    Loopholes implies rules and laws. It’s abundantly clear that those don’t exist. They have long been a fiction wielded by “the west” against “lesser” states. Iran is trying to ensure its own survival against a determined aggressor. It seems to me that they have been very measured in their self defense. You and anyone else concerned about the flow of oil are better off pressuring the the countries responsible for the situation, than complaining that Iran isn’t capitulating. But hey, you made your choice to be a salty asshole. You’re an adult, and you knew where that would lead you. Take your lumps and get a bicycle, I guess.

      I live on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean how the fuck am I pressuring either of the two nations. The US like Iran doesnt give a fuck about their own people let alone the rest of the world. Plus theres nothing wrong with me saying fuck Iran. They bombed civilian vessels and plunged the world onto recession. You’re out here sweeping for them like they have your family hostage.

      You’re happy to accept anytime there is a conflict that the participants try and inflict maximum damage on the world because fuck it.

      I already bike and I’m lucky enough to be economically unaffected by this. But this is going to destroy millions of lives and cause more wars to breakout. This will never get through to a bootlicking tankie. Id never expect someone like you to empathise with the working class.
