  • You speak with both sides of your mouth. Somehow America is preventing Iran from invading Israel while also Iran is a loose cannon that will invade anyway. It’s horseshit. The one who’s going to start a war is Israel. They’re the ones committing genocide and they’re the ones who actually put boots on the ground in other countries while flagrantly violating the Geneva convention. That’s the powder keg the US has enabled and will continue to enable by giving full support to fascist governments. It won’t provide stability or security. All it provides is an absolute liability. And you’re beyond delusional if you think Americans will accede to the Pentagon’s war plans once the bodies start flying in.


  • The actual conviction that a fucking shia state is going to create a hegemony without a belligerent Israel to counterbalance them is laughable. The only reason they get as much support as they do now is because everyone fucking hates us more. Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are plenty to counterbalance Iran when push comes to shove. Though I don’t consider the Saudis much better. Pan Arabisim specifically discounts Persians and they will react to Iran being a significant threat, even if Turkey and Egypt play nice right now.

    The only thing Israel will give the US is a causus beli to go to war with Iran, which is a war the US certainly does not have the conviction to win.











  • You consider a 10 year ban for getting a green card after you get married to be an easy process? Do you believe that most would decide to split their family up for 10 years vs remaining undocumented? You can’t become a citizen until you get a green card and I’ve layed out for you just the hard getting a green card is for someone undocumented. You can’t just get married and become a citizen. Even DACA recipients, who were brought here without their particular consent: if they get married to a citizen over 6 months after they turn 18 they’re going to be banned from re-entry for 3-10 years after they leave. And everyone who’s in the country who wasnt inspected on arrival(meaning they had a visa) cannot receive a green card without leaving first. Marriage is no panacea for the undocumented. For most of them, it’s quite useless.







  • 5 lbs is literally just a hydration and glycogen difference. You tend to have about 5 lbs of glycogen of which each pound is holding 2 lbs of water so 5 lbs is within normal fluctuations. Carb and fat profile of diet and a lack of gluconeogenesis can have you eat the same amount of calories while “losing” weight. Additionally, the amount of salt that you retain from your food can have a significant difference. If you’re going from a high salt diet to a low one, you could expect to lose water weight.
