Trump is pleasing his MAGA base by attacking Iran. He wants Iran's oil just as he wants Venezuela's oil. The problem is that Iran is more powerful and much closer to Russia than Venezuela. Consequently, Russia is able to help Iran.

Incorrect. Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship. Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren't equal in talent.

No, Prince Harry exemplifies the qualities of an ideal Democratic candidate. He is young, articulate, has a pretty, intelligent wife and two children, and a war veteran. However, his views would have to be centrist.

Talarico should concentrate on courting Republicans and independents. In a Red state like Texas, his policies have to be not too far to the left.

Climate and energy affordability should be part of Democrats platform, but the economy will always be the top issue.

Trump thought that under massive bombing Iran would surrender. He also thought Iranians would start massive protests against the regime. He envisioned the US involved in producing Iranian oil and making a profit, similar to Venezuela. The problem is Iran is far from the US and Russia and China can exert greater influence.
