I don't think there's a single person on here who wants to go after people not guilty of a crime. 

But in the past being 'too careful' has too often meant no investigation at all. 

Most people want the same carefulness and thoroughness for all people regardless of what they club they are in.

It didn’t make sense that Bari Minutes would release the kind of information taht would implicate the Trump administration until I read the report on the website and they determine the weapon was bought in … drum roll, please … 2024!

If they’d been bought in 2025, Bari would never, ever, ever have released this information.

This was actually a transformative report.  I hope it has the correct impact.  The problem is that tough guys Hegseth and Trump don't think arms control is manly.   They won't proceed with a necessary...very ****ing necessary...arms control effort through public diplomacy.  

If we do somehow manage to put controls on these it would be good for everyone.   You can say what you like about cheating.  The INF and CFE treatys were remarkably effective.   

The current program for these weird tech weapons is the CCW

We need to implement AI weapons controls as well.   Although i'm sure the AI edge lords won't like that.

Investigate? Not with Trump in charge. Any and all investigations are tarnished. This country really needs democrats to sweep the midterms so The Donald can be impeached...after legitimate investigations. But as it is, he has people in charge who are more than willing to bury his crimes. The corruption is very wide spread and total.

I can think of one guy here who might.

Is it better to charge 50 people with 5 being totally innocent or to ignore the 45 who committed crimes? If there really were photos and videos, I'm sure they've all been destroyed by now. After all, Trump says, even though his name appears thousands of times in the files, he's been totally exonerated.

And to think people still wonder why women will choose the bear.

It depends on if there's evidence to charge.

The ****er is on TV bragging about bombing and taking away their electricity and killing people but tell me again about that being the Christian way. He’s rambling in a way that Biden never did but dumb ass saps eat it up as gospel.

They never learn that killing people never changes anything. All you do is leave behind more people who are motivated to do more killing.

The difference between the outcome after WWI and WWII was not because more people were killed more efficiently a generation later, it was because the peace afterward was managed completely differently. 

There are times when there are actors on the international stage that need to be removed, but trying to punish a population by "bombing them into the stone age" as LeMay touted as the solution in Vietnam, is stupid and pointless, not to mention immoral, esp if it doesn't at least create the needed change on the ground (for instance as it did in ex-Yugoslavia).

So the question remains, what did we/will we accomplish by what we destroyed in life and treasure in Iran? It's too soon for that to be immediately clear, but I'm pessimistic it will turn out to be much.
