Iran attacked the US embassy.
Trump started the dick measuring contest after saying that the Iran deal was a *very bad deal*. He claimed that the USA should have kept Iran’s frozen cash reserves. Shortly after his election, Trump stated that he would not recognise the Iran nuclear deal and ramped up sanctions, crippling their economy.Iran attacked the US embassy.
Gronk prefers to leave important facts out if they aren't helping his argument. Have you not noticed?
Lol, swing and miss.Gronk prefers to leave important facts out if they aren't helping his argument. Have you not noticed?
Words aren't violence Gronk. Words are how entities communicate leverage. Iran kicked off the need to demonstrate leverage through violence.Trump started the dick measuring contest after saying that the Iran deal was a *very bad deal*.

Not saying that Iran has clean hands, but it is mischievous of you to post the above.

The odd thing is that Trump has been simultaneously poking the bear with Iran, and scaling down the US presence in the middle east (in particular Iraq and Syria). We all know that he said ....”We’re getting out. Let someone else fight over this long blood-stained sand. The job of our military is not to police the world,”...
FMD it’s like a bully using flagrant provocation, then claiming self defence when the other guy hits first.Words aren't violence Gronk. Words are how entities communicate leverage. Iran kicked off the need to demonstrate leverage through violence.
Iran is a bad global citizen. They don't feel compelled to comply with their side of any deal. Trump got the facts after becoming president and decided the charade was worthless.
Obviously the career politicians running other countries see great value in meaningless agreements. That's what politics is all about.
The US has spent a lot of money and lives allowing the rest of us to get rich. They don't have the luxury of being any sort of global citizen, they are burdened with being the global police force. They're too big to fill any other role.One might also suggest that the US is a bad global citizen
Indeed how are we going as a global citizen? We don't have an energy policy, have a claytons attitude towards climate change, our indigenous folk have a 3rd world mortality rate and we lock up refugees on Devils Island*.One might also suggest that the US is a bad global citizen
Those random thoughts in your head are not facts merkin, no matter what those voices in your head say.You need facts. Operate on facts not emotions.
f**k our eyesIndeed how are we going as a global citizen? We don't have an energy policy, have a claytons attitude towards climate change, our indigenous folk have a 3rd world mortality rate and we lock up refugees on Devils Island*.

In this case it's relevant, given the stuff The Donald has been saying.
He's a hypocrite. More than most politicians.
That’s the thing with “war crimes”. It’s the goodies who run around charging the baddies with crimes of war. Anything that the good guys do is for some reason acceptable. Then when whistle blowers expose the war crimes, they are treasonous. Chelsea Manning a case in point.If another country attacked and killed a country's leader like the Donald did, they would be accused of terrorism

I dont think what Trump did was acceptable, call it a war crime or terrorism but he is in the wrong imo, probabaly more to do with his trying to win votes rather than diplomacy
