+x+xThat was pretty good and pretty much spot on. Having said that if I was American I would have voted Trump over Hillary anyday of the week. Like they say, with these sort of politicians it's best to pick the less of the two evils, and for me that's Trump. We all know they all will work with the elites, regardless of what party, otherwise they wouldn't be in those high positions. I'd much rather a Trump who will make more tax cuts for the rich, over a Hillary who won't help the poor, and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent lives around the world. Hillary will claim she supports refugees into America making herself look so loving, however ignore the fact they've only become refugees because she bombed the fuck out of their countries, and supported the rebels who made them flee their country. Trump is literally doing this as did Obama and Bush. He has increased drone strikes and is bombing 8 different countries. He is arming the Saudi blockade of Yemen. The Saudi's are fighting alongside Al-Qaeda. Hillary didn't bomb those countries, Bush and Obama did and now Trump is but on a larger scale. Can you please list the 8 countries Trump is bombing?

The Saudi's are fighting alongside Al-Qaeda. Hillary didn't bomb those countries, Bush and Obama did and now Trump is but on a larger scale. I can't agree with Saudi Arabia because they've all supported them for so long now, Trump isn't doing anything different, he's just simply ignoring that matter. Hillary had alot to do with the war in Libya it wasn't only Bush and Obama her hands were extremely dirty there. Also while campaigning she clearly stated we need to get rid of Asad ect ect and kept talking bad about Putin too. At no point did she show any signs of creating peace around the world. And let's not forget the rebels she has backed for years and continues to do so are nothing other than extremist terrorist groups. Personally I'm just glad it was Trump because since he's been in ISIS in Syria has been defeated by the help of Putin, and Trump didn't stand in his way to make that mission difficult, something Hillary would have done. I agree with you 100% about Trump turning a blind eye on Saudi but again, that's been the case regardless of who's been in power for years, and like Chomsky said, the elite pull the strings at the end of the day so that issue could be something Trump has no power over if he intends to remain as president. You mentioned Bernie. With him I have no bad words he seemed genuine, but not Hillary. For me if she was ejected she would have been the most evil president America would have had. Her and her husband have nothing but form of one crime after another, and the blood of thousands of innocent people on their hands already. They only bring this up because they need to criticise Trump over anything they can get their grubby hands on. So now they say things like Trump is supporting a tyrannical regime like Saudi Arabia. Well, the truth is that the USA has always supported KSA. Australia also supports KSA. So does the EU. Politics isn’t about making principled decisions. It’s politics. The USA and all its allies support KSA as does the EU because KSA is a natural buffer against Iran, Hessbolah and because it maintains a fulcrum to prevent all out war between Iran and Israel. KSA also supply a huge chunk of our energy needs as well. Its not not an easy thing to stop supporting Saudi Arabia because this will allow Iran to gain the ascendancy and control all of the Middle East. This too would be a disaster for Israel.

Not anywhere near as intelligent as Chomsky who is very intellectual. But both are ideologues all the same. There sre are so many more ideologues on both sides. Its up to consumer to sift through the chaff from the wheat. So, my point is this. You are no different to your mate.

+x+xThe US government is also trying to implement regime change in Iran and Venezuela. This could result in even more war. Trump even tweeted that the US doesn't recognise the Venezuelan President and the US instead recognises the opposition leader. You cannot do that. Just imagine if another random country around the world took a dislike to ScoMo and declared Bill Shorten as Prime Minister. I agree with pretty much everything you're saying but in the case of Venezuela its a bit of a special case. Maduro has done some real dodgy and undemocratic stuff. According to the constitution of Venezuela, the President of the National Assembly should be the president in this situation which is Guiado. What Trump is doing with Iran is perplexing though. Thanks for the info. I never knew that but I knew Maduro was a bit of a dictator. Having said that, it's up to Venezuela to resolve what's going on in their own country and the US shouldn't be meddling in other nations affairs.

+x+x+x+x+x+xNo thanks, I'd rather listen to the world's best political intellectual rather than a psychologist who's a wannabe intellectual. You rather listen to a proper political intellectual than a person who think he is but is just a showman? How daft . Well he stole the floor on Q&A recently and rubbed your faces in it. You have to be pretty ignorant and arrogant to ignore what Jordan says. I don't think I've done across anything he's said which I disagree with because everything he says makes perfect sense. I did agree with alot of what Chomsky said too though, he was pretty spot on, but that clip was the only thing I've seen from him. Jordan says a lot of dumb shit and is ignorant on some of the issues he talks about. He sure is. Watch Sam Harris take him to pieces. Also any evolutionary biologist with half a brain debunks a lot of his talking points. There are plenty of others. People love him though. He ' DESTROYS' SJW's which seems to be a big thing on the interwebs. So I ended up watching the debate which was just under 2 hours. It was Jordan Peterson against Sam Harris with Douglas Murray as host. The one and only question Jordan refused to answer was if he himself believes in religion, however he did state he doesn't go to church. He explains his reasons for not answering but didn't give a simple yes or no. As for every other question thrown at him he answered with ease. I waited for just one example of Sam ripping Jordan to pieces and it never came. Jordan easily won the debate, and besides that Sam made himself look like nothing but a delusional hypocrite. On more than one occasion he got rocked, and not only by Jordan but Douglas himself. Sorry but there's no way I'm putting this guy above Jordan Peterson. Yes he's definitely smart, but clearly not on Jordan's level in my opinion. It was a good debate but to be honest they debated about religion for 2 hours. I expected a range of different topics so I could know Sam's views on things other than religion, but it wasn't the case. I also find it sad, embarrassing, and funny that whenever Sam tried to attack Christianity he simply used examples of other religions to bring up negatives about believing in God.

@Rob
For someone who’s developed an entire cult of personality around fighting the “post-modern neo-marxists” (which is a literal contradiction in terms), it was pretty damning when he admitted that the only Marxist thought he’s read was the Communist manifesto. Zizek made him look like the fraud he is during their debate, I encourage you to watch it.

There is so much more to Peterson than that - free speech, self help, empowering people, liberal values, self esteem and even then I'm still only scratching the surface. The man is a qualified Psychologist so focuses on helping people empower themselves.

His self-help stuff is neither here nor there, I’m not talking about that though. I’m refereeing to his political stances (for which he is most famous and rose to prominence over).
Almost all of his philosophical/political beliefs come from fighting the “neo-Marxism” that he says manifests itself in things like gay-rights, trans-rights, racial and economic equality. It’s pretty embarrassing for a supposed public intellectual to have never even read the most entry-level texts of the philosophy he spends most of the time complaining about.
It’s all a ruse to cash in on the anti-SJW gravy train and he’s dressed it up in pseudo-philosophy so people who listen to him think he’s profound. As he said on Joe Rogan - “I’ve found a way to monetise SJWs”.

Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Yemen and Niger. https://medium.com/@williamhartung55/from-endless-war-to-diplomacy-first-time-for-a-new-foreign-policy-18d9d10ffdf Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan were all wars that were inherited. They were not started by the Trump administration. There was a global war on terror - against ISIL in both Iraq and Syria. And are we or are we not glad that the US and allies dispensed with this terrible organization at least in Iraq and Syria? And to think, that Trump delivered victory over ISIL in Iraq and Syria.

In all honesty in Syria alone, the most credit clearly goes to Putin. Without his help Syria could have been destroyed by now by the terrorist groups. I stand corrected.

+x+x+xThe US government is also trying to implement regime change in Iran and Venezuela. This could result in even more war. Trump even tweeted that the US doesn't recognise the Venezuelan President and the US instead recognises the opposition leader. You cannot do that. Just imagine if another random country around the world took a dislike to ScoMo and declared Bill Shorten as Prime Minister. I agree with pretty much everything you're saying but in the case of Venezuela its a bit of a special case. Maduro has done some real dodgy and undemocratic stuff. According to the constitution of Venezuela, the President of the National Assembly should be the president in this situation which is Guiado. What Trump is doing with Iran is perplexing though. Thanks for the info. I never knew that but I knew Maduro was a bit of a dictator. Having said that, it's up to Venezuela to resolve what's going on in their own country and the US shouldn't be meddling in other nations affairs. Agreed, the last thing that Venezuela needs is a Pinochet. Sanctions and a declaration about the legitimacy of the current regime I think is fine though. Trouble is of course that there's Russia and China meddling on the other side.

+x+x+x+x+x+xThat was pretty good and pretty much spot on. Having said that if I was American I would have voted Trump over Hillary anyday of the week. Like they say, with these sort of politicians it's best to pick the less of the two evils, and for me that's Trump. We all know they all will work with the elites, regardless of what party, otherwise they wouldn't be in those high positions. I'd much rather a Trump who will make more tax cuts for the rich, over a Hillary who won't help the poor, and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent lives around the world. Hillary will claim she supports refugees into America making herself look so loving, however ignore the fact they've only become refugees because she bombed the fuck out of their countries, and supported the rebels who made them flee their country. Trump is literally doing this as did Obama and Bush. He has increased drone strikes and is bombing 8 different countries. He is arming the Saudi blockade of Yemen.

" The US only played a minor role. Most of the credit should be going to the Iraqi, Syrian and Kurdish armies. "I challenge you over Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Yemen and Niger because that is not the case at all. " It is and I have mentioned Yemen many times in this thread already. He had no choice to continue with those wars and finish the mission which was to defeat ISIL in Iraq and Syria - a mission he did complete emphatically. As for Afghanistan, its not as easy as saying we need to withdraw even though that was his policy. The US and coalition had to ensure that Afghanistan has at least some chance of maintaining internal security, otherwise the Taliban will usurp the Government and take over again. And that would not be very good. There is no military action by the US in either Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya or Niger.

+xHis self-help stuff is neither here nor there, I’m not talking about that though. I’m refereeing to his political stances (for which he is most famous and rose to prominence over). Almost all of his philosophical/political beliefs come from fighting the “neo-Marxism” that he says manifests itself in things like gay-rights, trans-rights, racial and economic equality. It’s pretty embarrassing for a supposed public intellectual to have never even read the most entry-level texts of the philosophy he spends most of the time complaining about. It’s all a ruse to cash in on the anti-SJW gravy train and he’s dressed it up in pseudo-philosophy so people who listen to him think he’s profound. As he said on Joe Rogan - “I’ve found a way to monetise SJWs”. No they do not. His political views are very much liberal views, free speech and anti PC which he basically equates to inter-sectional politics and which he claims is the bastion of Marxism politics. that is as far as he goes with that. he is certainly very much against Political Correctness speech, third wave feminism, and inter-sectional identity politics. But his main arena of focus is philosophy, psychology, and self help. If you buy his books, 90% of everything he talks about is how to do better with your personal life, take responsibility and to self improve yourself. This is what his focus is on.

A most balanced post just for merely mentioning the fact that it isn't just the USA that is showing an interest in Venezuela. China and Russia are also meddling for the illegitimate dictator.
