...

Is he trying to make the argument that the US should control Iran the same way he controls his wife?

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Or control a plane like he controls his life, but either way it ends with "crash and burn".

You have the right to enrichment, but we want an agreement that you don't do it.

What is this semantics stuff? The comparison to his wife works, but the underlying point is nonsense.

He's clearly anti-semantic

Let her skydive

She's pregnant, and apparently wants to keep it. She wouldn't be skydiving anyway. And if she did wanna skydive, he shouldn't wanna stop her, because she's a human being and not his pet.
