A lot of people might be liking the president's tariff move with Mexico, but I personally hate it. To fix the immigration problem we need a long term strategy. One that fixes Mexico AND fights China at the same time. This article is a good example:

mexiconewsdaily.com/news/chinese-m…
Central Americans would be less inclined to migrate all the way up to the U.S. if they can great manufacturing jobs in Mexico. Mexican wages are lower in Mexico than they are in China. Logistical costs are also lower. Huge incentive for companies to leave China for Mexico.
It would solve our immigration issue AND be a big blow to China. But now these tariffs threaten that. Eliminate the tariffs and work on a deal with Mexico to help incentivize companies in China to relocate. A MUCH better deal to address immigration problems in the long term.

Iran's Navy has absolutely no shot against the U.S. Navy. If a larger conflict occurs it would be IRGC and proxy forces laying mines and small boat swarms on tankers. The goal being to make oil traffic painful via high insurance rates and slower movement. +
I'm actually more interested right now in how Iran's allies react. The U.S. Navy will be bogged down at Hormuz. What then does China do in the South China Sea? What does Russia do in the Black Sea or Med?
Both Russia and China would be provided with a perfect opportunity to see how well the U.S. Navy operates managing multiple theaters at once.

Very high probability the tanker attack was Iranian. Either IRGC or one of their proxies... probably the latter. Their goal isn't to incite war, it's to create the appearance that the U.S., which is the protector of the sea lines, aren't doing their job. +
Iran is effectively peeing on their territory, showing the region/world what they "own" and can do (shut down the strait). U.S. response should be to hinder Iranian proxy forces... kinetic and other. For example, there are signs Iran proxies in Iraq can be turned on each other. +
The timing of this is significant. We're days away from the Mideast Peace Conference. Iraq and Lebanon have declared they will not attend. Both countries have heavy Iranian control and influence... if not outright state proxies at this point. +

When #China Massacred Its Own People - “Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.” nytimes.com/2019/06/01/opi…
Thirty years ago in the spring of 1989, as the world’s most populous country teetered on the edge of freedom, I received a late-night phone call in my apartment in Beijing: The Chinese Army was invading its own capital.
Students made roads impassable by setting up barricades to block the army, so I got on my bicycle & pedaled furiously toward the gunfire. I reached Tiananmen Square shortly before the army & I watched as soldiers fired their automatic weapons directly at the crowd that I was in.

Those who were worried about the tribals of Waziristans were being called Taliban apologists by some people. At that time dissent was not tolerated. Never have i seen opportunists as disgusting as this who are milking both sides of a tragedy. This thread is dedicated to them...
This thread actually deserves a whole ass book. It is a story of 19 years of war. One day i might. But of course that day is very far away and may never come. Till then, we will have these threads.
When US decided to invade Afghanistan, the first one they had to convince was Pakistan Army. They engaged the army on various levels, any American soldier at Brig or Gen level who knew a Pakistani counterpart was asked to get a feel, and this went up to Mush diplomatically

It's a global rank of government corruption. We came 13th #Auspol #DemocracyForSale

2/ Since 2012, we've slipped from 7th to 13th and to be honest, it's not actually that hard to see why...
