by Americans in the worst possible light.... are in the minority. :D

"Eathing bitterness" is how the Chinese call it, would you all like salt with that?

They have to make it seem that way since all of this is entirely emotional for them.

 

And they bring up 1953 everytime any of this ever come up with for the very same reason that the Mullahs always do; it is the one and only little thing they have to cling to that might possibly give them a sliver of moral equivalence.... and they desperately need that because of the multitude of monstrous deeds committed by the Reactionary Theocracy of Iran since 1979.

Some would say they are too numerous to list.

But, shall we take a stab at it anyway?

That won't happen.  It will put their corporations in danger of having boycotts put in place by the largest consumer nation in the world. 

It will. Trump has choosen the path of isolationism. There is too much money to be made on the Iranian economy for European, Chinese and Russian businesses to just give up on planned investments because this POTUS tell them to.
