The efforts of Trump, the American military, and Israel in assisting the world are remarkable, and they deserve significant appreciation from all of us. I’m sharing this picture because in a few months, when Iran has embraced the royal family once again and democracy is granted to the Iranian people, this photo will hold significant importance for remembrance.
I agree 100%.

Thank you for being willing to write that post.
What do you think about what's happening in Gaza? What do you think about Tulsi Gabbard saying in March that there wasn't a nuclear weapon program in Iran and her about face when Israel wanted to attack Iran? What about what Marjorie Taylor-Greene says about Trump failing MAGA by going against his no war campaign promises? Do you have a problem with Israel and AIPAC having an outsized influence on our foreign policy or do you think that is a thing? Would you like it if China decided that our government was corrupt and a danger to their way of life and then started bombing when we wouldn't give up our nukes? I'd also like to know if you believe that God wants us to support Israel no matter what they do. Finally, do you think our toppling of the Iranian government back in 1954 and installing the Shah and his murderous secret police because they wanted to keep the oil instead of letting the British and us to continue to exploit their resources has anything to do with why Iran isn't bowing down to our empire?

We toppled their nascent democracy and installed a king whom we could influence. Every Iranian, even those who are completely pro-West, carries this wound of history like a bitter stone buried deep in their hearts.

Yeah, it might have had some influence.

Given the presence of numerous progressives on this board who seem to harbor negative feelings towards America and their own whiteness, I decided to initiate a discussion about what truly makes America the greatest country in the world.
Hound, how is it that you have no understanding of progressives or posters here? Is it intentional, pretend ignorance, or the real thing?
Well, Hound keeps asking what women are, so there are more than a few things that confuse him.

Exactly. That is one of the most selfish and immoral things our country ever did. It is no wonder many Iranians hate us, and Israel! So much for us being the bastion of democracy and freedom!

We did much the same thing to nascent democracies in Central America on the behalf of avaricious American fruit companies so they could more easily exploit and profit from impoverished, downtrodden farmers, thus creating the so called "banana republics" led by tyrants whom we could influence.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

It's obvious to students of history, not to religious persons bent on following their delusional leaders.

Yes, come forth lefties, come forth and remember your roots. Yea, shake off the chains of your corporate masters and remember the Bolin amendment and come forth and enter the waters of leftie baptism, no war, no surveillance state, support of the 4th and 5th amendments, down with the military industrial congressional complex.

I have a clear understanding of progressives and recognize that they played a huge role in the Democrats' loss in the election. Progressives and their Marxist ideas are driving American men of all skin colors to join the Republican party in large numbers. Progressivism is fueled by animosity, and men have grown weary of being targeted simply for their gender. Progressives seem to misunderstand that uplifting women requires collaboration rather than undermining men, and as a result, men are beginning to respond by supporting Republican candidates. When a political movement like the progressive movement expresses disdain for masculinity, targets white individuals for their race, criticizes western civilization, perceives the land they inhabit as stolen, rejects God, and embraces hatred as a core aspect of their identity, individuals will inevitably become weary of engaging with such ineffective groups.

Many individuals aspire to lead a joyful and meaningful life, yet Progressivism does not equate to happiness or fulfillment.

You are definitely an incel. Why don’t you go Ajax18’s route and get yourself a Russian woman? He adores her, and couldn’t be happier with his marriage.
