Agreed on that premise concerning the state of the world. What folks must realize is that nukes could easily end the planet.
However, the use of pathogens, or chemical warfare is less destructive vis a vis infrastructure. Yes, biologicals could also end the planet, but that scenario would be somewhat less likely percentage wise.
On the other hand, 1000 suitcase nukes in the hands of terrorists would devastate any country in hours.
The current conflict isn't just about just nukes, it's also about location, location, location.

He who controls the oil, controls the world.

Well some undocumented migrant workers may be acceptable now is another scam played on us.

Politics is not a game where you get everything that you want. There has probably never been a president who has delivered so much of what his supporters voted for in so short a period of time. And I say that not even being a huge fan of Trump. If you aren't happy with him, who are you going to turn to?

My read on Trump is that he will be OK with smashing stuff in Iran from the air, but that will be about the extent of it. If we destroy Iran's nuclear program, it will be the greatest payoff we have ever received on billions of dollars of support to Israel. They did almost all the work and rolled out the red carpet for us to finish the job. That's a great deal.

As for the illegals, there was never a realistic path to get rid of them all. But the border is closed and they are trying to find the worst of them, which is a heck of an improvement. When all is said and done, we will still have millions of them and the only way to solve that problem is to put them on a path to citizenship, as long as they remain productive and otherwise law abiding. Nobody is enthusiastic about that, but anything else is and always has been a fantasy.

Well in the last 6 months, over 1 million of these shit bags have self deported--and he is in fact rounding up the criminal elements in this group. But now he is stepping up roundup in the sanctuary cities--and this will increase the stampede of self deportations five fold quickly.
