    How is this okay for you? We just stole oil from a sovereign country because of sanctions we unilaterally placed on them. Why are you okay with this?

      One tortured a girl to death for not wearing a head covering and is supplying Russia with kamikaze drones to murder women and children, the other is actively genociding the Uyghur people. I hope America, the lesser of three evils, continues to swing its massive dong in their faces and make things just a little harder for their dumb asses.

        Great, So if China seizes a tanker transporting microchips to the US, because it was once owned by a Chinese corporation, you’ll be okay with that?

            If America keeps this up, you may find out why you should give a shit.

              No, I don’t think I will. Both Iran and China are in no position to actually harm the US. Especially not over an oil tanker that obviously violated our sanctions. The worst likely outcome is further economic decoupling from China, which I wholeheartedly support. You know, because of the whole actively commiting genocide thing.

                Neither. Just understand that actions like this are what cause terrorist acts against America. I don’t want that, and neither should you.

                    Deflection from the fact that America is stealing oil from countries under the pretense of sanctions that they made up. Focus on the matter addressed in the post, not me. Or are you too afraid that it will shatter this illusion you’ve created that America is a just country?

        And your take should be the same. If China did this to us, you’d be screaming for war.

            Good for you. I’m American, and I care if we treat the world fairly. We will reap what we sow.

                If you can’t defend the injustice, attack the person. I totally expected as much from you.

                  why are you defending a fascist criminal enterprise that i am at war with… this is my question… with fake morality and fearful answers, like a child… and then pretend to lecture, like a child would… it’s not very impressive…

                    I’m not defending Iran or China. I’m not here to impress you. America is stealing resources from countries under made up pretenses. I just recognize it. Attacking me doesn’t change that.
