Koko78 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I love these countries like Russia and China. First thing they do in a tiff is stop importing food to feed their people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then they confiscate the ships when they enter Iranian waters? This horseshit is the equivalent to faking the light from a lighthouse in the olden days. They're nothing more than pirates and should all hang from the yardarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the Iranians are down to what, France, Germany and Russia, to prop up their collapsed economy and failing regime? Good luck with that. None of them are going to choose trading with Iran over trading with us (or in Russia's case, using our banking system.)

Iranian President Threatens Attack On Israel If Country Sends Warships To Persian Gulf Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is threatening to attack Israel if it sends warships to the Persian Gulf. In a statement Wednesday, he denounced a U.S. proposal to dispatch an international maritime squad to ensure safety in the Strait of Hormuz. Rouhani said Israel better think about its own safety. He also accused the U.S. and the west of trying to seize the “Muslim world’s” energy resources. The Iranian president went on to claim his country is in charge of security in the Persian Gulf. </snip> 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
