I pretty much agree with all of this. Only part I take issue with is whether we have grounds to sanction them. Keep in mind they were arming our enemies. Probably still are.
Yeah I know that. However, Russia has been arming our enemies for decades. Really I cant be pissed at Iran for arming our enemies when we were invading their neighbors, weve been doing that for decades. Now if we started encountering Iranian military, then hell yeah.
Think of this - when we invaded Iraq, within weeks, people from other countries started heading to Iraq to fight the United States because we invaded their lands. Itd be like Canadians coming to the US to help us fight off Russia.
Cant really be pissed about that. And I doubt Russia would have declared war on Canada because they were supplying us with firearms.
I kind of see where youre coming from (attempting to stop the flow of material to our enemies), but really that will never happen without full on declaring war with Iran, which is exactly the kind of thing the Muslim brotherhood wants and would possibly spark a full scale Muslim/West war. I really wouldnt mind wiping that disgusting religion off the face of the planet. But at some point we do have to let reason win, we are supposed to be more civilized than those fucks. I dont believe in letting them dictate how we live our lives, I dont believe in letting them come here and piss on our consitution and rewrite the laws to fit their lifestyle ala France and the other euro countries. I also dont believe that we should be dictating how they live their lives in their own countries.
They want something like this to unite the Muslim communities together so they can push for a new Muslim empire.
And frankly, the lives of just one our fellow citizens is not worth 10'000 of those extremist shitbags. If were going to attack Iran, we may as well just say fuck it and declare war against Muslims, cause I think thats what will happen.
And then itll be our men shedding their blood, and for what? To stop a bunch of monkeys from trying to form an empire that for all intents and purposes, we would have started.
Slipper slope bro.
