They wouldn’t even be a plaything, the US would walk in the next day and take it. Why wouldn’t they? No military, no international relations, and a bunch of oil.

The Hobbit movies are the Hobbit, not Lord of the Rings

TFA is the first…

Is it just me or does the headline make it sound like the bull is the one who came out of retirement for this?

Can’t say hair cuts are ever what jumps to mind when I think of North Korea

The only place olives belong are crushed for oil or in the trash

That sounds like it would be the dream actually. Why TF would you want to be a monarch?

Actually we’re talking about it being irrelevant whether the election or the candidate selection are free and fair because, as previous established, the Supreme leader is the one calling the shots

Sources like the fact that Iran openly states that foreign policy is decided by the office of the Supreme Leader? Or that Presidential candidates have to be approved by the (unelected) guardian council? Or do you mean a source for you being an idiot? Sadly I don’t have that

I get my info from plenty of sources, I’m just neither an idiot nor some shill, I hadn’t decided where you fall but if you think the president of Iran is the one calling the shots I’ll go with idiot.

Two things can be true. The Iranian regime is bad. The US regime is bad and started an unjust war.

Also, democratically elected? I must have slept through the last supreme leader elections

Iran doing some good things does not mean that it’s not a bad regime.

So anyone not making minimum wage is fair game for poisoning? Yeah that’s definitely not insane at all

They’re not being scammed money, insurance companies are. They’re just being screwed out of their trip.

You don’t want to climb Everest, congratulations. Do you ever take a vacation? Bring your kids? Money that could have gone towards climbing Everest. I don’t personally get it either, but for plenty of people it’s a life long dream and the fact is you don’t need to be obscenely wealthy to do it. Just because you’ve decided you’re living life by some proper metric doesn’t make you right. If I had a goal like climbing Everest I’d certainly prefer to retire a couple of years later and actually do something in life.

Also if you’re actually making $400,000k+ (which is apparently what top 3% is for the US), maybe don’t be such a miser and help spread some of that around. Pay a local mechanic to work on your car. Hire a maid to clean once in a while

You realize it’s not like only the 1% are climbing Everest? Yes it’s expensive but if it’s a life goal it’s certainly achievable for anyone middle class

The rescues are real though, even if the reason for it is faked.

You can literally see where the Atlantic and Pacific meet at Cape Horn

You can fuck with children, just don’t fuck with gas prices.
