not certain - their culture values strength. Without a show of
strength, America won't be respected by Iran.
This. Exactly this.
Their culture perceives diplomacy as a sign of weakness. It is the reason there will never be peace in the middle east, at least not until End Times.
This is what is good about the "deal of the century." It accepts the reality that the Arabs don't want a deal. That they will continue to scream and yell as long as nobody bombs them into oblivion.
There may be demands that Israel is willing to meet, but they're not going to be able to have them heard until they drop destroying Israel off the wishlist.
yeah, you and I were talking about this a couple weeks ago. that's why you can't even talk to Tlaib, in particular.
she is a total fraud.

nope. new elections very soon, where everyone will vote the same and there will be no coalition again,

Former Nazi Guard Is Convicted in One of Germany’s Last Holocaust Trials
The 93-year-old defendant was convicted of 5,230 counts of accessory to murder — one for each person’s death while he was at the Stutthof camp — but was tried in juvenile court, because he was 17 at the time.

These stories keep popping up every now and then.
They are just a nother case of "We won, and we show it destroying our helpless enemies for dramatical effect".
I don't think most of these sentences accomplish anything in practice. They are not about reintegrating criminals in society. Besides, I doubt most of this people can be held responsible of half the stuff they put on them. I mean, I bet if you were a soldier in the Nazi army and refused to get some jew shot on command, they would have shot you for insubordination.
I am sure he would have been executed or put in a camp if he didn't comply. They are saying he was morally wrong for making the choice he did. With that reasoning there would be no wars because murder is wrong. Humans will do whatever it takes to survive, including morally wrong things.
We held von Braun as a hero for getting us to the moon, he wasn't tried.
Now that he has been convicted I am sure this 93 year-old has learned his lesson and will think long and hard before becoming a guard in a Nazi concentration camp again. Justice has been served.
Seems like this is a slippery slope that ends up justifying holding descendants of plantation holders guilty for the human rights abuses of their great great grand fathers.
Oregon becomes the first state to decriminalize hard drugs like cocaine and heroin

decriminalizing psilocybin and weed makes plenty of sense, but I don't really agree on heroin/cocaine.
From what I read there won't be any state licensed stores, you can't buy it, but if you are caught with it then you must pay a fine and get treatment.
Rehabilitation not incarceration.
What did it take? Nope, not the fact that it's common sense. It took an observation that it would reduce the number of arrests of people in minority communities.
Whatever. As is always the case with these things, you have to look at the whole picture instead of isolating specific issues. Legalizing *everything* from alcohol to cocaine makes sense, as long as you address the downstream effects. For example, you can't have the public paying for the expense of treating new addicts. You also have to deal with the effects of people driving while stoned, but existing DUI laws ought to cover that already.

House votes to decriminalize marijuana at federal level

I think out here in Arizona we just did it because we're at an age where almost all of us have smoked weed, many of us still do, and almost all of us have never experienced Reefer madness or become the Big Lebowski.
We're productive members of society who get stupid drunk more frequently than we get high - and do dumber things drunk than when we're loaded - and we don't see why we continue to make it something we have to lie that we have glaucoma in order to score.
And anyone saying that it will lower minority arrests out here, is just using PoC as an excuse so they can rip a bong in their backyard without being afraid the neighbors are going to call the cops.
