I guess you crave the approval, of another yank, sad life.

That's not what we were talking about. The statement which you derided as unsupported was that Trump was considering the French economic plan with regard to Iran. I provided you with sources. That's all. He is considering it.

Maybe they are boring as they seem to be produced by intellectuals for the consumption of intellectuals. The possession of an extensive education makes them more palatable.
Young Americans Prefer Socialism Because They Are Ignorant of the Past: Camille Paglia

“If we want to talk about what incites violence, socialism does. My parents lived through a socialist regime that murdered millions of innocent civilians, and I’m currently getting death threats since the ad aired. The only people inciting violence are the radical left, who can’t defend their ideas with facts, so they resort to horrible personal attacks, and as we’ve seen, even death threats.
“I put out an ad challenging AOC’s socialist views, and she came back and called me a bunch of names. That should tell you everything you really need to know about the face of socialism, right now, in our country.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate to ever threaten anybody — member of Congress or not — but it’s so important to be able to have this discussion in our country about what true socialism is, and what it’s done without being attacked through death threats [or] anything else. That’s why it’s so important to me to hold onto those fundamental freedoms and values — of freedom of speech, for example — and to make sure that we are able to have diverse political thoughts in this country. It seems like every single time a conservative speaks up, the left consistently wants to ban them, censor then, boycott them.
“I want [Ocasio-Cortez] to have a voice I just don’t agree with it, but I also would expect her and the radical left to respect my voice, too, so that we can have some discussion in this country. The ideas she continues to push have actually killed people throughout the world. Those dead bodies that you see on there that some deem as provocative, they could very well have been some of my own family members. This is why I have a personal story to cite against socialism, because it can’t come to the forefront of America.
“It was so important for me to create New Faces of the GOP, to force the discussion and highlight the radical ideologies that the far left continues to push forward and is starting to impact and have a ripple effect within mainstream America, and that scares me.
“So my goal with this is to look for strong conservative leaders all across the country to help spread our message and to recruit the next generation of Republican leaders and to help elevate them so that we can grow our party and make sure that we can be the antidote to the Ocasio-Cortezes of the world. We’re looking [for talent] all across the country to help build a strategy for people to run for office and to speak up and out against socialism.”
As usual, no relevance to the current events. Over 22 years ago? You really had to dig for that one.Israel is an aggressive nation and will spy on anyone . . .
That's what you got correct.. . .
NOT relevant

This thread feels more religious than philosophical.
Yes, economic success has a positive domino effect in communities. Successful businesses hire employees who shop and spend money in those communities at other businesses, which improves profits and tax revenues. It is win-win."Strong local economies have a ripple effect, and create stronger state, regional, and national economies. Increased small business confidence will allow them to continue to hire and to invest in their businesses, which ultimately helps everyone."
