Please clarify what you mean, because this can go many ways lol

You don't seem to understand the implications of the "formally" in "your" response. It's not hard to tell which sentence you copied and which one is yours.

(Side note: who thought ISIS was a good acronym for an anti nuclear proliferation watchdog group?)


Yes, you keep ignoring why Trump bombed their nuclear enrichment sites. The timeline doesn't start with Trump unless you're trying to create a narrative.

You didn't give direct responses that addressed everything, you copied and pasted stuff you don't understand. They don't address the points I've made, and you keep pretending they don't exist as if that makes them go away.

Bottom line: I think making it easier for nuclear material to end up in the hands of terrorists is bad.

You can blame Trump for it, but it was already happening before Trump. Blaming someone trying to stop something that the thing they were trying to stop kept happening and got worse is kind of backwards to me. It was already getting worse. That's why they (officially/allegedly) attacked.

Yes, he didn't stop it. That doesn't mean trying to was the wrong thing. The mess still needs cleaned up. I don't like the "wiping civilizations off the face of the earth" rhetoric, but I'm willing to do a lot to ensure nuclear material stays out of the hands of terrorists.

The they're within their rights BS pisses me off. You don't seem to understand the stakes.

Flanders Field is an incredible tribute to those brave souls who gave up their lives to save ours .... protecting our country, people, and way of live.

During the time you are spending with friends and family, watching sports and having cook outs, please remember and commemorate what this day is really for. It is to honor those who have fallen in service and defense of this nation. No matter your opinions on certain wars our nation has chosen to fight, our service members did not choose to start any wars. They simply chose to serve their country. They gave their life, their all, leaving friends and family behind who had to deal with the loss of their loved ones. It is the ultimate sacrifice any person can be willing to give. God Bless them all and may their memories and our gratfulness for their service be ever constant in our minds..............

In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The Braves are dominating every stat.

Schwellenbach, Waldrup and Smith-Shawver are throwing and will return by mid July.

Baldwin will return soon. Acuna is back and will hit his stride.

They are going to be a load come playoffs.

You stated this.........


To which I responded with this....

Iran formally stopped providing updated nuclear material accountancy reports and access to its nuclear sites, including the location of its enriched uranium stockpiles, in late June 2025. Right after trump bombed their nuclear enrichment sites.

I simply provided you with a timeline showing the cause of when and why that happened. You do understand that's generally how a debate works, correct?

You laid out your reasoning of what led up to this. I gave direct responses that addressed every one of those points. If you would like to get back to what was once a constructive debate rather than baseless, accusatory responses that's fine. If you insist on trying to divert things away from that, that's on you. Although I can't say I would blame you.

I think ai is amazing. I try to find ways to use it in my work. This link is something I did for fun.

Except it's an inaccurate timeline. Trump's actions didn't happen in a vacuum. You keep ignoring what led to them.

Did Trump botch things? Yes. Were things in Iran already getting worse without him? Also yes.

There's plenty to blame Trump for without twisting things to the benefit of Iran to create more.

Windmills do twist things, so I guess calling yourself one fits even if it is fanciful.

From my perspective, Atlanta is a horrible place.

A timeline and accurate set of facts is not defending anyone.

As the timeline dictates, Iran had inspections and open identifications of where this uranium was stored right up until trump bombed those locations. Once again a timeline of those events is not an attack or blaming anyone. It simply shows a direct cause and effect.

It's odd how you yourself openly admitted that trump made this situation worse. That he handled it poorly and now you're claiming I'm the one doing it? Pot meet Kettle.

Stating that only an idiot would continue to report where their uranium is located right after it had just been bombed isn't defending anyone. It's stating the the obvious.

This is what you do when your back is up against the wall. You try to change a rational discussion into a crap throwing contest.

Tilting at windmills has become quite a habit with you. But then when all else fails......

No kidding 60% isn't "weapons grade", which is why I mentioned the clarification while expecting you to quibble over it.

Your words said you were trying to score points. You said Trump caused the problem. You also defended Iran.
They were doing things they shouldn't have when Biden was president.

There's no reason to enrich uranium to 60% other than it's the next step to getting to weapons grade which is the very next step. It's not a long step.

The uranium at Chernobyl was only enriched to 2% when the accident happened. Look at all the damage that caused.

It doesn't have to be 90% enriched to be used as a weapon. It's just what those with nuclear arsenals used because they could.

It's not just "Nukes" I'm worried about. It's also dirty bombs which are even easier to make.

Iran is designated as a leading state sponsor of terrorism by the US and multiple international bodies.

Yes, clearly nothing should be left off the card when you're involved. Any insanity is possible.

To quote Colbert. They post truthiness.

Truthiness is the quality of asserting that a statement is true based on intuition, emotion, or desire, rather than on facts, logic, or evidence.

60% is not weapons grade uranium. That would be 90+%. Who said I was to trying to score points on trump or defending Iran? I'm not debating trump unless there is something you need to tell me.

What I'm showing is there was not some urgency to go to war with Iran as has been claimed. Isn't that what we have been discussing?

I think your Bingo card needs replaced. There is now B trump on a Bingo card.

Willie, the way I look at it is this way. We've already taken a beating with DW and his contract. Right now, our Browns are in damage control. Keeping DW and playing him, if he's our best option, hurts a lot less than cutting him before the contract is up. None of us may like it but that's the way it is. We've dealt with the embarrassment and ridicule for four years. We've got one more to go so let's try to make the best of it. No other choice.

From the above article:

... Some Browns fans who never accepted him as their team’s quarterback shamefully cheered his exit. Not the entire audience, but enough to be heard by players on the Browns’ sideline.

I've been to countless sporting events...on the regular, when injured players leave the field/court/pitch fans applaud and cheer for encouragement. Sure...there are some guys who will jeer and enjoy the injury...but those guys are few and far between. Myles lecturing fans about empathy? His snowflake-azz has no idea what was/is in the minds and hearts of cheering fans. He should spend that effort on recognizing the posted speed limit.

That same BS was rolled out when Couch got injured and had to leave the field.

Also from the above article:

“The year before we signed him, he was the second-best quarterback in NFL,” Haslam said. “And then the suspension and the injuries and all that piled up. Can he come back from that? He certainly had the ability at one point in time, and we’re cautiously optimistic.”

Well Jimmy...actually....the year before you signed him he chose to sit out the year pouting over the team's decision at head coach.

They are going to need a lot of lipstick for this pig.

I think Watson needs to be demonstrably better than whomever is next in order to be the guy. If Watson is a 6.5 and the next guy is a 6.0 you have to go with the younger, still-developing guy.

Really ??? I mean we didn't need proof that you simply spew whatever garbage is in your feed - but... just so we're clear:

Mueller report -

The Robert Mueller report concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in a "sweeping and systematic fashion". It detailed sweeping disinformation operations and targeted cyber hacks, even if it did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.

1. Russian Interference Operations
Social Media Disinformation: The Internet Research Agency (IRA) ran a massive online campaign to sow social discord and favor Donald Trump.
Hacking and Leaking: Russian military intelligence (GRU) hacked Democratic Party networks and email accounts, publicly releasing the stolen materials through intermediaries like WikiLeaks.

2. Campaign Contacts and "Collusion"
The investigation documented numerous links between Russian operatives and Trump campaign officials.
While the campaign expected to benefit electorally from the stolen information, the evidence was insufficient to charge any American with conspiring or coordinating with the Russian government.

3. Obstruction of Justice
The report detailed multiple instances where President Trump attempted to impede the investigation, such as firing FBI Director James Comey and attempting to have Mueller removed.
Mueller did not make a traditional prosecutorial judgment on obstruction, citing Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president. However, the report notably stated: "if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state... while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him".

4. Prosecutions and Convictions
The investigation yielded 37 indictments or guilty pleas, including convictions of Trump associates like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen on charges ranging from financial fraud to lying to investigators.
Numerous Russian nationals and entities were indicted for their roles in the hacking and troll farm operations.

Let's not forget the TEN instances of (probable) obstruction that Mueller laid out . . . . Republicans - the party of law and order my ass. Jan 6th. DOJ being used for vendettas even going so far as to mislead grand juries. What a joke.

It is a good morning to wake up and see the Guardians and Braves both in 1st place.

Guardians beat Phils. Braves comeback and win in 11th. Braves now 20 games over .500 with a 10.5 game lead over the Phils.

Guardians winning streak at seven.

I am loving this stuff.

I will just say that I was calling him grandpa Joe long before he drooled over himself during the Trump debate. He should have never run as Weekend at Bernie’s candidate… Kamala was put in a terrible position and would have never made it through a primary. Dems are idiots. They did the same crap in 2016 with everyone hates Hillary, and lost to an idiot…

Mercia.

Sammy Hagar is 78. Someone reposted an old meme.

2021 was before the attack. You think we should just let them make weapons grade enriched uranium? It's certainly not the less than 4 percent for civilian use if you want to quibble over weapons grade. Whoever was president should have just let them? Just say, "You're breaking the treaty/agreement and supporting terrorists, but that's cool. Do whatever you want."

Trump didn't make them enrich uranium to 60%. Biden was president in April of 2021.

Defending Iran enriching uranium to try to score points on Trump-- Did not have that on my bingo card for you.

Iran formally stopped providing updated nuclear material accountancy reports and access to its nuclear sites, including the location of its enriched uranium stockpiles, in late June 2025. Right after trump bombed their nuclear enrichment sites.

https://isis-online.org/uploads/isi...erification-Report_Final_September-8.pdf

So yet once again trump created a problem and thinks attacking them was the best method to address it? Just curious, do you think it would be smart of Iran to keep providing access and information on it's uranium enrichment program after it was just bombed by the U.S.? There is a legitimate reason for what they are doing and that reason was created by trump.

Iran enriching uranium to 60% has been known since 2021. It's not some new development...........................

Iran first officially announced and was confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to be enriching uranium to 60% purity in April 2021.

https://www.sipri.org/commentary/essay/2021/why-iran-producing-60-cent-enriched-uranium

Those two things are not connected.

The Iranian Nuclear Program was under constant video surveillance in addition to allowing in person inspections. Now it's not. They were only allowed to enrich uranium to less than 4% for civilian use. Now they're doing at least 60%.

They've been capable. They just agreed not to and were watched to ensure they didn't in the past.

I agree on all your points, but I do think that just because 1 happens doesn't necessarily mean that 3 will happen. I think the likelihood of 1 happening is FAR higher than 3.
