Finally Some One with a Pair of Balls

Iran has seized a British-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz amid growing tensions in the region.

The Stena Impero has a crew of 23 onboard.

Comes around goes around, Brittles. Shouldn't have been rattling your sabres. How's that Iran deal coming along? Fools.

This has come about because the Brittles as you like to call them , did the USA s dirty work impounding an Iranian tanker in Gibralter ., allegedly bound for Syria .

Daily Mail is reporting that Iran has seized a British tanker, Stena Impero, in the Strait of Harmuz with 23 crew members aboard.

A British flagged tanker . Certainly not a British ship , and no British mariners aboard the vessel .
Stenna is a Swedish company , and im sure i saw it flying a Swedish flag , alongside Stennas house flag , but no red ensign. .

Only stating what was reported. Doesn't much matter what flag was flying or the nationality of the crew. Iran is impeding the shipping lanes.

I'm guessing those in the UK government were not allowed to say 'no' if they didn't want to participate in sanctions.

I agree . Iran is a massive wort on the face of the earth , and needs to surgically removed . But how ?
Sanctions will not achieve it , but they will and do help stir up a nonsense storm .

The sanctions are working. That's why Iran is doing what they're doing. Their currency is inflated to collapse levels. They're hurting.

This morning, according to Reuter's, there's two Iranian ships stranded in Brazil. No Fuel For You!

your right

governments think we are stupid

their right

Indeed.

Oh my.

So what's really happening in Iran..........


...........Enter the stage the Orange Farkwit. He doesn't like the fact that his predecessor has achieved a deal - after all, only the insecure narcissist Trump can be the "Master of the Deal". And Israel, the prime ME intriguer, is in his ear.

So in predictable fashion, and ignoring the other 5 parties to the agreement, the Bloated Orange Bloviator tears up the agreement, and throws the whole region into a state of even more volatility.

And here we are today.

DONALD TRUMP - THE WORLD CHAMPION OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

Iran has been the problem child of the world since it became an islamic rebublic .
I cant remember a time when it was not causing mayhem somewhere in the world . It must be in their D N A or something .
Trump is not helping , but then the Obamha deal was a joke , so i dont blame him for ripping that up .

[Doodoo]

Its not in the DNA of Iranians This is not something that is defined by boarders
As an example "The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda. 15 of the 19 were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one was from Egypt."
The problem is not an Iranian one, a Yemen one, nor a Syrian one. It comes down to them(US) NOT finding a common thread to combat for all countries.
We have organizations alerady in place but they move like mollasses or dont move at all

It comes down to NOT finding a common thread to combat for all countries.

The allegiance of radicalized Muslim terrorists is far stronger to their religion than to some nebulous notion of national sovereignty or whatever passport they happen to carry. That any group of ISIS or AQ is comprised of members of a certain nation is insignificant. Often, terrorists become radicalized outside of their home country. Their nationality is only important to uninformed westerners trying to make faulty connections. I thought most people understood this by 2000.

............. but then the Obamha deal was a joke , so i dont blame him for ripping that up .

France + Germany + UK + US + China + Russia + EU + UN Security Council didn't think it was a joke. I know who's judgement I would prefer.

I recall a number of countries who thought Chamberlain's idea for Hitler's invasions of neighboring countries was a good idea. Just because there are some parties who think something is great, doesn't mean it is great.

The facts of the Iran Nuclear Deal prove it was all bullsh*t. The countries still hanging on aren't doing so because they believe and trust Iran. They're hanging on to make money in trade with Iran. Up to them. They can do whatever they wish, but knowing their motivation is important to know.

[Giggle]

Israel will be the final arbiter. They don't play games.
In the past six decades, they've knocked the pants off more Arabs than a goat-hearding camel humper.

This might get boring but please bare with me. I had the pleasure of spending 10 years with an absolutely wonderful girl who through no fault of hers was born in an Islamic Country (Egypt) We used to holiday in Cairo at least twice a year and even bought a flat (apartment for the Shermans) and land up by the old El Alamain ( North Africa before you Shermans decided to bless us with your presence) battle fields First thing she would do on arriving in Cairo was take her young sisters head scarf off and give her a new slightly tight tee shirt, start shouting at her mother for becoming an all covering in black lady. Mum and Dad (who really just wanted a quiet life) both said it was the new radical Islamic enforcers who were making these rules and they could not walk the streets as they used to without being abused. The real people have not changed but the radicals have. Just Google Iran before the Revolution and Cairo in the 1980s. The people are crying out for someone to rid them of the Stone Age followers but starving them and bombing them into submission just will just not work. Laughing Boy (Giggle) please note.

Bung Trump back as POTUS say around 83 years ago and it's not difficult to work out who would be friendly with the lunatic German.

Emotions getting the best of you again. Twice? You must be bucking for head cheerleader of CBoS. You'll need a pleated skirt and pompoms.

It's been amusing to see BECAUSE TRUMP offered for everything wrong with Iran while ignoring the facts of the deal. Even Chuck Schumer, the Dem minority leader in the senate said it was no good, and Bayrack was his boy. The deal didn't go to the senate because Bayrack knew it wouldn't pass. The agreement between Obama and Iran was worthless and not legally binding. Obama admitted it.

UK government orders all of their cargo ships to stay out of the Strait of Hormuz and threatened serious consequences against Iran if the aggression continues.
