Lol Iran contemplating trying to charge a toll for anything that passes through the strait.

Good thing, you know... They don't own those waters. Once again, these stupid fucks think they are swinging a big dick but reality tells you it's microscopic.

Someonesmind is a chump for Trumpist propaganda. The seized Iranian tanker was anchored off Gibraltar & I can't find any reference to its tracker being turned off. Not that it matters when a ship is at anchor. Only 4 of its crew were onboard at the time. The british tanker seized in the strait of Hormuz engaged in a strange maneuver & was clearly in Iranian waters. It's unclear whether its tracker was turned off before or after it was seized-

Learn to do even half an ounce of research you complete retard. The tanker was pulled into Iranian waters detective dipshit.

Once again, you idiots hear something from Iran and you're too stupid to even question something from a country that has been known for nothing but corruption time and time again.

Wanting us to respond to being attacked has nothing to do with trickle down economics.

And pushing back when pushed damn well better not be a conservative only idea, lest the "Left" be ripe for slaughter by whoever comes calling.
We weren’t pushed.

Facts do have a liberal bias. Renouncing the JCPOA & invoking sanctions was an act of naked economic aggression. Claiming victimhood is standard Trumpian bullshit that the Faithful fall for every time.

Is that the lesson learned from Iraq?

When I saw my cousin in the military hospital, still in a weeks long coma from the wounds suffered from the IED, it was hard to call him the lucky one even though his companions returned home underneath draped flags.

What was the point of it? What noble calling was there to regale to his daughter who just saw her Daddy sent away and returned broken, possibly trapped in a never ending sleep?

There was none. None of us could say it openly, but all knew the truth. It was a goddamn waste. This story was told thousands of times over by other families.

You push back on backs of men, women and families who suffer the consequences of other's foolishness and pride.

For what now? A deal broken because it was made by rival? A tub of oil? A point of pride?

None of these are my problems or dire threats, and I wouldn't ask another countryman to be sacrificed for something so worthless.

When are you reporting for duty? This is a shit storm Trump created by bailing on the deal in the first place.

Yep. Let us return to the same hostile foreign policy towards Iran that didn't work for 36 years & that prompted them to threaten to create nuclear weapons. We had to give up on regime change bullshit in order to stop them. Or, you know, just start another war, like that's done us much good in recent memory.

Obama got what America wanted in the JCPOA. We had to give up on our bullying to have it. Everybody won except the war mongers.

our problems with iran go all the way back to the 50s when we overthrew an elected government just because the UK didn't like that they were going to nationalize oil production and conned us into taking action..
