Perhaps they are just liars and they were never confused. Like Nikki at the UN, she gets the crimes right but gets the criminals wrong every single time, Vegas would say a fix is in.

Trump succeeds in punishing Iran without spiking oil prices �� for now


After allowing some countries to buy Iranian oil, the Trump administration appears on track to attain the president��s dual policy goals of punishing Tehran with sanctions while also keeping oil prices in check.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Friday morning that the administration will dole out exemptions to eight countries allowing them to continue importing oil from Iran even as the U.S. applies sanctions on Tehran beginning Sunday night.

The waivers reflect the unease the Trump administration felt at the prospect of higher oil and gas prices during voting season. Yet sanctions experts and oil market practitioners don't expect the waivers to be lenient enough to save Iran's economy, which is highly dependent on oil exports.

Trump is arrogant, stubborn enough to go it alone.......if HE wants to do something like that. He has noall NO
allies as things stand now.....having insulted, berated, relations with previous allies.......Perhaps he is counting on Putin and Kim to help him out..
He would go rogue and believe he can get away with it... Tyrannical mindset. He is so provocative......he is dangerous. and his twitter activity is evidence of mental insatiably
International leaders are showing incredible restraint ,not to call him on his conduct.(verbal and behavioural)
Whip out a map. Iran has a neighbour with over a billion people and they are armed to the teeth and very thirsty for oil to drive their incredible growth.

India has no use for their Muzzie neighbours to the north and west.

The British can always be counted on to be hoodwinked into a military coalition. A lot of them have been Hoodwinked into thinking that their "special relationship" with the US is somehow bilateral despite the evidence to the contrary.
India. They have plans to dominate the region.

Only when they deal with companies like Union Carbide and other NATO controlled industries.

I would say the ones that wanted to gain 7 countries in 5 years are the incompetent ones as losing 2 of the main pieces will have the whole thing come crashing down. No contracts were going to NATO friendly countries anyway so sanctions against nations that have boycotted you means nothing. Good luck to the whole EU if they think the KSA and the US can supply the EU with the gas it needs. Everybody would be shivering and not one gear in industry would be turning. They will side with the gas supplies and boycott North America if that is what it takes.

India has 38 times the population of Canada and a total GDP that is only 1.58 times that of Canada.

India was the "rich" part of the British Empire and Canada was just "there".

India is incompetent.

Canada should take note that high unemployment will not be the extinction of a country. Population increases are possible during those times.


All that proves is that when the Brits are there 'to help' you end up like the stats you just provided. To do that is you making you look stupid all by yourself.


Them buying the S-400 and Iranian gas and Chinese products shouldn't be an issue, Right?

Iran is similar to China and Germany anti Americans as of the history of the war in history where the United States had success ones against Germany since the anti-Communists largest Westerns are torn by China who will never wrap down if the U.S. attacks thus the strongest of military forces across world.

Beware of hubris.

For ancient Greeks, hubris was unforgivable. It was a heinous crime, a great sin, because unchecked arrogance led always to irrational acts, ultimately dragging toward tragedy not only the presumptuous leader guilty of it but also a whole society.

President Trump threatened Iran late Sunday, warning of severe “consequences,” as rhetoric between the two countries’ presidents escalated dramatically.
Mr. Trump, in an all-caps message on Twitter addressed to President Hassan Rouhani of Iran, wrote that the country would face “CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED” if he continued to threaten the United States.

Just an idol observation/question but the dominoes are no longer falling over like they have to for the current kingdom to stand.

As an 'outsider' I have to say that seems a bit counter-productive no matter if mid-Sept is 'special' this year more than any other year. If 100 years is the gap between the 'event and the final record' that would seem there is bit more going on that 'simply the facts'.
