One of whom was an archetypal, woman suppressing, rude, self opinionated, lying, scheming, devious shit of human being. I must have been like an Iranaian in the early 70s.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said repeatedly and will say again, look at Obama's involvement in the existing deal, may just open those blinkers Neddy 😊 Trump reneged and said any world banks doing business with Iran would face sanctions in the US No self respecting global bank would rather do business with Iran over the US Rendering the whole thing dead in the water, despite the other 5 wanting to stand by the deal It wasn’t just Obama who agreed the deal, it was our government along with others. It was working, perhaps not as much as some would have liked. Since it’s been canned, relations have got worse.

A lesser of two evils perhaps. Don't know enough about the full details to be honest. As for worsening relations: you may well be right, but the actions of Iran have been going on well before the Americans withdrew from the deal. They're a hugely shit stirring nation, looking to destabilise where ever possible to promote their influence, via terrorism and direct attacks through other agencies.

I put a different link up on this thread this afternoon re Obama and his funnelling of funds to Iran (the one ST said he couldn't read as he was in Morrrisons stockpiling bananas and baked beans, but still replied to every other post). That's an interesting read and also gives an inkling to the fudged deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they're upping attacks recently, to detract from home issues. Maybe the killing of the general will backfire, who knows. But I do believe there's a rationale to the American action, whether its right or not we'll see in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I will read something from CBS, not sure why you would choose to post a link from some far right web site that nobody has ever heard of over a main stream outlet that’s a lot more credible From what I can see it’s much less of a conspiracy as has been made out on your far right link. In the spirit of good faith, in order to get the deal over the line the Obama administration granted a licence so that Iran could transfer its own money from Omani currency to another currency that can be widely used. Any transaction of that size would need to pass through US$ For a short period during clearing and would be subject to fines as per the sanctions in place, thus Obama giving the licence Still doesn’t make me think that it was a ‘bad deal’. Simply put, if Iran row’s back on making nuclear weapons then we lift financial sanctions so they can bring a bit of prosperity to their country / people. Carrot rather than stick Since Trump ditched the carrot option and instead chose to return to stick it’s caused nothing but mither, fucking pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the same principle. He's just assassinated one of Iran's lynch pins, without consulting his allies, on sovereign foreign territory. Risking being pulled into another (and potentially much more serious) military conflict in the Middle East, despite his whole foreign policy being set out as non-interventionist. It looks like back of a fag packet politics to me. And this idea that they had intelligence that an attack against US personnel was imminent. And that killing this guy has eliminated that threat. Presumably the wasn't going to carry it out himself? That attack could still take place this afternoon. And I'd also imagine that Iran had some sort of succession planning in place and that whoever takes the reins will now be in charge of an organisation (and it's proxies) that are fully fired up and have now got a high profile 'martyr' for them to go to paradise for. And sticking the stars and stripes on his Twitter feed? What a monumental bell. Straight out of the 'Mission Accomplished' school. And if anybody wants to shut down the debate (brexiteers are racist style) by saying 'this is just because you hate trump' then you can get fucked. I'm judging each of his actions on its merits.

What about some Integrity for fucks sake. Announcing to the world they have 52 more Iranian targets they will hit hard and fast, will cause hysteria and panic. The shit haired ape.

The shithouse. Perhaps his initial silence is the leadership you're looking for. Pompeo sounded a little miffed that immediate European backing wasnt forthcoming. Maybe Boris was sending a signal out. As it is, steps have been taken in response, warships back on escorting duties, foreign secretary meeting European counterparts before going to the US. Not sure what more we can do (publicly at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
