No Iran show for you! Cheers!

He did the right thing. Hopefully, we get a peace agreement out of this that Israel and Iran can live with for a while...otherwise we are back to square one. Cheers!

You are confusing Bibi, Trump and the Regime with the people they supposedly represent. Most Jews, Americans and Iranians want peace...even most MAGA don't want this! Cheers!

Let's not make fun of someone who actually accepted peace...doesn't that defeat exactly what you want? And so far, he's not letting Israel push the buttons here, but they may act unilaterally and then we have to see how the U.S. reacts. Cheers!

Israel is upset. I hope they don't make this a problem. Cheers!

It always comes down to Obama and Biden...ODS and BDS. Never anything wrong with ole' Trumpie and his behavior...it's just no worse than anyone else's. Glad you guys use such a high bar for your standards! Cheers!

That 45,000 number is probably far too high. But from Amnesty International...the numbers are still repulsive! Even 7,000 doesn't get you angry? https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2026/01/what-happened-at-the-protests-in-iran/ There were also thousands detained and still facing prosecution: https://amnesty.ca/urgent-actions/iran-thousands-of-protest-detainees-at-risk-of-torture/ Cheers!

Well, they are expecting 72 virgins each! Why should Trump and Epstein have all the fun! Cheers!

Are you kidding me? I love it when history is constantly reimagined! First, I'm not sure when the Western World ever accepted terrorism...especially since they were generally the target! Trying to make peace...sure, they were guilty of that and probably significant gullibility. Second, when has antisemitism EVER diminished? Ask any Jew. I have tons of Jewish friends and they would tell you it all goes in cycles and the bigotry and hatred has never stopped. It rises every time Israel confronts a foe, and diminishes when they stop. Not sure antisemitism today is even close to the level it was during the McCarthy Era! Cheers!

It's the same everywhere...the powerful hide out in bunkers and with bonespurs, while sending their loyal soldiers into battle and use their women and children as human shields. They are all mostly cowards! Cheers!

Weaponizing the government is not good for anyone...including Trump doing the same. I'm not sure when these guys will ever learn. Cheers!

Yup...he probably will risk some criminal charges to take out some infrastructure. There is zero chance of nukes. It will probably be over one way or another tonight or later this week. He may TACO if they are close to getting some negotiations done, or he may drop some more bombs to force negotiation. But it is unlikely to go much further over the next week or so. Iran wants to negotiate, but with an end to the war...not just a cease fire. They get bombed tonight and they will capitulate. Cheers!

LOL...that's about right! Although zero chance of that happening tonight. It's Trump rhetoric to force Iran's hand and scare the shit out of the rest of the world...contrary to Ourkid8 thinking Iran is about to win this thing like Eli Manning's hail mary/helmet catch throw to beat Tom Brady. Never have I seen a losing hand of a "pair of twos" more convinced they are about to win with a "straight flush" on the next flip! Cheers!

What is a terrorist nation? One using subterfuge and targeting civilians to achieve their end goals? Isn't that what the U.S. is doing with Trump's threats last night? The U.S. has a history of doing some pretty atrocious things, especially through the CIA...I'm not sure the U.S. is any more the moral compass for the world than any other historically dominant nation...Romans, British, Persians, etc. Cheers!

What the hell are you talking about? Making shit up again. Yanukovych was ousted and Putin didn't want Ukraine cozying up to the West and EU...thus the annexation of Crimea! With Trump, Putin gets to do whatever the hell he wants over there. Everyone's paying attention to the Middle East! Why do you think Russia, China and North Korea are playing nice right now? No one is giving two shits about what they are doing because Trump has created nearly unilateral chaos in the Middle East and is busy there. Israel is the only one with a real hard on right now, because they finally get what they wanted, and the icing on the cake is they've taken out everyone who had anything to do with October 7th! This is the Super Bowl for Israel and the U.S. made Bibi into Tom Brady! Cheers!

100%! Yeah, I would agree with that Doo...it literally is thread "doo-doo"! Not a good thing...and too much! Be more selective...the Thugs Bunny one was great...the Turnip or beet, not so good. Cheers!

Destroying civilian infrastructure to decapitate a nation state is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention, which the U.S. is a part of. The U.S. is also part of the UN Security Council which supports the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice even though the U.S. are not members of the Rome Statute. So while the ICC and ICJ have no jurisdiction with the U.S., they are part of the Security Council supporting them. Cheers!

Don't forget the most important one...Jesus appeared to Joseph Smith in New York proving two things: Jesus was American and American's love great musicals! Cheers!

Yeah, you are probably right. Although, I would imagine there might have been a requirement for him to be bilingual when he was hired. And c'mon...Air Canada...his French should be at least as good as Carney's! Even Harper learned after age 40 and was quite fluent! Cheers!

About right! Cheers!

You keep talking about this shit like 73Reds and Cubs, but Iran started this whole fucking thing with October 7th! You guys all need to shut up and take a deep look at what the fuck Israel and Iran both have done. Bunch of self-righteous pricks ALL killing innocent women and children! Neither Bibi's administration or the Dear Leader's administration are innocent in any of this dark madness! Blaming allies, those trying to keep peace, those trying to help, those that are trying to end war, rather that start it! Where are the peace-loving Iranians you speak about Ourkid8? Where are the peace-loving Christians Cubs/73Reds? Do you only practice Old Testament or do you actually read the New Testament? Your President prays to Christ/God, hocks bibles like used cars, and is willing to bomb another nation into oblivion. Ourkid8, your Supreme Leader is threatening a holy war and all hell to break loose, while the regime paid off terrorists to rape, murder and butcher dozens of women and children on October 7th in their home. I think most of the board will agree with this sentiment...fuck you all! Rant over! Cheers!

Yup. When you write the narrative, you believe everything within it! Cheers!

I didn't say Israel/Bibi was doing the right thing. Only that they were the ones doing it. In fact, Israel is doing something what I would consider illegal/criminal by the International Criminal Court...probably why they aren't a member of the Rome Statute! Cheers!

Great story! Did not know about Alex Christ. Cheers!

How hard is it to actually learn French! Go live in Quebec City or a smaller city in France for 3 months and you'll be pretty conversant! Use it every day when you are there and it is easy to pick up if you've already learned the basics in high school or university. I loved using my French every day in Paris last year...wherever I could, I would try and use it, get better, learn more...it was wonderful! Still at an intermediate level, but I had some very nice French conversations with people, including a taxi driver from Senegal...we talked about his family, wife and children...their lives in France since he came over 20 years ago...I introduced my family. The CEO of Air Canada lives in a bilingual country...working for "Air Canada"...every single hostess has to give instructions for the flight in French and most are bilingual in multiple different languages...he has no real excuse if he promised to learn. I plan on going back to France next year, and maybe even going to Quebec City for Christmas this year! Cheers!
