Acts of war by the US: alloting $400 million to destabilize Iran, flying drones over Iran, killing Iranian scientists in and out of Iran. US threatens Iran over closure of the Strait. December 30, 2011 4:10 am bowser

Even for an Israeli client-state this is “chutzpah”!

And now if Iran closes the straits or, I presume, the shipping lanes farther up into the Persian Sea the US is threatening with more problems.  On top of the sanctions for trying to, in a worst case scenario, come up with a weapon of which Israel has 200 of.

 

Imagine a rogue state, out of control, long-term oppressor of a helpless civilian population (yes, helpless).  Having learned from Hitler, Israel bombs, strafes, rockets and drives tanks over helpless civilians with the approval of the US.

 

Imagine Iran, now, simply at worst wanting standoff capacity against such rogue states.  The US is already conducting war against Iran.  And Iran might take actions which would harm the attackers.  While, as with any bully, the US sreams “unfair”.

 

Comical, really.
