Sure, if 'Iranian' was only the description of their race and not also one for their countrymen/government (people do this a lot, I'm sure you've come across people talking badly about "Americans" or "Russians" in the same vein), I guess that would be similar to your 'Jews' example. Reaching a bit far to jab her with racism with that, to be honest. A minor part of your post, but was one that made me raise an eyebrow. Frankly, she's so beyond simple racism as to render this discussion moot. Even Hitler didn't cheer like a child after his political enemies were murdered. She makes Trump look balanced and reasonable, and frankly, his foreign policy (such as it exists, I don't think he's very versed in international politics at all), makes more sense than hers does.

Aren't identity politics wonderful? Admittedly, none of if it trumps a horse in the senate, so the US still has a ways to go.

That's the most bizarre rationale I've ever heard. A candidate should be elected based on gender? What a triumph of ideology and stupidity over politics. Besides, she's barely human, let alone female.

With decent politics all the numbers could have been 0's.

But why would anyone vote for Hillary, even compared to the other democratic candidates

Everyone's making far too much fuss over Trump. Even if he wins, the president is just the public face of the government - he's by no means the sole decision maker, maybe not even the most relevant one at that. And Trump, as a businessman and a millionaire is certainly not going to rock the boat in any significant way. He's just using strong rhetoric as an election strategy, to set himself apart from the other candidates.

The best measure of any society is how it treats its most impoverished and weakest members. That things such as free health care and education (and I don't mean any, but the absolute best that society can afford) are even a matter of debate in the US is a sufficient reason it should never speak of human rights in other countries.

Deliberately obtuse or just uninformed? Neither, he is right. Gaddafi was captured hiding in some drain and then killed by his captives a short time later....he got what he deserved. And this was the Libyan rebels....not the West who killed him When you arm, finance and offer intelligence, air and electric communication support to people that did the deed can you really say that you weren't involved? Sure if that was what supported the Arab Spring you would be right....but the West didn't arm, finance or initially support the Arab Spring. It was an ideological movement created and spread by Muslims who wanted a more equitable society in many countries in the North Africa and the ME who were tired of being ruled by families or dictators for decades But Libya's rebels were armed and supported by west in their effort to depose Gaddafi. Even if rebellion itself was not started by west, said rebellion would have most likely failed without help from west. So it is quite dubious to say that west didn't play part in Gaddafi's death. Let take hypothetical and badly fitting metaphor to give an example that resembles situation distantly. Person has been beaten and otherwise subjugated by thier spouse and then they plan to get revenge against said spouse and ask help from their neighbor who then provides them a gun, and then goes and strikes said spouse unconscious and then leaves said person with a gun to sort things out with their unconscious spouse, who then shoot their spouse. Would you say that neighbor in question is innocent and didn't partake in said murder anyway, because said person was already planning to murder their spouse? The "rebels" only existed in the first place because of outside encouragement and support. Even Lenin had to get a wagon of German gold to make the revolution happen, and that was in a state that was disintegrating. There is no such thing as "popular protests", every protest has to be organized and the organizers, if not the rabble on the street, do it for a purpose. But this is known to anyone who knows anything about politics. And utterly besides my original point, which was that Hillary Clinton is a monster. She's a monster because she doesn't even realize how casually evil she is - as is evident from the video. Basic lack of empathy is a trait of psychopaths.

Deliberately obtuse or just uninformed?

You realize that Clinton is still the heavy odds on favorite right? Clinton 8/11 Trump 5/2 Rubio 13/2 Sanders 12/1 If America picks this: Then they might as well nominate the next candidate straight out of hell Why did you like Gaddafi? You know he was a brutal dictator who ruled his country for 40 years and didn't have ONE Democratic election Facts about Libya under Gaddafi that you probably did not know Facts you probably do not know about Libya under Muammar Gaddafi: • There are no electricity bills in Libya; electricity is free … for all its citizens. • There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law. • If a Libyan is unable to find employment after graduation, the state pays the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found. • Should Libyans want to take up a farming career, they receive farm land, a house, equipment, seed and livestock to kick start their farms – all for free. • Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country. • A home considered a human right in Libya. (In Qaddafi’s Green Book it states: “The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others.”) • All newlyweds in Libya receive 60,000 Dinar (US$ 50,000 ) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start a family. • A portion of Libyan oil sales is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens. • A mother who gives birth to a child receives US $5,000. • When a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidizes 50% of the price. • The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter. • For $ 0.15, a Libyan local can purchase 40 loaves of bread. • Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Libya can boast one of the finest health care systems in the Arab and African World. All people have access to doctors, hospitals, clinics and medicines, completely free of charge. • If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US $2,300/month accommodation and car allowance. • 25% of Libyans have a university degree. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. Today the figure is 87%. • Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – though much of this is now frozen globally. I know that some of these things are true, the rest I can't confirm. Do you have even a quarter of this? So pls, switch channels from CNN sometime mmkay? Finally:

You realize that Clinton is still the heavy odds on favorite right? Clinton 8/11 Trump 5/2 Rubio 13/2 Sanders 12/1 If America picks this: Then they might as well nominate the next candidate straight out of hell

I think this election is going to be about voting for or against trump, not even "for" the other guy.

No. I'm 0% Hitler. That means I'm 100% Hitler free. I don't even, i mean come on! You have to want to invade Poland. It's the current year! Debates sure are fun: He walked into that one soooooo badly

So many people have invaded Poland that if Hitler had a steam profile he wouldn't have even received an achievement for it.

I got 24%, so I must be mini-me from Austin Powers

Goddamn it. Basically anyone from Europe is likely to get Sanders on the top since he's the sole candidate that resembles European politics. That said: Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. I just have to see that whale in the White House. It will be even more glorious than Bush

Homeworld 3, Alpha Centauri 2. Remakes if not sequels so I can at least enjoy upgraded graphics. SM Beyond Earth was a disgrace.

Sweden is beyond salvation:

Getting them is one thing, getting to use them is another. There are so many American bases in the region they could wipe Saudi Arabia off the map in 24 hours probably. Especially if you take into consideration that its another non-state held together by little more than a couple of dozen individuals.

They're just trying to disperse a bit them to get Calais out of the media and pass the hot potato to some other unlucky locals. Its possibly even worse, because in Calais its blatant how much of a problem it actually is, if they do disperse among other French cities its just going to contribute to crime and disorder in an even fashion so there will be no obligation to report on it and the politicians can keep on pretending that everything is fine.

Come the next electoral cycle (if this thing doesn't implode before that) you will find that reports of European civility have been greatly exaggerated. Now if this does in fact go on, I'll have to agree with your eurocuck assessment. :D

The lack of response to these, now, daily occurrences is incredible. I was against this from the start, but even I'm surprised that even asylum workers are being raped... or killed like that girl in Sweden. I was regularly accused of being prejudiced on this forum ... or a racist, or even a fascist. Now that the outcome is even worse than I foresaw it - well? Where are the usual SJW suspects?

I dunno, the wiki is a bit bizarre. It says they have 150 000 troops on the ground and only 81 casualties since March last year. So that's either the laziest war ever considering the weekly traffic casualty numbers of Monaco are probably higher than that, or the stats are bull****. *Original source of 150 000 is CNN quoting KSA officials so that's worth about as much a booger.

Most of the troops will likely be mercenaries of some sort. The Saudis are ****ty troops but the US has been wringing their arm for decades to buy the best military gear available. So they have quite a bit tech wise. Control of air space is going to be the key here. If they really want to support Al Nusra and the rest of them they have to do it in the same space that the Russians are using. Its the only way to swing the war the other way. As its highly unlikely that the opposing air forces are just going to ignore each other while they pound on ground troops and positions they will (eventually) have to fight the Russians to get anywhere. As the Saudis will use a NATO base in Turkey (one with tactical nuclear weapons btw) what they're probably hoping for is to do their "work" and run for (NATO) cover. We'll see just how that goes for them.
