cavs & knicks fans fighting over who gets to give the raptors belt

Most Europeans have no idea how absolutely furious with Europe America is. This is not just another disagreement. Betrayal is not something you just let slide. And the mouthy responses from Europeans are pouring gas on that fire. They have misjudged the situation gravely & it will have grave consequences for Europe— economically AND militarily.

These were the top 20 Twitter accounts with the most engagement in 2021. They were mostly either democrats, or celebrities pushing democrat talking points. Not a single conservative or Republican account among them.

Short answer, Thanks Obama! Long answer: Obama’s Jcpoa limited Irans warhead development but nothing else. Iran started doing bad things that Saudi Arabia and Arab gulf states and Israel didn’t like. 1. building ballistic missiles. Basically the other side of the coin. You need a warhead and the missile. The argument was that once the missile works they can exit the JCPOA and finish the warhead an it would be too expensive to attack them since the missiles would cause too much damage to our boats. Never touch our boats. 2. “Ring of fire”, which is supporting a bunch of proxies across the gulf just like Russia has been salami slicing Ukraine. So taking over chunks with some jackasses and then claiming permanent control 3. Drone development, which raises the cost of attacking them after 1 is done. So Trump tore up the jcpoa during his first term. Iran continued all 3 and then started enriching more uranium. Things just escalated from there.
