So if there's one area where you and I will likely immediately agree on, it would be that if Iran was able to develop nukes and become a true nuclear power, then they wouldn't hesitate to use them on America. But what Iran's quest to become a nuclear power does highlight is the vast complexity behind actually doing that in total. It's a long attrition based logistical and resource management process, a true political nightmare, to be at the scale to develop nuclear weapons. How does this apply to Ukraine? Well in order to continue to get weapons from NATO, they have to agree NOT to attack inside Russia. Which is, from a practical warfare strategy standpoint, completely insane from Zelensky's perspective. It would be like the Allies in WW2 being asked not to invade Europe and just slug it out over and over again in Africa. Or asking the Russians in WW2 to just limit themselves to retaking ground from the German invasion but not seek to enter into Berlin at all. So for every other country, especially Taiwan, the message is clear. If you can't get nukes, then make your chemical weapons arsenal as robust as possible. Does anyone want to be the next Ukraine? Set to fight an endless war with one arm tied behind your back? And yes, the MSM domestically and even in the international daily media cycle are simply repeating what some analysts in a quiet room at Raytheon are telling them to say out loud. From the perspective of an American and to protect the interests of the United States, then no one should want Ukraine to attack inside Russia. That doesn't serve American interests However from the perspective of an "idealized" Ukrainian, and to protect the interest of Ukraine, in that kind of "hypothetical" , then the desire should be to unload Ukraine's entire chemical weapons arsenal into mainland Russia immediately. Zelensky could rack up possibly 80 million casualties in Russia in about five months that way. No one can invade you if their entire infrastructure has collapsed around them. No one can send ammo, missiles, weapons, personnel, supplies, etc, etc via rail if there is no more rail system. If there is no one left to support the rail system, or the basic means of production. Two things can be true at the exact same time, The first is that Ukraine's core government and Zelensky are highly corrupt. The second is that just because they are corrupt and that's being suppressed in the international daily media cycle, it doesn't justify what Putin and Russia have done to countless millions of innocent Ukrainians. You can oppose this war in total and still also oppose Zelensky's "leadership" as a matter of principle outside of the war narrative. You can't win a war when it's limited to just on your turf. That's plainly impossible. I'll say something unpopular. Zelensky should have used chemical weapons at the outset of the invasion. If a fight is inevitable, then you should punch first and punch the hardest while you are still fresh.

California special needs girl slams high school after teachers branded her a 'bigot and homophobic' when she refused to learn about lesbian sex and get undressed near male teachers Thelma Gonzalez said she was labelled a 'bigot' by her teacher after refusing to participate in a lesson concerning lesbian sex . Her mom Marina Vivar claims she had signed permission forms explicitly exempting her daughter from taking part in those lessons . Gonzalez told the teacher that because of her Christian beliefs she couldn't take part, and was allegedly branded a 'bigot' ...A California special needs student has slammed her high school after teachers allegedly branded her a 'bigot' and 'homophobic' for refusing to learn about lesbian sex. Thelma Gonzalez, a pupil at Glendale High School, had been enrolled in a health and relationships course by her mom Marina Vivar. Vivar specifically ticked a box exempting her daughter from being taught 'anything LGBTQ+ or about sexual acts which were gay in nature'. She says this was not respected and that she was taught about lesbian sex acts including scissoring and the use of female condoms.... ....After her daughter allegedly spoke up saying she shouldn't be learning this, Vivar claims her daughter was called a 'bigot, intolerant and homophobic'. Speaking to Glendale City Council on Tuesday, Vivar said: 'My daughter was taught such acts as scissoring. 'When my daughter expressed that she should not be in these classes, she was called a bigot by her teacher, she was called intolerant, and she was called homophobic. These are all terms she didn't know, they are not part of our vocabulary at home. She simply expressed that due to her Christian beliefs it goes against her morals. At that point a staff member told her to look at her skin color.' Gonzalez also told the city council: 'I once got in trouble in the girls locker room because I did not dress down in front of other people. There are male teachers inside the girls' locker room. I was scared, I was terrified, because I was afraid of an adult male staring at me while I was changing.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12078323/Student-high-school-branded-homophobic-teachers-objecting-class-lesbian-sex.html California student allegedly called a 'bigot' by teachers for refusing to learn about lesbian sex ... A special needs student at a California high school was allegedly called a "bigot" by her teachers for mistakenly not using preferred pronouns, objecting to participating in a lesson about "scissoring" and refusing to get undressed near male teachers....Those terms, Vivar told the council, were unfamiliar to her daughter and aren't words their family uses at home. She added her daughter would not have known the words unless she learned them at school and that her disability prevents her from coming across them organically. "...... The teacher did ask Ms. Vivar's daughter to refrain from making inappropriate remarks in response to a reference to LGBTQ+ relationships," Glendale High Communications Director Kristine Nam told Fox News Digital. ...."We have investigated the interaction and have not found any evidence that inappropriate remarks were used by the teacher. We will continue to thoroughly investigate....." The Glendale Unified School District has been heavily criticized in recent months after a policy update allowed educators to lie to parents about a student's gender identity, and after the district sent LGBTQ+ educational materials to teachers for use during pride month without parental knowledge..... https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-student-allegedly-called-bigot-teachers-refusing-learn-lesbian-sex

Police drag autistic girl out of house ‘because she said officer looked like her lesbian grandmother’ ......West Yorkshire Police have been accused of “manhandling” an autistic girl because she said an officer looked like her grandmother, who is a lesbian. The 16-year-old was arrested for a homophobic public order offence, police confirmed to PinkNews, as footage of the incident sparked widespread outrange on social media. The girl’s mother, Lisa Rozycki, accused the force of being “bullies in uniform” in a TikTok video. The video explained that while police were visiting their home, the teenager said an officer ‘looked like her nanna, who is a lesbian’ and that the officer “took it the wrong way and said it was homophobic......” .......“My daughter was having panic attacks from being touched by them and they still continued to manhandle her,” text overlayed on the video reads......In the video, Rozycki can be heard telling the officer to stop staring at her daughter due to her autism, while the daughter can be heard screaming, hitting herself and crying while officers attempt to grab her. At the end, the teenager is dragged from her home by multiple officers, despite Rozycki telling officers that she suffers with scoliosis and a twisted spine. On X, formerly known as Twitter, people called the video “distressing” and “very upsetting”. One user said the conduct from the West Yorkshire Police officers was “totally unacceptable”, while another condemned the force’s behaviour as “disgusting.....” .....“Officers attended at about 1am and drove the teenager to her home so she could be appropriately looked after,” the force told PinkNews......“Upon returning her to the address, comments were made which resulted in the girl being arrested on suspicion of a homophobic public order offence. The nature of the comments made was fully captured on body-worn video......“When the girl was eventually fit to be interviewed, that interview took place with an appropriate adult.....“She was later released on bail pending further enquiries and advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.....” ......“However, the video footage leaves a lot of questions for the police to answer, were these officers trained in how to handle situations with individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, why were there so many police involved and whether or not the way it was dealt with was excessive......There have been a number of cases over the years of autistic people being wrongly arrested or approached by the police due to their ‘unusual behaviour’ I am concerned that this may be what has happened here and I hope it is investigated and the young woman is okay.....” https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/08/10/west-yorkshire-police-lesbian-autistic/

Two things that could help the plight of the embattled major black communities in America almost immediately. 1) Have black celebrities ( athletes, musicians, actors, performers, authors, dancers, etc, etc) all commit to donating large dollars to invest in black owned businesses in these poor African American centric communities. They can join in, or have the "cancel culture" come for them. You might call that extortion. I'll call it social lubrication. Dignity comes in dollars. With many small black businesses, that means creating jobs. When blacks become a true economic force, then also a pure voting block, in a town or city, they have political power then at their disposal. Their votes are worth something and those votes can be traded for public policy that helps their community. 2) Enable high level organized crime in the black community. It's too late to have formal law enforcement attempt to maintain civil order. Make it clear high level crime will be tolerated. But no attacks on civilians, no attacks on businesses, no harming tax payers. Keep your violence and mayhem to other criminals only. And only in areas away from commerce and actual civilians. Get rid of the bodies, don't leave them on the streets, don't make every scandal in those communities into national outrage in the national daily media cycle. If you don't what civil order through formal law enforcement, then "regulate yourselves", but be competent about it. If 20 teens with massive criminal records loot and destroy a local business in one of these communities, then handle it yourselves. Track them, snatch and grab them, drag them out into the desert, "handle them", bury them and never talk about them again. And before anyone freaks out, this has been happening all throughout recorded human history - highly organized street gangs as an ad-hoc law enforcement surrogate. There are plenty of places in the world where criminals are in charge. It's not perfect and there are trade offs, but you also will see many of those examples refuse to tolerate attacks on tourists, small businesses and "civilians" just trying to earn a living. You need existing black wealth pumping into existing black communities across the country. No one will invest in a pure war zone. So there need to be casualties. If it's not "acceptable" for outsiders to do it, then have insiders do it. Clean your own house, if you want the power and wealth that comes with it. That's the thing. People are soon going to start dying. Last month was the 48th straight month of 1 million plus legal firearm sales in this country. That means 10 percent of all guns right now in America, were sold in the last four years. That's staggering. My solution is brutal, but it's far less bloody than the alternative. Which is groups of civilians deciding to defend themselves. Which will spark new riots, burning and looting. People are going to die. Depends on who and how many and where at this point. The overall damage can be limited. But this is not some fantasy scenario where it's all win/win/win for everyone all the time. Trade offs have to be made. I'm sure the activist radical leftists in here will come charging out now. Go ahead. But if nothing changes, the violence will eventually bleed over into your neighborhoods, your school districts, in your areas and let's see how tolerant and how much virtue signaling happens when it's your kids under threat. Some people here won't really "get it" until they have to watch their own children die. They'll clutch to their "activism" right up to the point where their entire genetic legacy is massacred in front of them. Someone, anyone, feel free to tell me that I'm wrong here.

I'm relatively new to this forum. While I've been creating a lot of thread topics and supporting them, I've still only really been here for a few months now. From what I've observed of you, over a short period of time, @peenie is that you make every subject about you. You can't wait to relate each discussion to something about you or your life or your experiences eventually. In total. Not in context, but in complete total. So it stands to reason, when people are showing these videos and providing this information, you are assessing that the criticism is all about you. Which is not the case. It's just not all about you. But since you are a woman, or female, or the public implication is that you are one, and because this forum, like most, are predominately male, everyone just sort of accepts it and says nothing. Because that's what men do. When women complain ( doesn't matter whether it's seen as reasonable or not), men expect that. Would I use the term "animals" in a thread topic title myself? Probably not. I don't see it right now, but that's a pretty broad brush to say I'd never associate a thread topic about crime and avoid using some words or language, of any kind, to describe it. I'm sure someone will immediately charge that I'm a racist for that, or a bigot, or a xenophobe or any number of accusations. My answer is I'll handle thread topics as they come organically. But I'm generally information focused and straight forward and have established that in volume. I have 6 other well supported thread topics that could be perceived as being wholly negative about African Americans or large segments of them are unflattering to Black America overall. ( For the most part, I provide information, then I let others decide for themselves) But I don't see you attacking them nor their existence. Here's a thought, if you want to present a more positive image of Black America, then start a thread topic and support it about the achievements, successes and shining examples of the entire African American community. If you do that and heavily support it, I'll support it with you. I'll match your level of investment. That's the best offer you'll get in these forums on this topic. Do I think you'll do it? I doubt it ( because then it's not all about you) but you might actually surprise me here. Again, it's just not all about you. And there is a larger context to this thread topic, even if you find it offensive, that are bringing up issues that are of concern in many communities, towns and cities all across America today. But why have context at all? It's only going to create a situation where you must expend real effort.

For Afghanistan, former senior advisor Susan Rice was put in charge. The same Rice known during the Clinton Administration for enabling the Rwandan Genocide. 1) Billions of dollars of high tech weapons, equipment and assets were left to the Taliban, ISIS and other terrorist groups in the region. Paid with our tax dollars. To kill future generations of American soldiers in years to come, and to be sold in the weapons black market to terrorist organizations all over the world 2) Included in that cache of weapons were MANPADs. Anti-aircraft missiles that can fired anywhere using a simple two man team on the ground. When Joe Biden traded Viktor Bout, a known worldwide arms dealer, for Brittney Griner, he set out into the wild the best immediate access point to convert those weapons into the black market. Think about that the next time you get into an airplane. Or your children. Or someone you love. 3) Estimates are that 17-19 million Afghanistan women and young girls were then subject to being "war brides" Essentially left to be gang raped and sodomized as the "spoils of war" 4) Promises were made to locals in country that were not fulfilled. Those people were betrayed. This causes a cascading toxic impact on all US intelligence agencies and assets. You leave people to be raped and executed, it becomes impossible to gather and maintain practical information sources vital to actual national security. 5) The Taliban immediately cut a deal with Xi Jinping and the CCP. So the Chinese government can mine out what is projected to be the 2nd largest lithium deposits in the entire world. Amid rare Earth mineral assets worth somewhere in the region of a trillion and a half dollars. James Biden, Joe's brother, along with Hunter Biden, set up huge deals with Chinese businesses known as pure fronts for the CCP, for EV battery production, that relies on these precious minerals. 6) The Taliban and other terrorist groups in country immediately negotiated with Mexican drug cartels. The same ones getting production grade "precursor" from the CCP to ship through the open US border and pump endless fentanyl into our country. The same drug cartels that got weapon, again with our tax dollars, from Operation Fast and Furious, helmed by Obama, Eric Holder and Joe Biden. 7) The Afghanistan disaster under Biden impacts military recruiting, which is already under heavy stress to try meet current recruiting/replacement goals. Doing gutless toxic crap like checking your watch while fallen soldiers are having their caskets transported in front of you isn't going to entice young people to join up. What's the "end of story" here? Biden managed to arm terrorists with our tax dollars, help the drug cartels become more profitable, enable terrorist groups all over the globe by jacking up the availability of our own weapons, create the pathway for a new alliance with the CCP, Taliban and drug cartels in Mexico, enabled gang rape of little brown girls as they are sold off to be "wives" as the spoils of war, put actual anti-aircraft missiles in droves ( again paid with our tax dollars) to be funneled by the most notorious arms dealer in the entire world that he released, make American more reliant on China for our energy production/domestic fleet logistical structure, spiked the worldwide opium and heroin trade almost immediately, damaged military recruiting and morale, abandoned close to 1.5 trillion in rare Earth minerals, and guaranteed more fentanyl will now be pumped into American cities non stop. Everyone's looking forward to the point where you'll be permanently banned from these forums. Obviously you just can't get along with anyone here. You chose not to do it. "Check your watch" like Joe Biden, it's a question of when and not if.
