It’s because their religion has taught them to trust religious leaders without question. They have faith that the church knows what is best for them and their community. They tend to not use critical thinking when it comes to religious matters.
People often have a similar faith in their parents judgement. If Mom or Dad asks them to do something that seems foolish, many people will still do it simply because of the unquestioning trust they have for their parents.
With Trump, every accusation is a confession.
Not a scientist, but I am wondering if maybe beryllium could be found naturally in the soil?
Another thought: Wikipedia says that the gemstones emerald and aquamarine contain beryllium. Thousands of houses were burned in the fire. Maybe the source is burned gemstones in the houses?
From my perspective, he’s still salty about her making fun of him back in the 90s on her daily TV talk show. He made it worse by not letting it go and taking out full page ads in the New York Times in response. She would then show the ads to the audience and read it on the air. Then she would make new jokes about what a giant man-baby he was.
That was enough to convince me, then, that Donald Trump was not a good person. That was about 25 years ago. I have not changed my mind about him. In fact, I dislike him much more now than I did then. It astounds me that anyone voted for that moron.
Switching sides? Donald Trump has never had any real interest in helping Ukraine. That was true the first time he was president. This is not new.
Perhaps. But if Iran was the source, and that source was incorrect, the response would probably not be to claim that someone on the US side was leaking classified information.
In bitching about leaks in his administration, Trump confirmed that the sites were, indeed, not completely destroyed.
This is the kind of thing where it is only believable until someone goes outside and looks at what happened, then the story falls apart.
It’s Iran, and a nuclear site, and the location of a recent military attack, so I am under no illusions that this information would be trivial to obtain, but I really doubt Iran would have any interest in promoting Trump’s lie. I would also expect Iran to be more than happy to announce “You Missed.”
Leaked information or straight from ground zero doesn’t really matter. How did Trump expect this sort of thing to stay quiet? No-one outside of the US would feel even slightly compelled to comply with his narrative.
Even for Trump this is stupid.
If you look at this from Turnip’s point of view, it’s about both profit and stalling or stopping any lawsuits related to these chemicals. A personal injury lawsuit is more difficult to prove if the use of those chemicals is not banned. It’s about selfishness and helping his wealthy friends who will now owe him a favor.
If we assume that this is a move for Putin against NATO, the US taking control of Greenland could result in Russia gaining a naval staging area to attack Europe.
