    Our nations have different interests. Germany is not interested in a rise of more sunni wahabi terror. You can visit Germany. No problem

    Why on earth would I want to go to a country that hates mine and speaks with such vitriol as you demonstrate, and one that supports the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.

    I'm just going by the totality of your posts, not whether you banged an American girl or not. Look I'm not even mad at ya about it. I come to this forum because I'm interested in non American views of the world, and of course that does include a lot of hatred for my country, but I'm not interested in the BS of posting anti-American comments (including conspiracy theory threads), and then trying to say you're not anti-American when you clearly are. Just be honest about it. Believe me, other people on this forum have no problem being honest about their hatred of the US, so you're not an anomaly.

    Discussing Iran also is a dicussion of saudi arabia. Germany sees Saudi Arabia as the worst in the region. we even blocked selling arms to them.

    We believe that Iran must function as counter weight to that.

    Thats how diplomacy works bro. We wont allow Saudi Arabia its poison spreading into the region and beyond. Iran was the main factor that crushed ISIS.

    We wont give up that.

    But we already reached the point where Merkel prefers to debate such issues with Putin and not Trump

    I don't care what you see, you see a benevolent Iran and US as the evil country in this equation and it has nothing to do with SA.

    I dont know. Looks like our chancellor see it like i do. She doesnt discuss with Trump anymore but builds up an alliance with Putin

    https://www.euronews.com/2020/01/11/merkel-meeting-putin-amid-escalating-iran-us-tensions

    Angela Merkel and Vladimir Putin agree to fight to save Iran nuclear deal

    Our nations were allied for what? 70 years? Doesnt mean we will become enemies but its obvious we have different interests.

    So let's recap your feelings:

    1. Some stuff he said about being POTUS for life, which was hilarious.
    2. Saying he wouldn't accept the outcome of an election, which he never said and only Democrats have actually done
    3. He threatened to jail people who broke the law
    4. He rails about the "fake news", which of course, they are. The Covington kids are making a killing right now thanks to the leftist smear machine
    5. He said some stuff about actually having Amazon pay postal fees. Oh noes. Why should they pay right?
    6. I had a good laugh that you suggested he and Putin set up hits on journalists
    7. Clearly you need to learn more about basic civics, as the Legislature does not have authority over the Executive branch or the POTUS. Ask Congress about the 6 years it took to get info on Fast and Furious.
    8. Yes he was the first POTUS to invoke a crisis /knee slap

    As I expected.

    A bunch of "he said some stuff I didn't like", misinformation, and "feelings".

    Like I said, right in front of your fact and you don't see them. You didn't actually refute one thing I wrote, only gave your "feelings".

    I see them perfectly.

    He's taken no actual actions that fit the definition of the word you should look up in the dictionary.

    That's right.

    Things are required to happen in reality.

    Things that occur in some leftists imagination aren't actually things that happened.

    In your defense some of those things were just misinformation and a lack of understanding.....like believing Trump has to comply with Congress.

    You have just proved my point by declaring Trump a dictator.

    No, I just proved that you don't understand the three branches of government.

    There were not. At absolute most, they might have had a unit of SHORAD, and maybe a Battery of AVENGER. But that would be it. We have not had PATRIOT in Iraq in well over a decade.

    The US does have patriot missiles in Iraq, although reportedly none around the Al Asad air base. (Some reports suggested the moved them from the Al Asad air base to near Baghdad to protect another US base and some assets there). In any case, the patriot missiles won't be able to intercept Iran's ballistic missiles and certainly not with any reliability. The only system that may be able to take out Iran's ballistic missiles is the Arrow 3 developed jointly by the US and Israel, but Israel's claims on the issue aren't verified or proven. We will know more about the accuracy of the claims regarding the Arrow 3 system one of these days.
