You should know this because one of the reasons Trump’s been trying to use to justify this war is that Iran never said they wouldn’t pursue nuclear weapons.

You could say the fatwa is just talk but there’s a strategic argument for Iran to not get nuclear weapons besides the moral case. Iran doesn’t want to get nukes and become a pariah state like North Korea and cut itself off from global trade, they’re a Petro state they need trade. At the same time they don’t want Israel and the US to be able to bomb them with impunity. So their best strategy is to remain close to building a bomb, that way they can get sanctions relief while being able to dash for a bomb and nuclear deterrence in the case of a war.

    The idea of the “melting pot” was created by a Khazar from what I’m aware of (though I could be wrong), and comes from a play that basically calls for this concept to be enforced. That’s why, in 1965, immigration (unlawful invasion) was encouraged by the US government (due to Jesuit deception, which was a thing since they took over the world in 1798).

      I’m sure we didn’t. We just needed a lot of people to work underground in the coal mines and in the heavy industry, steel etc. And those were labor intensive jobs, so they needed to attract a lot of workforce. In a coordinated effort, sure. But out of economic motivation. These people ended up working hard jobs alongside each other. And they built and shaped the region. Made it rich. And I got born into that kind if place. With some history to it and a bit less ethnic uniform population. But there’s no evidence they read some old scripture from nomadic people and thought yes, that what we need to enforce… Instead people found out there’s a lot of coal underneath their feet. And they found out the more they dig up and sell to other people, the more wealth they get. The workers wanted to have a roof over their heads and something to eat for themselves and their families. I think that’s very straightforward, and my ancestors were clever enough to figure out how trade works, on their own. I’m not aware of any evidence of a different origin story for my region. Sure. Maybe we didn’t invent the word for it. But the motivation and decisions of the feudal lords, company owners and employers, and the government is well documented.

      And concerning America: Isn’t that a melting pot because all the Europeans went there? In order to seek opportunity, or not to die of famine? And some Africans got there as well and we all know how much say they had in that process? I mean obviously North America is a melting pot. Otherwise we’d find Native Americans there and Aboriginal Canadians, not a load of people with European decent. But that doesn’t have anything to do with 1965?
