Why must Iran cease its attacks and not Israel & US?

β€’ ~3.2M Afghan refugees are currently in Pakistan
β€’ ~3–4M Afghans are estimated to be in Iran
β€’ Afghanistan already has ~6M+ internally displaced people
β€’ Gulf states host ~30M+ migrant workers

If multiple fronts destabilize at once, even small % moving becomes major regional migration event.

For some reason this pisses me off as much as anything else.

For those who may be confused:

β€’Obama forged a nuclear deal with Iran
β€’International inspectors said it was working
β€’Trump hates Obama
β€’Trump blew off the nuclear deal
β€’Trump wants a nuclear deal.
β€’Trump and another monster are bombing Iran for, he says, a nuclear deal

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must ...

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

We are all immigrants, if it is β€˜falling apart’ it is because of the subsequent generations. Out of HS on a MB hydro crew, the safety conscious of the team was a mid-aged ethnic Ukrainian, could not read/write English, but he knew when things could go sideways.

Remember these photos of two infantrymen from Ukraine's 93rd Mechanized Brigade? They defended their position near Kostyantynivka for 130 days and nights without being able to be rotated off the front.

Check out what they look like now.

Well, I have a lot of issues with #PeePee, first off is no security clearance. Until that is fixed, there can be no consideration at all of voting for his party in my riding.

Pls take good care of yourself, Mr Jeff, your loss is still in the recent past.

Any prudent government has to decide where it needs to spend its energies, its political capital, and our money.
Is it prudent to spend any of those things on trying to get a deal with a neoNazi lunatic who’s never honoured a deal in his life and who will always require the unacceptable?

Live in Montreal & I have trouble with the coffee item here - moved back in 2014, buy my coffee from Second Cup in a mix of 2 types of beans, grind for a French press. It was $19.65 in Jan 2016, last week it was $20.43, both 1 lb, well 450 gm. Seems very reasonable over 10 years.

Best place in the world to live - been to 61 countries so far. Easier to list ones I would not live in: Russia, Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria. Could easily live in any of the other 57, except now we add the US to the above 4.

Meanwhile the UK hasn't been able to negotiate a SAFE deal.🀣
I guess Brexit wasn't such a good idea.

Thought AOC made a PR also that she is not attending, so #44.

πŸ”΄ #ShortStory

Once upon a time, there lived a severely unfit and immature leader with no plan to improve Canada.

He lived captive and blinded by his own personal ambitions.

Eventually, some of his MPs got together and said, "F* this shit."
And crossed over to the Liberal Party.

The END.
