Comments: Haaland scores 4 minute into EPL league's first game of the season
Comments: Zinsky: My uncle tried almost the same thing like your PhD relative after couple of years was forced out by someone like your relative with high school diploma connected to Sepah. This was a while back not sure how much sanction was there but not sure if that mattered
Comments: I don't know for sure if it helps people. I can't predict the future. I know it has been hurting the people for a long time. It has also given the system a perfect excuse to blame everything on sanctions. I know we need to stick with our beliefs and anything else is considered admitting you were not perfect but what I can see is that sanctions have not done what we were hoping they do. IRI has been under one form of sanctions or another for 40+ years. They are still around destroying the country. They have become richer and richer while the average person has gotten poorer and more desperate. I give you two examples. They might not satisfy your thinking and that is perfectly fine. I have two family members. One is connected with the system and the other is an average citizen. The 1st one has a high school diploma and used to fix electronics in the back of someone's shop. He got connected with a bache Mollah and somehow got a contract to work on the Airport's electric system. Fast forward to today, he lives like a king. When I talked to him last time I was back home, he said, without sanctions, and with possible equipment shipped directly from overseas (Euro or USA) legally, he couldn't smuggle them in, and sell them to other contractors for 500+% profit. The 2nd one is a PHD who works for a company, teaches classes in university and does odd jobs here and there to be able to buy a 50-meter apartment. He does understand the role the government plays in economy and how they are fully miss manage the money they have but still tells me that during few months that the nuclear deal was announced and implemented, he felt hope. He was given an assignment with decent amount of money by a European company to set up an office in Tehran and start hiring some staff. He actually rented an office space and hired 3 of his graduate students to set up the computers and the rest. It all dies after the deal fell apart. Can I predict how it would have gone if the deal would have not been killed? I can't. I only know what it was for a short time for this guy.
Comments: Zinsky, when I debate with Shahin about Biden or his foreign policy, I am criticizing a policy of America. I do not get labeled "Amrika Setiz" or anything like that. There is a reason for it. Because it is about the Western values and standards we are thankful for. My son for example born here sees himself as a pure American, as American as any other American citizen. Maybe our attitude about is America is different because most of us came abroad at teenage age. But yes at least to my eyes this is the greatest country, I am so thankful for all the opportunities this country provided for me, my family, and my children. As someone at an executive management position in a fortume 100 company, my company does not see me as a stranger, I have white Americans reporting to me with some calling using terms like "Yes Sir" and I have to tell them dont call me that... On top of America, I also find California the Final Frontier. Yes it is expensive, but still ideal place to live. I cannot even live in any other state as I am so used to it. I travel a lot. Spent lots of times in European countries specially Scandinivia. In terms of social justice, even social medicine I find California ahead of them. Yes free education is lagging here but then we are not paying 55% tax or anything. In terms of recism, I see more of it in europe than even in Louisville, Ky where I grew up and went to high school to. It is a great country, and I cannot be more thankful for all the opportunities it provided for me. USA was a platform of success for me, but it was all up to me. I blended very well with this society. And my children cherish that.
Comments: MAGA thing was a joke lighten up. I like Sagan he is a smart dude
Comments: Zinsk, this is a serious question. Based on even what you said, why do you think lifting sanctions will help poor people in Iran?
Comments: Once again, the question is not if they are stealing the money. That is proven beyond a shadow of doubt.
Comments: I was expecting the other admin to jump in and defend America first. What he said was not to put down America. I didn't post it to put down America. Unfortunately, any comment about America other than it's the best country in the world is taken as an insult to America, particularity in this group. There are GREAT things about America. There are also stuff that are not. It is perfectly fine to talk about both. I, personally, want America to improve and get even better than it is for my kids and possible grandkids. The only way that would happen is to see the country as is. All the good and all the not so good. Keep the good and improve the rest.
Comments: Remove sanctions on these guys and you will see what happens
Comments: Sagan was a MAGA? Kidding aside, these super smart guys are idealists and people listen to them. Good for him warning the world. Almost 30 years later, America is still here and we are still living in it. World also has changed and technology has changed. If you have access to broadband, you can do a lot
Comments: Back in 1995 this was said. 
Comments: What I like about this site is that it is not a damet garm club. Even when 3 of us meet in person we constantly argue and challenge each other mostly in good humor. We have learned a lot from each other whether politics, football, dealing with our kids and general life
Comments: Kane is at Munich Airport and Taremi is calling an Uber to the airport
Comments: Congrats Bardia. Maguire is going to West Ham for 30M
