They have a small pipeline going to BC but not for export...

Keystone XL will carry 800,000 barrels a day.

They would never do this shit with Trump.

If two small boats wandered into iranian territory? Yes they would. Dude, seriously, ratchet down the cultism a couple notches.

Sending them billions?

U.S. Transferred $1.3 Billion More in Cash to Iran After Initial Payment

Funny, this says otherwise.
FactCheck.org

My WSJ article documents that Obama sent Iran Billions. Your FactCheck link doesn't comment on that.

It was THEIR MONEY, and NOT OUR Money, and that is where Redfish's comment was wrong.

The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a 37-year-old arbitration claim between the U.S. and Iran. The remaining $1.3 billion represented estimated interest on the Iranian cash the U.S. had held since the 1970s.

White House officials had said that they believed the U.S. would lose the arbitration case over the initial $400 million payment, made by the last Shah of Iran months before the Islamic Revolution. Such a decision would have made them liable for much more money

US made $1.7 billion transfer to Iran in foreign cash, Treasury says

Shouldn't you be more concerned with covering your ankles and washing your dirty Burkah, yah whore? Iran should have never gotten that money. And should have never gotten interest either. They are a Terrorist State.

Cover your ankles before you make some Iranian blow up a bus full of school kids.

the law, is the law... our founders created a govt of laws, not of men.... we would have owed more, when the judicial hammer came down... this money would have been given back, with or without the Iran nuke deal between us, allies and Iran... 35 years of litigation was coming to its end... and we lost the battle... such is life, it sometimes sucks wind, bigley!

now go and wash out your mouth with soap, low life trash mouth!


Government of laws not of men
In 1780, John Adams enshrined this principle in the Massachusetts Constitution by seeking to establish "a government of laws and not of men." The influence of Britain, France and the United States contributed to spreading the principle of the rule of law to other countries around the world.

Let’s see......

An election is coming up and Trump is trying to start a war
Nothing beats the Patriotism card

Got Bush re-elected

Ah, so Bush had the navy secretly torpedo a Norwegian and Japanese oil tanker to whip Creepy Joe in an election almost 18 months from now.....No wonder you voted for Hilllary....you'll believe literally anything.

Not torpedoes. Mines. Attached to the ships.

No, because it is correct. That's iranian territory. You are in la la land.

We know what obama would do -- Preemptive surrender. But what will Trump do?

We know he is opposed to Foreign Wars. Hates them.

Iran has called his bluff, will he respond in kind??

Of course, the only decent news about almost anything comes from the Foreign Press. The American Press stopped being in the news business decades ago --

Oil tankers hit in fresh 'torpedo attack' in Gulf of Oman amid Iran tensions - live updates

Their is no reason for US to defend western European oil interest
and this is fishy as all hell

A few weeks ago, Iran SAID they were going to close the Straits of Hormuz in response to America's re-imposed sanctions. What is fishy?

racist warmongering whore

its not our problem. we dont depend on middle eastern oil like the western low iq dumber than dirt diesel smog polluting eurotrash garbage
or the nips

let em shut it down


Iran’s foreign minister has labeled the reported attack on two “Japan-related” oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman as “suspicious,” occurring just as Japanese Prime Minister Abe came to Tehran for major talks. Expressing his misgivings on Twitter, Javad Zarif noted that the incidents on the two vessels on Thursday, one of which had been reportedly struck by a torpedo, had occurred as Abe sat down for “extensive and friendly” discussions with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.This may have actually been more of a warning to Japan than an attempt to bang the war drum.

Closing down the Straits would be considered an international act of war, since closing off the Straits would mean stopping 20% of oil to the world, 19 million barrels a day. I would say it would certainly be a UN issue if it comes to that.
.

Sanctions are also an act of war...

Tell em to get with it than.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway....

Why does the u.s. need to do anything at all? One was a Norwegian tanker, and the other Japanese. Both carrying Japanese cargo.

The Japanese navy is more than capable of retaliation if they so choose. I guess I'm not seeing why everytime there is a conflict in the world that the u.s. has to stick their nose in it.

It would be one thing if it was an ally and they had no way of defending themselves, but like I said, the Japanese navy is amply capable.

This has been answered over and over in this thread.
Start from the beginning,read the whole thread.

Nah, they wouldn’t have stopped there.

Besides, Hitler had no interest at all in the Western Hemisphere. None

NOPE!

Why would the US respond to this? If Iran did this, which seems highly likely, then Iran attacked a Norwegian ship and a Japanese ship but not an American ship. Clearly, this attack was not aimed at the US but at other countries as a warning of what will happen if these countries don't try to pressure the US into backing down.

I think Trump wants a war, he wants to have “wartime CIC” in the history books after he is dead and gone.

The problem for the OP is this didn't happen under Obama, it happened under Trump...

Iran knew there was a carrot and a stick... Trump doesn't know the players and is clueless on what he is doing... He might attack but he could be attacking the wrong country, they like false flags down there...

The main problem is Obama was playing Chess and Trump is playing Snap...
Trump Supporters only understand Snap and don't understand Chess...

I'd say Trump knows way more than the two previous war loving idiots .

More than likely, it was AQ.

You think that Mexico would seize two US navy ships in their waters? I think not. Going into their waters does not justify them seizing your vessels. That is an act of war. With a real president. We just had a half-black moron for 8 years.

Iran is telling the Japanese that if Japan abides by the US sanctions, it will pay dearly for ME oil.

And the US wants Japan to buy oil from anyone else, but not Iran. Right?
