While of course it sucks, that's also an exaggeration because you can meet in basically every other country on earth (other than maybe Israel).

This is the mindset that allows shit like this to be ok. Because...>insert impractical workaround here< is just so easy.

Does the iranian government ban people from leaving the country?

Better question...do you think what you posted is a real solution for most?
 
Does Trump believe the US is the only one that can do this stuff? More and more countries will retaliate and we'll be permanently fucked

the donald and his supporters do not care about international relations

unless of course the countries in question support the donald...

It's incredibly easy saying this kind of shit from a comfy western nation, knowing that none of these things aren't ever going to touch your life personally anyway.

It leads to people not thinking very clearly.
 
It's only been a week man... Why is this shit happening?

Because Trump. Full stop.

He's the single worst export the US has ever had and we're forcing him on the rest of the world.

These days may likely be looked back on as the darkest days in modern US history. That is if this world has any hope of a future whatsoever. Hard to read history books in the dark of a nuclear winter.

Not necessarily.

If this ever happened to my second country of Nigeria for instance, many of my family members still live in poverty. Enough not to be able to afford a gas trip out of the country, not to mention plane.

They've arrested Americans visiting family on suspicion of espionage, families leaving Iran to meet with Americans now would be hugely suspect for them. Would risk jail or worse.

But how would they control that? Do they stop people at the iranian-turkish border for example and question them until they admit they are travelling into the neighbouring country to meet up with relatives from the US?

Oh man I wish we could export, but nope, he's very domestic.
 
when you think about it

it even sucks for people who aren't even really visiting America but want to go from one place to the next and need to go through a US airport to do so

Just take the L and go, man.

Maybe you should just hold the L on this one. It's not a feasible work-around unless you live in a fantasy land.

I wouldn't be surprised if other countries stated following suit.

Donald Trump will go down as the worst president in history. The worst president of presidents.

How is this normalizing? If I was in this situation I would still want to try to see my family while at the same time doing my best to combat the law.
Ah so it's an inconvenience at best. "Don't worry mom and pop, just go to Mumbai and I'll come there. It will be like a mini-vacation". Is that what's in that head of yours?

I'm sure not even Hitler didn't fuck this much shit up in one week.

Uhm,

C'mon.

Trump's unorthodox certainly but at least people know where they stand with him currently so they can start talking about their issues from there.

Hitler gassed people by the train load.

Whilst I'm apprehensive I'm curious to see where this aggressive business like approach goes in a world where politicians traditionally dance around each other wafting metaphorical feathers.

Hitler didn't start gassing people you know?

They wouldn't question. They would arrest and torture out a confession.

What is this nonsense. This also assumes that they have the money to have the family flown somewhere else.

stop.

One of the saddest things is that this literally won't help in any way.

It won't affect terrorism. It wont bring more jobs.

It's literally just a 'fuck you' revenge move to appease "economic anxiety".

China/Mexico should do it as well. Make us regret what Trump has done.
it's a big no go on mexico since they depend so much on mexican americans going to mexico everyday to spend money.

yeah they should all spend money they might not have to go to other countries because dickhead in chief wants to look tough.

Have you considered empathy for oppressed people instead?

stop.

Plus, you need visas and passports to go places.

Good look getting a passport and a visa for Mumbai for 10 people just to see each other
