And I wonder if this rejoinder will appear in Arabic-language newspapers tomorrow? How many in the ME will hear this news? Or will they just hear what Assad said and just blame the US?

I wonder if John Mearsheimer's 'Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying In International Politics' has something to say about it. And once again, the ME is being fed lies by their local shit media.

To pander to you ill give you the first, trump really said "i hope you can let this go," the president is free to fire the Director of the FBI even if he has no "valid" reason. Here is a source i know you trust:

http://www.newsweek.com/can-president-fire-fbi-director-trump-comey-594716

and again there is nothing illegal about firing the director of the FBI even during a pending investigation...you will find ZERO evidence of that


instead i recommend you reading a good book that will help you understand why leaders lie and it might help with your level of sensitivity

I recommend Why leaders lie. The truth about international politics.

It's a great, fast read from insiders that talk about how leaders, to each other, privately, are brutality honest. It's only to their people, to drum up support, or continue a narrative, etc, do they lie.

It's why Israel and Saudi Arabia can have financial and even intelligence cooperation while publicly condemning each other.

It's why the US and Russia can "hate" each other. While working in the UN and with space programs and on intel sharing against various entities.

His headline is the same as the one he's posting, he's not really fear mongering, just repeating but that does encourage fear mongering by others.

Fear mongering is when a potential threat is exaggerated without the audiences awareness. Pretty good book that explores fearmongering, quite brief as well,

copy paste reply:

Read this book because my argument is pretty much straight out of it. You're calling me delusion when I'm just repeating the information I gained from reading this book written by an expert. You may disagree with what I say, but calling me delusion is just proving me right when I said that you guys throw a temper tantrum and start name calling whenever somebody doesn't agree with you.
