Reduce flights or increase prices. It is not a Nigerian thing. Tell the US to leave Iran alone, and the strait would be open for all to use, as it was.

FBI field Offices had damning evidence of pay to play schemes by Clinton Foundation
The Washington Head office downplayed the investigation .
They had evidence of donors to Clinton Foundation having received favours from Hillary as Sec of state.

Examples.
_She goes to Russia ,secures a Boeing order of $3.7 billion. Boeing then donates $900,000 to her foundation.
_ Russia "Uranium One " bought 20 % of American uranium mining capacity, it donated millions to her foundation.
_ She awards Haiti reconstruction work to Bill Clinton. Haiti then awards her brother a concession to mine gold.


With Trump , a baseless rumour and full investigations were openrd

DOJ told field offices that the evidence they had was poor. 6

Trump will go down as the most consequential president of his era

A departure from the jokes we used to have as president

Sorry, thesolutions, but I very strongly disagree!

Reasoning does not mean "only expressing what you have been told", for that is the opposite of reasoning, and is more like believing. Reasoning means, learning to use ones brain to consider what one has been told.

Reasoning refers to the human capacity for logical, rational, and consecutive thought, enabling the drawing of conclusions, understanding causes, and making justifications.

So any philosophy that suggests that the earth is a prison for souls is from the oppressed without hope. Those that believe such is trapped in a loop. All they are bound to experience is rising and falling.

budaatum:
And the fact you say otherwise makes me want to ask you to define "enlightenment" and "ignorance", because your use of the words is contradictory to what I presume them to mean especially since I assume, from what you've written and which has provoked me to quote you and respond to, seems to come from a completely unignorant intelligent and enlightened person who does not only think "about work/play, food and rest".

To your questions, deepsight. Is The Earth A Slaveyard?

Yes, the earth is a slaveyard for some. For some, their sole reason to exist is to be slaves. A certain fictional book describes them well.

That same book describes their masters too since slaves must have masters.

The imaginary fictional "God" is of course an attempt to justify the earth being created that way so some may lord it over some.

thesolutions:
If you are taught to reason, then you are not reasoning. You are only expressing what you have been told. Because reasoning is inconclusive, you are trapped in a loop trying to find someone with different perspectives to get it of the loop. That is philosophy.

I'm not sure it's getting built.
The last court ruling shutting the construction down was legally sound.
And if he can't win there, he will have to go to Congress.
And it's going to be a hard decision for Republicans with tough reelections to vote yes.
Going to be a "let them eat cake" moment with everything else going on.

Jangbajantis:
“Simple” and “iron cast” don’t make it true.
Your whole argument assumes an open strait under threats and coercion is the same as an open strait under deterrence and reduced leverage. And I'm saying it isn’t.

So yes, ships passing before and after can look the same on the surface, while the strategic reality is completely different.

And the “Western lens” line is tired. Some of us can criticise both the US and Iran. But in the case of Iran, some people suddenly become blind to intimidation, hostage politics, and years of using the strait as leverage. That selective outrage is the real bias.

raumdeuter:
The King of UK is coming to kiss Trumps asss very soon like Keir Starmer, Rutte and every f these world leaders have done

They now know that US have a real president that cannot be taken for a ride, A president who is unashamedly American and will put America first

ijebosb:
I'll say this one time for all you Turmp sycophants.

Trump does not own the White House nor any Federal property. He is a temporary guest.
There is no law that allows him to do anything of that magnitude to the white house, whether it's through private or government funding.
The power to manage Federal Land is delegated to Congress by the Constitution.

If the President wants to make extensive changes to the White House, he should go to Congress for permission no matter how it's paid.

It's similar to someone renting your house. They can't just make extensive changes it to it even though they are funding it themselves.
But, most MAGA wouldn't know about that.

This Is A Both Sides Issue,' Says Side That Shot President Trump, Assassinated Charlie Kirk, Tried To Assassinate Kavanaugh, Tried To Shoot Trump Again, Shot Steve Scalise, Firebombed Governor Shapiro, Tried To Shoot Trump A Third Time, (cont'd)

LordReed:
I am even surprised he didn't say the assailant was an assassin sent by Obama. LoLz.

Jangbajantis:
You’re not actually arguing the Strait anymore? You’re stacking grievances from every era and calling it one explanation. Is that it?

Ok, let’s separate it properly.
Yes, US–Iran history is messy. No one is denying that. But using the 1950s, the Shah, JCPOA, and present negotiations as one continuous moral blame chain doesn’t answer the current question. It just avoids it.

On JCPOA: it was a deal, not a permanent peace certificate. Even under it, there were disputes over compliance, regional activity, and verification limits. So saying “they already had it” is not accurate. They had a conditional, contested arrangement, not a final settlement.

On negotiations being “interrupted”...swell point, but you’re acting like this is unique to the US. In reality, international negotiations are constantly shaped by pressure, positioning, and signalling from all sides.

That’s how leverage works. It has never been not a polite classroom discussion lol!

And most importantly, none of that changes the fact that the Strait issue is about control and deterrence in real time, not historical blame scoring.

If your entire argument only works by zooming out so far that present actions become invisible, then you’re not critiquing policy, then you’re just dissolving responsibility into history until nothing can be analysed anymore.

Jangbajantis:
Loolz!! That “Trump fart” line is exactly the level of argument I expected once logic runs out.
But let’s stay on facts, not vibes.

If you believe Iran’s behaviour in the Strait was just peaceful “status quo,” then you’re basically asking everyone else to ignore seizures, threats, and repeated military posturing just because it didn’t inconvenience your narrative.

And no, nobody is saying “Trump can do no wrong.” That’s just a lazy strawman when you can’t actually challenge the point being made.
You don’t have to like US policy, but calling every counter-move “thoughtless” while pretending Iran was harmless before it all started isn’t analysis. It’s bias with attitude. Not that I expected better from a "moderate Muslim". Smh

Jangbajantis:
Of course you’d call it “doing nothing” because your side only notices action when Iran is allowed to posture unchecked.

Before the war, the strait was “open” the same way a road is open when armed touts stand there threatening drivers anytime they like. Ships passed but under constant blackmail, seizures, and intimidation.

If after all this Iran learns it cannot keep using the strait as a hostage tool, then plenty has changed.

But I understand why that bothers some people. When you’re used to blaming Israel and America for everything, any move that exposes Iran’s bluff will always look like “nothing” to you.

thesolutions:
They enjoy the moment.

Jangbajantis:
The strait being open before the war is not the same as the strait being secure.
Before the conflict, it was open under constant threats, blackmail, harassment of shipping, and Iran using closure threats as leverage whenever it wanted attention. “Open” on paper does not mean stable in reality.
If after the war the strait is open without Iran being able to hold global trade hostage whenever it feels like it, then a lot has changed.
That’s like saying a shop door was open before police removed the armed men standing at the entrance. Yes, the door was open before, but the conditions around it were completely different.

thesolutions:
Someone. And it is an enlightened person. That must be tormenting.
Those who doesn't examine life don't ask what life is worth. They just live. They enjoy the moment.

Bro how did secular humanist morality give us slave trade when your Bible tells you to buy slaves? Is the Bible secularist morality?

DeepSight:
This is what I want to interrogate here.

PS: Let me add that there is this idea that the "god" or creator of this world is actually something as described in the bold, and called a Demiurge.

"These are false knowledge pretending to be enlightenment."


This is all you needed to say, please save yourself the stress of trying to convince anyone....

* Some interpretations of ancient belief systems like Gnosticism describe the physical world as a kind of trap created by imperfect or deceptive forces.
