The old two fences of razor wires with minefields in between should be popular, after all the Commies liked it, and if they did the current crop of MSM and Democrats should just love it. Don't forget the border between the US and Canada. Moose bites are dangerous.

But appeals court ruled that law did not apply outside of US territory
Except....United States v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655 (1992), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the fact of respondent's forcible abduction does not prohibit his trial in a United States court for violations of this country's criminal laws. It re-confirmed the Ker-Frisbie Doctrine established in Ker v. Illinois (1886) and Frisbie v. Collins (1952).
Case involved a Mexican doctor who assisted in the torture of a federal agent in Mexico.

re: #3 "Moose bites are danhgerous". Believe me that you do NOT want to face an angry moose, especially an angry bull moose who thinks you might be competing with him for a lady moose. Been there, ran REALLY fast!
[ToloNews] Members of the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... 's office in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... said that the group and the US have reached an agreement in which "5,000 Taliban prisoners from Afghan government prisons will be released, and 1,000 government forces prisoners will be released by the Taliban" before intra-Afghan talks begin.
But in response, a Presidential Palace front man said that the release of Taliban prisoners during the Afghan talks will be one of the most important discussions, but it is not possible to release them before the talks between Afghans.
"When we, as the government of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan, enter into negotiations with the Taliban and demand the release of their prisoners, it will naturally be discussed, and will take into account the laws and interests of our people and will be based on the consensus that will arise at that stage," said Sediq Sediqqi, President Ghani’s front man.
Politicians who have recently met with Zalmay Khalilzad say a meeting regarding the release of prisoners between the Afghan government and the Taliban was set to take place in Geneva within the next few days, but the Afghan government has not wanted to talk to the Taliban before talks begin between Afghans.
"A meeting was scheduled to be held in Geneva about the release, which is not taking place now," said Haji Din Mohammad, leader of the Peace and Development Party.
On the other hand, Mawlana Jalaluddin Shinwari, the former attorney general during the Taliban regime, said that if the process of releasing Taliban prisoners does not begin before the talks between Afghans, the process will face deadlock.
"If prisoners are not released, and the intra-Afghan dialogue is centered on the 'Presidential Palace,' I do not think the talks will begin, said Shinwari.
US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has recently had two meetings with President Ghani, and unlike previous meetings with the US Special Envoy, the Presidential Palace is now accepting a significant reduction in violence preceding intra-Afghan talks, rather than insisting on a ceasefire.
"There is no doubt that the announcement of the election results has created an understanding between the US and the government about the grinding of the peace processor," said Ahmadullah Alizai, a political analyst.
[KhaamaPress] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has given anti-aircraft missiles to Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... group amid soaring tensions between Washington and Tehran over regional issues that led to the killing of a top Iranian general in Iraq few weeks ago.
Reports regarding the delivery of anti-aircraft missiles to Taliban by Iran emerge as numerous Afghan and American planes faced crashes, hard-landings and emergency landings in the restive parts of the country.
While no definitive proof exists in this regard, the acting police chief of Uruzgan Sardar Mohammad Haya has told Radio Free Afghanistan "Iran has given the Taliban anti-aircraft missiles so that they can better target our aircrafts."
Hayar further added "Numerous [recent] intelligence reports based on various sources detail this support."
This comes as Washington has repeatedly been accusing Iran of supporting the bully boy groups in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
"Iran provides a range of financial, political, training and material support to groups which would include Hezbollah, Iraqi Shia bully boy groups, the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... , some Paleostinian groups, the Taliban and Bahraini Shia bully boys," the Department of Defense said in a statement late in November last year.

It's like two psychotic bitch sisters who once they've got their fangs in your life will not let go.
Any 'deal with the taliban' is an ignominious surrender in the eyes of the sasquatch. The better option is to pack up and leave without any explanation, bombarding Af with flyers that say "FUCK THIS !"

If we leave without a treaty, we need to bomb all the known training camps and winter quarters to rubble on the way out. If we leave with a treaty, but they treat it like a hudna and go back to business as usual as soon as we’re out of sight, we need to come back just to bomb all the known training camps and winter quarters to rubble. If the ones we sign a treaty with actually abide by it, but any of the other groups in theater continue acting up, we need to come back just to bomb all the known training camps and winter quarters to rubble to encourage the signers to keep everyone else in line. And somewhere along the way the ISI needs to have a complete computer meltdown — but only after we’ve copied all their files and shared them with those who would be interested.

[JPost] As the citizens of Iran flocked to the voting booths, the Iranian economy took a painful hit on Friday at the conclusion of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) plenary, when the organization decided to return Iran to the 'blacklist' of countries involved in bankrolling and financing terror.
The result: More than 200 member nations and territories will comply with FATF sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
The ban will likely end talks between Iran and the European Union about exploiting the INSTEX vehicle for promoting trade in a way that circumvents United States sanctions.
Furthermore, it will more generally widen the expanding chasm between Tehran and the EU, pushing Europe closer to the US in the standoff.
The FATF moved the Islamic Republic from a blacklist to a sort of gray-list in 2016, which meant much greater access to the international banking system, but a ticking clock to come into compliance with anti-terrorism financial measures.
In addition to re-blacklisting Iran, a large number of new countries entered the gray-list of non-compliant countries, from which Iran has just been ousted, including Albania, Barbados, Jamaica, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nicaragua and Uganda. Trinidad and Tobago was the only country te be taken off of the gray-list without landing in the blacklist.
Pakistan won an extra four months to meet international anti-terrorism financing norms, as the FATF decided to keep it on the gray-list for now despite missing recent deadlines to comply with their own internationally agreed-upon deals.
Until Friday's decision, the only other country on the FATF blacklist was North Korea.
The Israeli delegation to the FATF plenum was led by by Dr. Shlomit Wagman-Ratner and other representatives of the Money Laundering and Terrorist Prohibition Authority in the Ministry of Justice.
[EN.ANNAHAR] An international agency monitoring terrorism funding announced tough new financial scrutiny of Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... on Friday and added seven countries to a watch list.
Pakistain, meanwhile, won a reprieve from the Financial Action Task Force at its meetings in Gay Paree this week. The monitoring body gave Pakistain’s government another four months to crack down on terrorism financing and did not put the country on a damaging "black list."
Iran and North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... are the only two countries currently on the agency’s black list. That means international financial transactions with those countries are closely scrutinized, making it costly and cumbersome to do business with them. International creditors can also place restrictions on lending to black-listed countries.
The FATF decided on Friday to further tighten the screws on Iran ‐ whose economy is already reeling ‐ by imposing extra measures that could require audits on more transactions and make it even harder for foreign investors to do business there.
The group made the decision because Iran failed to fulfill its promises to the FATF despite repeated warnings. In a statement, the organization said that Iran hasn’t done enough to criminalize terrorist financing, require transparency in wire transfers or freeze terrorist assets targeted by U.N. sanctions.
The head of Iran’s central bank, Abdolnasser Hemmati, said the decision will "will create no problem for Iran’s foreign trade and currency."
Iranian Foreign Ministry front man Abbas Mousavi called the decision "politicized" and a result of pressure from the United States, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Israel.
Mousavi said Iran had implemented "all regulations and laws linked to money laundering and financing terrorism in the more than past two years."

Can't within certain miles from the border. Take it up with SCOTUS who've allowed BP checkpoints several miles from the border to do just that. BTW, Grayhound or any other vehicle can be disassembled on suspension and BP can toss the owner a wrench to reassemble the thing.
