I guess you missed the part where it was a hypothetical scenario.
A nonsensical hypothetical scenario is just as worthless as a nonsensical but actual scenario.
So Brexit can be a mistake in the same way that electing HRC could be. Got it.Honouring Brexit isn't a mistake. That was the will of the people. Nothing else matters.
Where did Trump admit impeachment motivated the taking out of Suleimaini?
I’ve been thinking about this and I may be being unreasonable, so help me out if I am, but Trump’s “victory” came at a cost of approximately 200 human lives. A genuine tragedy in almost every other context. Most of those lives were taken in direct response to Trump assassinating, probably illegally according to international laws, maybe American too, a general who is largely replaceable. Trump admitted the impeachment partially motivated the act and the rest of the motivation is not very strongly justified at this time. The whole circus seems unnecessary and only makes sense in a way that props up narratives rather than a utilitarian need. If I am right, and please tell me why I’m not, then this seems less a win and more an abhorrent charade.
Further, the Iranians admitted they are the ones who fired the missile at the plane.
How in the world do you lay that on Trump?I am not saying it was Trump's fault. What I said and am saying now is that the whole episode cost a lot of lives and for anyone to claim it was a victory isn't making sense to me. I am open to hearing why others think it was a victory though.
I remember reading a quote from the chinese equivalent of Minister of the Environment in the early 2000s, around the time when they were pushing to get a refridgerator in the home of everyone in china. He was asked about why they weren't learning from the mistakes made by western nations when it came to pollution and he basically said that they were entitled to make the same mistakes that the west made. With a mentality like that its not hard to understand why change is slow and often painful for humans.I think he was probably saying "you knew and made those 'mistakes' anyway because of the economic advantages and we're not going to hobble ourselves either".
We could all stop using cars tomorrow ... but we're not going to are we?
Looks like Trump got this one right...
Still #Bernie2020
Got what right?
His deterrence foreign policy approach to Iran.
How is it right?
Deterrence has been established and there isn't a war.
And if Clinto had got in, there would just have been an even harder push to the Republicans in this election as the electorate seeked to right that wrong. It'd even out.
Iran just can't catch a break:

The descent in to pedantry.
Wait a minute...
Stating someone is capable of improvement and wishing for the improvement = a personal attack...
I think we might have a clear and concise starting point from which to commence our practice!
Incorrect.So, stating it is a "mistake," (and that is the ultimate length and breadth of the Fox comments offered in the video) = wrong in every instance, regardless of extenuating circumstances?
Yes, otherwise you are left having to put words in their mouths.
You are the one who is putting words into the mouths of every Fox personality offered in the clip.
You need to rewatch the video.
The single most succinct comment made in the clip is the word, "mistake."
Yet you are here, making comments on the board, doing exactly that.QuoteI think there is a clear distinction in how/when/why/who is doing the meeting.
That doesn’t mean that the Fox News hosts thought that. Again, I think it’s a mistake to assume someone’s intention especially when it appears I am projecting my own desires and beliefs on to them.
Highly relevant.QuoteI think they turned out to be pretty forecasters in this instance.
Irrelevant.QuoteGlad we agree.QuoteI think you are capable of improving and wish you would.QuoteYou got to pay attention to the whole beast from afar...
No idea what you are talking about. Generally it seems that you haven’t analyzed what is actually said in this clip and when it was said but rather who it was said about and your knowledge of how his administration played out to make a post-hoc analysis. Seems much more likely that Fox, like CNN are just a bunch of corporate shills serving an editorial purpose regardless of the truth.
Then a personal attack. Why, my dude?

Obama was going to meet with Kim-Jong and give him a pallet full of cash.
Trump met with him a couple of times and said no money, except in the exploding bomb coming your way if you keep mouthing off...
So no...not Fox being hypocritical...
