- defrost 7mo agoThe US ignored all their own intelligence of decades, struck a country during negotiations, and the head of state and head of war are openly calling for war crimes while channeling all the worst aspects of former Air Force General Curtis LeMay without any of LeMay's experience.
- drivebyhooting 7mo agoYes it was a terrible decision. But now what? Do you have a suggestion for ending the conflict?
- defrost 7mo agoGet an experienced Trump whisperer in to back the silly old bugger out without feeling as though he lost. It's a mental health issue, and if you can't reel him in with gilded trinkets you'll need some cooler heads to remove him from issueing executive orders and immediately pass control to congress. The time for fixing the flaws in the US system was 20+ years past .. but if you can get that effort in now, it'll be appreciated.
- michaeljx 7mo agoAccept that you lost. Apologize for the mistake. Pay a few billions for repatriations, lift sanctions and open dialogue. But engaging into a multi-year trillion war is more likely, than accepting defeat upfront

- dlubarov 7mo agoExtorting an international waterway is effectively just piracy (we just don't typically use the word for state actors). We could try to end this piracy through negotiations, but letting states use piracy as a bargaining chip doesn't set a good precedent.
- anonymous_user9 7mo ago> letting states use piracy as a bargaining chip doesn't set a good precedent. If piracy is bad, what precedent due the US and Israel's conduct set? Instead of tolling the strait, Iran should arrest leaders of their neighboring states, and try them for their crimes under Iranian law.
- drivebyhooting 7mo agoThere’s no point in arguing tit for tat or who has the moral high ground. No matter what grievance one side brings up the other will have a retort.
- adrian_b 7mo agoYou forget that USA has instituted a blockade of Cuba in February, before attacking Iran. USA has intercepted the oil tankers headed to Cuba, causing a very serious fuel shortage there, which has created a lot of problems for the ordinary Cuban citizens. It is USA who started practicing piracy in international waters and blocking the traffic of ships belonging to others. Therefore now it is really shameless for USA to criticize Iran for doing against USA and its allies, during a war started by USA, the same thing that USA has already been doing, and unlike Iran, USA has started doing this completely unprovoked. USA has already demonstrated in numerous occasions that they believe to have the right to break any international laws and treaties whenever they please. Therefore any other country also has the same right, whenever that is done against USA or its allies.
- scotty79 7mo agoUS physically confirmed Iran's ownership of the strait. Now everybody should just get off their lawn. US spits on international laws and institutions so why should anybody respect them?
