    Strait forward question for you. If Iran takes a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, how is that a poke by us ?
    What sort of fucking logic is this?

    I don't think we need to go to war with Iran. I don't think Trump will do it either.
    I would sink ever damn ship they send into the Strait of Hormuz. And I would help the Brits get theirs back out of there.

    I see no reason to kill great numbers of Iranians civilian but life will not be good until they install a lawful civilize government that can support normal morality including respecting an Embassy and International Shipping.

    No way in hell would I support them being allow to have Nuclear weapons. The morality suggested by the Quran and Hadiths toward the Kaffir would have to be replaced and proven by deeds, over a 100 years first.

    Iran is the one poking the hornets because the sanctions are costing the Mullahs billions. They are playing a calculated game that oil prices will be effected as their riches have been affected.
    Its the Mulllas that are risking war for their people. They don't give a rats ass about their own people.

    Same old BS story.
    We’re going to go kill a million or so civilians because their leaders are boogeymen.

    The media is actually convincing people that sociopath John Bolton gives a fuck about Iranians. LOL. They should get an Oscar for that shit.

    I heard a really great idea today:

    Drop John Bolton and Mike Pompeo off in the middle of Iran with some sporks from KFC and let them fight their fucking war. Let them be heroes for America.

    Yes but the war was over at the time of reelection. We weren't at war.

    It’s good. I guess birds and wars are our common ground.

    Exactly. And you don’t have to get real far into the article before the names of oil companies start dropping. Reading about the Iran coup is like reading a play-by-play for what’s going on in Venezuela right now. When a country is found to have large oil deposits we suddenly start caring about the plight of their people (never mind our sanctions is what’s causing that plight) and feel the need to share wonderful democracy with them by overthrowing their government and installing a leader of our choice.
