The Iranian Nuclear Program was under constant video surveillance in addition to allowing in person inspections. Now it's not.
To which I responded with this....
Iran formally stopped providing updated nuclear material accountancy reports and access to its nuclear sites, including the location of its enriched uranium stockpiles, in late June 2025. Right after trump bombed their nuclear enrichment sites.
You don't seem to understand the implications of the "formally" in "your" response. It's not hard to tell which sentence you copied and which one is yours.
(Side note: who thought ISIS was a good acronym for an anti nuclear proliferation watchdog group?)

You laid out your reasoning of what led up to this. I gave direct responses that addressed every one of those points. If you would like to get back to what was once a constructive debate rather than baseless, accusatory responses that's fine. If you insist on trying to divert things away from that, that's on you. Although I can't say I would blame you.
Yes, you keep ignoring why Trump bombed their nuclear enrichment sites. The timeline doesn't start with Trump unless you're trying to create a narrative.
You didn't give direct responses that addressed everything, you copied and pasted stuff you don't understand. They don't address the points I've made, and you keep pretending they don't exist as if that makes them go away.
Bottom line: I think making it easier for nuclear material to end up in the hands of terrorists is bad.
You can blame Trump for it, but it was already happening before Trump. Blaming someone trying to stop something that the thing they were trying to stop kept happening and got worse is kind of backwards to me. It was already getting worse. That's why they (officially/allegedly) attacked.
Yes, he didn't stop it. That doesn't mean trying to was the wrong thing. The mess still needs cleaned up. I don't like the "wiping civilizations off the face of the earth" rhetoric, but I'm willing to do a lot to ensure nuclear material stays out of the hands of terrorists.
The they're within their rights BS pisses me off. You don't seem to understand the stakes.
Flanders Field is an incredible tribute to those brave souls who gave up their lives to save ours .... protecting our country, people, and way of live.
Willie, the way I look at it is this way. We've already taken a beating with DW and his contract. Right now, our Browns are in damage control. Keeping DW and playing him, if he's our best option, hurts a lot less than cutting him before the contract is up. None of us may like it but that's the way it is. We've dealt with the embarrassment and ridicule for four years. We've got one more to go so let's try to make the best of it. No other choice.
1. If Watson wins the starting job and earned it then he deserves to be the starter. If your on the 53 then best player plays.
[...]
3. If Watson plays good enough for an extension, then yes.
I agree on all your points, but I do think that just because 1 happens doesn't necessarily mean that 3 will happen. I think the likelihood of 1 happening is FAR higher than 3.
And the question could become, if Monkin doesn't develop some of that "1st round" talent will it be the fault of Monkin for not developing that talent or will it be the talking heads were wrong about their evaluations on some of those picks?
If you eliminate major costs you foresee while working, then things are simpler, so I agree. We have set up savings and investments every pay. We "practiced" budgeting before retirement while we only received one payday a month. We are comfortably set. More than that, we are happy with what we have; my wife is a blessing because we share priorities. The Shaker motto was good advice that smacks of Transcendentalism: "Simplify, simplify." Control what you can.
As I said earlier, simple is the name of the game, especially if you plan on doing most of it yourself. Leave the complicated to the people who can afford personal secretaries, a team of accountants, and lawyers. Complicated takes a mental toll if you plan to do it yourself.
Hope it is better. We shoot 3s a lot. Best shot? Are we good enough to 2 for 20 and not change up the O? We seem to abandon what works, and die with it. I am stumped about who is getting minutes.
888 keeps insisting tax payers don't pay anything for National Parks. Lies are lies even when one doesn't realize one is doing it.
I made an error which I am happy to accept and acknowledge - something most won't do on here. And if anyone was to keep a score of the lies and the misinformation that is spammed on these boards, then one group of posters win by a land slide and it isn't the guys who don't like Trump.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed charges against an ICE agent in connection with the January shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, in Minneapolis.
Christian J. Castro, 52, is facing four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis
The backstory:
The ICE-involved shooting took place near the 600 block of 24th Avenue North just before 7 p.m. on Jan. 14.
Initial reporting detailed federal agents were pursuing a man in a vehicle who had crashed into a snowbank. The man then ran to a nearby home, where a pursuing agent caught up with him and attempted to make an arrest.
An "altercation" between the agent and suspect then ensued, which led to two other people arriving from a nearby apartment, and all three attacking the officer – one armed with a broomstick, according to DHS.
"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," DHS initially claimed.
Julio Sosa-Celis, 24, a Venezuelan national, was taken to the hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, while Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, 26, was also arrested in its aftermath.
Both men were charged with assaulting a federal agent in the aftermath of the altercation, but the DOJ later requested the charges be dismissed with prejudice, writing in a motion that, "newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the complaint affidavit."
Big picture view:
The shooting occurred one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE officers and ten days before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers. ICE agents under federal investigation
Dig deeper:
The U.S. Attorney’s Office later opened a criminal investigation into two ICE officers after video evidence allegedly showed the agents’ sworn testimony included "untruthful statements."
Court filings filed after the shooting showed the ICE officers’ accounts of the moments leading up to the shooting differed significantly from testimony provided by the two defendants and multiple eyewitnesses.
SoS is based on the previous year's results (which itself takes into account it's own SoS), but each team has turned over as much as 25-35% of its roster and 30% of all teams have new head coaches, staffs, and systems.
So, it sounds good, but there really isn't much you can reliably take away from it. It's predicting this year's corn crop based on last year's tomatoes.
According to most on draft day, this guy was massively overdrafted, and supposedly not on any team's radar.
I think this just reinforces that most draftniks & sites just really don't know and that reality is disguised by the ability to pick a lot of low-hanging "no-brainer" fruit in drafts. That said, the same applies to all front offices as well, given how many misses there are each year.
They're making a guess on future performance in one system against higher quality talent based on past performances in other systems against decidedly lower talent.... sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you won't.
