Iran: Playtime is Over.

[Zavulon]

First off, you are a Jew is your mother was a Jew but for allyah you are only a Jew if your mother was Jewish or you converted. Even if you wee Jewish, allyah is an opportunity, not a right. Even if you were a rabbi who can trace your roots back to ancient times, if you are considered an undesirable person, you will not have a right to return.

Actually, no. Just read the law.

Israeli citizenship by descent | WRAI

What family ties do you need to have in order to qualify for an Israeli citizenship by descent? List of documents for repatriation through proof of Jewish ancestry.

Some of my relatives, who had Jewish father and Ukrainian mother (as myself) successfully obtained Israeli citizenship. Yes, they are not Jews by Israel law (quite stupid thing, if you ask me, because most of Ashkenazi Jews had European mtDNA), but they are "children of Jews".

Why should Hormuz be opened?

The EU needs the oil.

You think opening Hormuz will stop overdoses?

no

Russia and China are helping Iran with satellite recon info, and this is why US ship don't dare to came close to Iranian shores.

You also posted that. someone is giving Iran shoulder fired anti-aircraft weapons.

I don't think that democrats actually loves this shit (no sane person actually do). It's because your police is terribly underfunded.

Democrats want to "defund the police". So democrats are not sane, they have terrible approval numbers.

If you do it, it's only because your government don't do it. And, in Russia, if you served more than 6 years, government buy you a house.

nice.

When our family, poor refugees from Kazakhstan, came in Moscow, my Mom bought a TV to a decent school, and in this school I've studied English and French (say nothing about Chemistry, Physics, Maths, other subjects and initial military training) for free. How good are your grandchildren with foreign languages and natural sciences? As far as I know, even best American schools are worse than just good schools in Russia, and poor smart kids has quite elusive chance to get a decent education.

No foreign languages, but very advanced in math, the sciences and the arts, piano, acting/plays, the classics.
I think you are referring more to urban public schools.
Outside the cities we have very good schools, or private schools in the cities are also very good.
Here is a high-school orchestra, amazing.

It's a fiction movie. And a top general living in Northern Chertanovo is even more fictional thing, than an arrived alien spaceship. You can watch some videos of search in top general mansions at YouTube.

LOL

You can live however you want if you have money anywhere. The problem is to earn that money. And, from my own experience, as well as from experience of my friends and relatives, the modern USA is quite poor place to earn decent money even if you are a smart guy and ready to work hard or to earn good living standards with just medium incomes.

It takes two good incomes to live comfortably here.

I am not an authority so I don't know if things have changed but it was (still is?) necessary to convert to orthodox Judaism in order to be accepted as a repatriate.

 

[GLASNOST]

Why should Hormuz be opened?

The EU needs the oil.

Of couse we do. But let's tell the truth here:

1). We aided either the destruction of the NordStream pipline or we are actively instrumental in covering up the facts behind it. You are aware that we were being provided with oil through that pipeline?
2). We are members and support NATO and the EU, both of which are ignoring the plight of Iran and its concern for the genicide of the Palestinian people.
3). We fund the Nazi regime of Ukraine which is more of punsihing Russia (without legitimate reason) than giving a shit about Ukraine.

BOTTOM LINE
1). Closure of Hormuz is our own fault.
2). We can negociate to have Hormuz reopened ..... but we refuse to do it.

I am not an authority so I don't know if things have changed but it was (still is?) necessary to convert to orthodox Judaism in order to be accepted as a repatriate.

It's enough to be a child or grandchild of a Jew (and Atheists) to earn Israel's citizenship.

No-no-no. We are talking about conversions right now. Conversions.

Yes. And not only it. But let it be a surprise.

Democrats want to "defund the police". So democrats are not sane, they have terrible approval numbers.

I thought they want to defund police because they don't have enough money. America is quite poor country if we are talking about public services. May be not poor, but poorly managed. And Republicans are not better than Democrats.

nice.

It's normal. It's what any adequate state should do. When you have homeless veterans in numbers - it's really bad sign. Fidelity should be mutual. If the country doesn't care about soldiers - soldiers won't be loyal to the country.

No foreign languages, but very advanced in math, the sciences and the arts, piano, acting/plays, the classics.

Education without foreign languages at all? Not even other Romano-German languages?
And you are satisfied with that quality of life?
Ok. How much money would it take to teach an English-speaking boy, say, Chinese language, to even my poor level of English?

What about initial military training? I mean orchestra was nice, but what they will do, when the enemies eventually came on American soil? Sing them a song?

How many American schools have analogue of our Zarnitza (The Lightning Storm) games?





Next question - do they have LGBT-propaganda and MJ selling points nearby the school?

LOL

It takes two good incomes to live comfortably here.

It mostly depends on your definition of the word "comfortably". I think, that a person can't be really comfortable, if its children have to visit an American school.

 

[BS Filter]

As if smartasses believe Israel or the USA.


It's simply not true. Iran didn't start an aggressive war in all those years from the Revolution.

That's a lie. You're a liar, plain and simple. Bye.

I thought they want to defund police because they don't have enough money. America is quite poor country if we are talking about public services. May be not poor, but poorly managed. And Republicans are not better than Democrats.

The US has 3 basic levels of government. Federal, state, and local. Federal and state governments are generally well funded, except democrat run cities and states are usually poorly run and trying to save money by implementing leftist policies.

It's normal. It's what any adequate state should do. When you have homeless veterans in numbers - it's really bad sign. Fidelity should be mutual. If the country doesn't care about soldiers - soldiers won't be loyal to the country.

We give generous military pensions after 20-years, then they can go out and earn a regular living.

Education without foreign languages at all? Not even other Romano-German languages? And you are satisfied with that quality of life?

About 14% of the US speak Spanish. Other than that there is just no need to learn a foreign language especially when iPhones can translate any language.

Ok. How much money would it take to teach an English-speaking boy, say, Chinese language, to even my poor level of English?

Too much. There is just no interest, nor anywhere to use it. If you don't use it you lose it. I took Spanish in High School and Russian in college but haven't spoken either since.

What about initial military training? I mean orchestra was nice, but what they will do, when the enemies eventually came on American soil? Sing them a song?

We have many millions of well armed hunters, young and old.

How many American schools have analogue of our Zarnitza (The Lightning Storm) games?

None that I know of.

Next question - do they have LGBT-propaganda and MJ selling points nearby the school?

Yes.

It mostly depends on your definition of the word "comfortably". I think, that a person can't be really comfortable, if its children have to visit an American school.

You mean a free US Public School, I agree.

Most young Americans aren't even raising families any more. Its just unaffordable.

 

[toobfreak]

Something like:

Nope, nothing like.

More like Iran is getting its butt handed to it, and we are not even using 10% of our military force we could be using, preferring to try to save Iran from total destruction.

 

[Zavulon]

That's a lie. You're a liar, plain and simple. Bye.

Just name even one aggressive war, started by Iran since the Revolution.

 

[kyzr]

Just name even one aggressive war, started by Iran since the Revolution.

Its not the wars, its the terrorism, and their support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

 

[GLASNOST]

... their support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

Is that a problem for you?

 

[kyzr]

Is that a problem for you?

Terrorism is a problem, sooner or later it gets to you...

 

[Zavulon]

The US has 3 basic levels of government. Federal, state, and local.

So has Russia. But here in Russia we don't have state's guards and local police. Every policeman is a federal serviceman. That allow better level of safety for people.

Federal and state governments are generally well funded, except democrat run cities and states are usually poorly run and trying to save money by implementing leftist policies.

One of the main problems with the USA (as for me) is that formally it's a federation, but de facto it's a confederation, with almost independent states and even local communities.

We give generous military pensions after 20-years, then they can go out and earn a regular living.

But you don't buy them houses and don't give jobs, do you?

About 14% of the US speak Spanish. Other than that there is just no need to learn a foreign language especially when iPhones can translate any language.

Oh, how wrong you are. First of all, knowledge of foreign languages gives you totally different perspective. You see things in the very different way. Second, you can protect your mind from governmental propaganda. And third, proper translation is impossible, both by human or machine.

Too much. There is just no interest, nor anywhere to use it. If you don't use it you lose it. I took Spanish in High School and Russian in college but haven't spoken either since.

One of the reasons I visit this site.

We have many millions of well armed hunters, young and old.

Being a hunter and being a soldier are two absolutely different things.

Yes.

Yes, it's true. That is the whole point. I know you have heard the expression "fight fire with fire" and "what goes around, comes around." Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are giving Israel and the US a taste of their own medicine. So, if terrorism is a problem for you then it would be much wiser to criticise the root of the problem, not the consequnces of it. Iran is on the side of "the good guys". Iran itself is "the good guy".

 

[kyzr]

So has Russia. But here in Russia we don't have state's guards and local police. Every policeman is a federal serviceman. That allow better level of safety for people.

Probably true. Trump put troops in high crime cities to help the police, and the crime rates dropped significantly.

One of the main problems with the USA (as for me) is that formally it's a federation, but de facto it's a confederation, with almost independent states and even local communities.

True. We have cities and states that sometime object to Federal laws. Like when Texas closed the border despite Biden's open border policy, and democrat cities don't help deport illegals, calling themselves "sanctuary cities/states".

But you don't buy them houses and don't give jobs, do you?

No. Just a pension.

Oh, how wrong you are. First of all, knowledge of foreign languages gives you totally different perspective. You see things in the very different way. Second, you can protect your mind from governmental propaganda. And third, proper translation is impossible, both by human or machine.

I never hear a foreign language.

One of the reasons I visit this site.

Thank you. We disagree but always have good debates.

Being a hunter and being a soldier are two absolutely different things.

Hunting skills translate to military skills.

Even best American schools seems to be worse than normal Russian public schools.

Not true. The public schools here in the US can vary a lot in quality depending upon who is running the "School Board".
School Boards can push horrible policies, or they can run a fantastic school. School Boards are elected.
It sounds like Russian schools are like the schools when I attended, we had IQ tests, a lot of standardized tests, and focused on STEM subjects, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
Today some US schools focus too much on less technical "social engineering" nonsense, like "equity", with slogans like "math is racist". At NYU students got an organic chemistry professor fired because he was too demanding.

And you still tell us about how good is life in the USA.

Life is good, but you need to make smart "life choices", especially regarding budgets and lifestyles.

Life is good, especially if you never saw an alternative. I mean, with all those virtual ones and zeros in bank computers, the actual access to the public goods - safety, medicine, education in Russia is a way better than in the USA. And it's not because you don't make right choices at elections. It mostly because you don't understand what exactly do you need and how exactly, as community, you can achieve it. One of the reasons - you don't study the experience (both negative and positive) of other countries.
