    So you agree they deserve sanctions and this is a good thing.

    Why are you arguing?

      I said “Being a hell state isn’t a criterion for sanctions.” Sanctions don’t work the way you think they do. They don’t actually punish the people who make hell states the hell states that they are. If they did, then the hell state that would be among those that deserve it the most would be the USA. Do you agree with this?

        No, but whether or not I agree the US should be sanctioned is not relevant here.

          Cool, because being a “hell state” is not relevant for sanctions.

            Iran’s government is the reason we sanctioned Iran.

              Yeah, because they reclaimed the oil instead of handing it over to western companies.

                I like you. Remind me to never argue with you.

                No, because they’re a totalitarian islamic nightmare.

                    Yeah I’m all for destabilizing them too. Let’s do it in lieu of carbon taxes since it will have the same net result for the average American.

                    I am most definitely pro-intervention. Freedom is non-negotiable, and free countries have a moral imperative to spread liberal democracy across the planet. The strong have an obligation to protect the weak.
