    And meanwhile in Iran demonstrations by the people against their government are getting bigger and bigger, this despite the fact that the Government is beginning yet another crackdown.

    Trump had better do something to frighten the Iranian people even more of us rather than their own government, or else they might actually overthrow the Mullahs and then what can our defense contractors use to frighten Congress into spending another trillion or so on various defense boondoggles no one will ever need or use (and good thing because they don't work anyway). Really, nobody's that scared of NoKo.. we see the Atom blast picture and then a picture of Un; most people can't stop laughing at that point.

    Reeeead it, only the Hong Kong Triads can come close to Hezbollah ito drug trafficking. Drug trafficking is today's frontline because it's funding terrorism and proxy wars also supplying rogue nations like North Korea.

    In my opinion North Korea can be brought to heel by cracking down the Russian Maffia, Hong Kong Triads and Hezbollah cartels

    Good News. :applause:
    I have been hoping Russia, China, Iran, etc. would violate our precious
    Monroe Doctrine and possible set up cooperative military bases with
    Latin America.

    :flagus: Global Deployments need to be curtailed.
    And if we can't do it.
    If Trump can't keep his promise to exit Afghanistan.
    Then "YES" to them violating our Monroe Doctrine.

    Then maybe we can make a deal, like the USSR removed their missiles from Cuba
    and :flagus: removed our missiles from Turkey.

    The same allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering were made on Saddam Hussein to promote the invasion of Iraq

    out comes the excuses
    The US concern with North Korea is nuclear weapons, he's tested them enough... we don't need any satellite photo's to know Kim Jong Un has nuclear weapons

    however due to sanctions North Korea has a long history with the Hong Kong Triads who are still supplying KJU with oil. (as China recently had to take the blame for - a huge embarrassment for Xi Jingping)

    Drug trafficking in Syria and Lebanon has been a fact of life for over 30 years.. Hezbollah is in it up to their eyeballs. Syrian military guard the poppy fields and cannabis fields. Its a six billion dollar a year industry in Syria.

    Oh so typical. Many RW threads are this way, since they only use fake news sources.

    Economically, what happens in the US (and the rest of the world, but particularly here) when energy prices climb?

    Dude, @TOG 6 , me and others see the bigger picture. Yes, the US has more independent energy resources, but unless you favor isolationism and breaking off foreign trade, then you should understand that our trading partners and alliances depend upon oil from the Persian Gulf.

    According to Trump it would be great news as your fracking industry will become a leading oil exporter and many jobs will be created so ............There were many threads created by Trump supporters stating that they will be happy to pay more for fuel so that American jobs will increase - did that suddenly change on Jan 20th?

    I saw the bigger picture over a year ago. It's Trump supporters who were in the clouds. So here I am pointing out the hypocrisy once again, And as a reminder, Iran never got near to closing the shipping lane to commercial cargo as that would also hurt their main exports plus most oil does not go through the Persian Gulf

    He/she needs something in life to make him/her feel superior and what better way than attempt to insult a screen name :)

    No question that its very important to keep the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea open to shipping.

    Yet you took the trophy home not knowing what is and isn't a Right leaning source. When you finally figure out which news sources lean Right and left.....then come back to see me. Until then do us all a favor and try not to fake that you know something about politics.

    Where does the Demos find these cult followers of the mopish blend.
