    Libya has turned into a hot bed of chaos....you might recall we lost an ambassador there. There is also an active slave trade

    ISIS is not defeated. They were chased out but still function nicely in Africa.
    Those pallets of $$ were Iran's money that we had frozen. Obama released it as part of the agreement. Trump is hardly "no-nonsense".
    He is full of threats and nonsense when he should not threaten but just do or don't, like Reagan.

    Regardless of what you say, whether true or not, Trump did not listen to Bolton and you still have your panties in a knot!

    Im atheist. Christianity and Islam is same for me. A cult from middle east.

    Im proud that eastern Germany is 99% atheist. Infact in polls tehy could not find a single young person to believe in god.

    We are free of that opression. I dont hate you, i pity you.

    What I heard in a dark secret place, that Trump was informed by some spooks that Iran wanted Trump to order a strike on Iran.

    Iran's greatest fears right now is that President Trump might be reelected for another four years.

    Who Iran wants to see in the White House is Joe Biden or "Pocahontas" Elizabeth Warren.

    Germany will be 20% Islamic by 2050 and majority Islamic by 2100. Demographics don't lie.

    eastern Germany is 0% islamic now and will be 0% islamic in 2100.

    Considering our history and the fact we have not even half as much muslims as we once had another group, it could be 0 in all of Germany by 2045.

    The OP is wrong. Trump never approved the strike on Iran.

    You could not even find Germany on a map.

    Muslims in Germany are unequal setteled. In Eastern Germany are almost zero. The extreme far right rules here. My state has not even a single mosque.
    When they tried to build one, they could not find a construction company that does it. People here react so hostile to muslims, that even the few run away.

    Most of them settle in west German cities like cologne, essen or dortmund.

    Which means you have large concentrations in areas which will start catering to Sharia law like happens elsewhere. Wonder if you can find the United States on a map?

    Um.... right... your official media presence on youtube doesn't even include ethnic Germans. I respect your desire to protect your culture but you are going to lose. The billionaire class (which is international) has set the agenda for your country and what you want is irrelevant to them. People like you have NO voice whatsoever and the only reason that we know that you exist is that the MSM smears you from time to time.

    By the way, my son will be in Passau this summer, he has some good friends that are German. He spent a month there last summer.

    It's not that anybody has their "panties in a knot". It is Trump's handling of the matter that is in question.

    Trump by surrounding himself with the most lunatic warmongers in America despite campaigning on a promise to stay out of foreign wars and completely capitulating to the Israeli/Saudi project to destroy Shia Iran is bumbling your nation into a possibly the most disastrous war in American history. This is going to be Vietnam times 100 and has the potential to blow up the entire ME and possibly worse.

    I don't think you quite realize the moment we are at right now or the forces that are lining up against you thanks to Trump's belligerent, lunatic policies towards friend and foe alike.

    You are on the precipice and you have very little wiggle room to get out.

    Perhaps cooler heads will prevail but I don't see anyone with the leadership to get a handle on this before it goes off in your face.

    Trump hasn't gotten us into any new conflicts or wars.

    So again, what the heck are you whining about?

    I'm not whining.

    You are in conflict in Venezuela. You are supporting the Saudi war of aggression in Yemen. You have pretty much put the nail in the coffin of two-state solution in Palestine. You are in an economic war with China and Russia and forcing those countries together for mutual protection.

    And though you don't yet understand it, you are on the precipice of a disastrous war of aggression with the potential to be another Vietnam and possibly worse to the point you could take the whole world down with you.

    If that is whining to you, you don't understand the situation your country is in or how dangerous this moment is.

    A most accurate assessment of the world on the precipice. Scary

    Same argument that anyone who criticizes Israeli policy towards Arabs in the territory it occupies is with Hamas.

    Nothing further from the truth.

    You need to understand that you are the aggressor here. You tore up an international agreement that limited Iran`s ability to create nukes for a period of time which could have been re-negotiated and which the whole world (with the exception of Israel and Saudi Arabia) including the UN security council was on board with. You re-imposed sanctions despite the fact that Iran was in full compliance with the terms of the deal. You are strangling Iran`s economy and creating great hardship for it`s people - killing women and children who can`t get medicine or proper nutrition. You have surrounded them with military forces and are threatening them with annihilation.

    And why would anyone negotiate with you with a gun to their head and with the knowledge that America cannot be trusted to keep it`s word in international agreements.

    Look what happened when Kaddafi and Saddam gave up wmd`s

    You think Iran is stupidÉ

    Thank you. This is the most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Very scary. And it is all self-inflicted by a lunatic administration run by mad-men and crazed delusional charlatans and frauds.

    Watching Lindsay Graham on mainstream media yesterday was terrifying.

    The delusion and hubris of empire overreaching it`s capacity plays out yet again with the whole world hanging in the balance.
