> Syria: Using chemical weapons, sponsoring terrorism Was there a single UN report that was able to prove with certainty it was from the government and not the opposition? The Syrian government and Russia were winning the war at the time and it didn't make any sense to cross Obama's "red line". As for sponsoring terrorism, I guess you're talking about Saudi Arabia and the US who funneled money and weapons that ended up in ISIS hands, right? Even if we put 100% of the blame on Syria government, many of US allies have done the same (sponsoring terrorism such as Saudi Arabia or Pakistan etc). The US also tuned a blind eye when SA slaughtered Yemenis, they even kept selling them weapons. Let's be real here, the US doesn't care about all these bad stuff, they only care that Syria is allied with Russia instead of them. Besides, the US used chemical weapons in Vietnam (napalm) and Afghanistan (white phosphorus) so let's not pretend they care. > Iran: Assisting Syria; Actively developing nukes they say they will use, nuclear proliferation, biggest sponsor of terrorism, .... Iran is Syria's ally so it makes sense that they are defending them. Why shouldn't Iran have nukes when others in the region already have them? > Crimea: Illegal occupation by Russia. Ethnic cleansing. Pretty sure the US has another ally that does some of those things and they seem to be best buddies. Anyway, my point is not to say that any of these countries are not evil, it's just that the US and its allies does the same horrible things and don't seem to have a problem with it. The only reason the US is punishing these countries is because it won't bend to US hegemony. Not because of the reasons you listed. Let's be real here.

>Was there a single UN report that was able to prove with certainty it was from the government and not the opposition? There wasn't, and this fake news has been widely debunked. That doesn't stop the blood-thirsty types from continuing to claim it happened in their call for war, more war, more endless war ..

" biggest sponsor of terrorism, ...." Mohammed Bone Saw, and the rest of the billionaires in Saudi Arabia who funded 9/11 would beg to differ. The only reason we are embargoing Iran is because AIPAC tells us to. Iran has never done anything to the United States. Saudi Arabia killed 3,000 Americans in 2 hours, and we didn't seem to mind.

  Iran helped Hezbollah bomb US citizens - hundreds died. First the US Embassy in Lebanon and then the US Marines Barracks who were on a UN mission to protect Christians during the Lebanon Civil War. Iran also sponsored and trained extremists in Iraq responsible for killing and maiming thousands of U.S. soldiers. You can count up the death toll, and you'll find that nearly as many US citizens were killed by Iran-backed operations over the decades as were killed by Wahabbist operations (including 9/11). https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/american-victims-of-terrorist-attacks https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/american-victims-of-ter... Mohammad Bin-Salman is getting the realpolitik pass because he so far is significantly more secularist than his rivals and predecessors and is relatively tolerant of the US & Israel compared to his rivals. Regardless of your feelings on AIPAC, that's a necessary step toward peace in the region. The Muslim Brotherhood and other Sunni fundamentalists despise him for that (and for how strictly and sometimes horrifically Saudi agencies are treating them). The current Prince deserves criticism, but you're lumping him in with the wrong faction.

    Haha come now. Bonesaw gets a pass because he buys a lot of American weaponry to use in his genocide against Yemen, ands because he does Israel's bidding in Iran. Iran as a nation has never harmed anybody I know. I cannot say the same about Israel, the Israel genocide force murdered an American friend of mine about 15 years ago, running her over with a bulldozer when protesting in Gaza. Saudi Arabia funded and executed 9/11. An old manager of mine died in 9/11, therefore, Saudi Arabia has murdered somebody I know, on Saudi soil. Iran has never harmed anybody on US soil. The bombing of that marine barracks? That's war, war on foreign soil, where America does not belong. In return, America has murdered tens of thousands of Iranians, has starved them through embargoes, and the CIA helped remove a democratically elected, liberal democrat with a terrorist who wanted to impose Shariah law. Thanks to us, the entire nation has suffered for 40 years .. and will keep suffering as long as AIPAC deems it so.

It's been 16 years since her skull was smashed to death by zionist murderers. She was 23 years old and doing the right thing.
