    Honestly one of the few good things they’ve done. Seeing American military might so defeated is a good sign for the wellbeing of all countries.

      I’m as happy as the next guy to see them eat shit with everything that’s happening, but let’s not pretend a weakened and exposed USA is going to be beneficial to global peace and order. The US shitting themselves has become Christmas for bad actors

      Taiwan and a few others aren’t as happy about it. EU isn’t ready to fill the hole and few others can be trusted to try. Fast downturns are always worse than slow ones you can prepare for.

        Iran is happy about it and they’re someone actively being invaded by the most imperialist country of the last century. Fast downturns are vital for them.

            You mean after they were unilaterally bombed without warning and had their civil and religious figurehead assassinated?

            Can’t believe the Iranians would resort to something as depraved as mild economic coercion in their own territorial waters after something like that

              Yes I agree Trump and Kegsbreath does warcrimes, hell, the entire Republican party should be executed

              THIS DOES NOT CREATE PERMISSION FOR THE VICTIM TO ATTACK INNOCENT EXTERNAL PARTIES.

              Was that so hard to understand?

              Countries who are not aligned with the dipshit shouldn’t be targeted

              Sinking ships isn’t mild to the sailors

                Yeah it’s a fucking war bud, when you have a war for your country you can take the high road and play by the rules if you want.

                Iran de-escalates the war and probably saved thousands of lives, Americans among them, by pulling an economic lever that largely ended the “war” and brought stability to the region and safety to themselves.

                I’m not going to ever blame a country for simply using the cards they were dealt to protect themselves from unilateral imperialism.

                When the US finally decide to cross the border into Canada I suppose you’ll want us to put away Geneva’s checklist as well?
