    Germans are warriors.
    So are the British, Swiss, Scot-Irish and most European countries.

    Some ethnicities are warriors while other are not.

    Japan is a nation of warriors.

    Mexicans, Arabs aren't warriors.

    Some native American Indian tribes were warriors...
    (Mescalero Apache, Comanches, Sioux, Arapaho, Mohave, etc. were warriors)

    The Pima, Chumash, Yokuts were not warriors.

    A couple of days ago:

    Trump fans: Y'all need to calm down. We're no where close to a war with Iran.

    Today:

    Trump: We were basically almost escalating a war with Iran and I decided in the last 10 minutes to change my mind.

    I'm glad he changed his mind, but guys, we need to talk about putting grandpa in a home before he hurts someone.

    From the ass's mouth:

    Donald J. Trump‏Подлинная учетная запись @realDonaldTrump 3 ч.3 часа назад
    ....On Monday they shot down an unmanned drone flying in International Waters. We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not....

    Donald J. Trump‏Подлинная учетная запись @realDonaldTrump 3 ч.3 часа назад
    ....proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!

    1. America's motto is E Pluribus Unum "Out of Many, One" First and foremost America is a diverse polity, a "nation of immigrants" . We don't just tolerate newcomers, we welcome and encourage them, that is how we became the most powerful and prosperous sentient entity that has ever existed. We should shelter refugees, not take their kids away. Nativism is admittedly a strong undercurrent in American history but Americans have never really liked it as a whole. Trumps and the Trumpers are Un-American to the core in this respect

    2. Trump is about the most corrupt pol I can remember, bar none. Just in nepotism alone he is beyond belief (and many say legality). What are Jared Kushner's qualifications for being the man we have dealing with about the most dangerous man in Southwest Asia, a vicious and underhanded assassin who casually murders and dismembers journalists in other countries? Oh, right, he married Trump's daughter.

    And the worst part is that this nepotism is actually the LEAST of his corruption. Here:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=Tru...+21-Jun-2019+18:32:10+GMT&safe=active&ssui=on

    That SHOULD convince anyone, though the Trumpers will dismiss it, and most don't care anyway. Trump hates the right people, that's all that matters to them and THAT is as much not a hyperbole as it is an ultimate betrayal of America.

    Apology accepted, but don't dismiss articles, just because they have unnamed sources, or there so called 'leftist propaganda.' Given the circumstances yesterday, the article was highly likely true, and it turned out so.

    So shooting down a drone in international waters is not an escalation? Should we have no response? He pulled back to save lives.. Read the tweet.

    I think the bigger story here is the power that the office of the presidency has. Its too much. Congress can only declare war for a reason. The fate of millions of lives at the whims of one man is insanity. If trump had actually gone through with that strike and it killed people, iran could have responded as well until it built up into a full blown war. America used to be against war. The public used to be worried that other countries would drag us into their conflicts. Now we’re the ones provoking other countries and initiating conflicts.

    I really hope that was sarcasm. If not, nuking them is definitely NOT the right response.

    We could bomb their military base. There’s no way they’ll respond. They’d be crushed like an ant.

    There would be no all-out war.

    Obviously, the story was TRUE (from the moment it was posted).

    Everybody Knew that it was True.

    Those who screamed "Fake News" we're never taken seriously. At anytime.

    No one took those who screamed "Fake news" seriously. No one.

    Of course, The Times had the Correct Story.

    Totally LMAO at anybody who screamed "Fake news".

    Your link provides NO confirmation that Germany is "100% on Iran's side". If you had said 60%....or even 80%, then I would have gave you the benefit of the doubt. However, claiming 100% is nothing but hyperbole and makes me doubt the creditably of ANYTHING you post.

    It was. We've both been involved in escalations, which is why should we stop, and why we should definitely stop short of taking lives. We shouldn't go to war over a drone.

    Worse straw man of the day. Can you really think of no way to respond beyond bombing people? One minute you act like it is the only way to respond, then next you praise him for not responding that way. Make up your mind.

    Changing your mind and not killing someone is not "saving a life." Lol, "Well, I was going to shoot this kid today, but I changed my mind. Thank God I saved his life!!!!!!" People really fall for this?

    I did, which is what I responded to.
