U.S. Navy seizes Iranian cargo ship after blockade breach

[JoeB131]

Nope, we just aren't a bunch of nansy pansies like you and your ilk who believes the world's problems can be solved if the US runs around with our proverbial tails between our legs.

I'm still waiting for one of you Wignuts to tell me why we are interfering in a country that presents no threat to us on the other side of the planet.

Sure I do. Attacking infrastructure meant to sustain life would be considered Genocide under the UN convention.

Definitions of Genocide and Related Crimes | United Nations

www.un.org

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1. Killing members of the group;
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

By this definition, any country engaged in a war is committing genocide. Brilliant.

Once again, if they weren't a threat, why did Obama feel the need for the nuclear deal, why did people like you support it and why did people like you raise such a big stink when Trump ripped it up?

 

[struth]

Right. They won't do what we want, so let's commit some GENOCIDE.

It's worked so well for the Zionists.

A navel blockade is genocide?

Hahaha…it’s pretty clear at this point you demafasict are trying to degrade the meaning of the word to deflect from your past acts

Our intent is not to destroy in whole or part a national, ethnical, racial or religious group…actually it’s very much the opposite

It’s to liberate people from an oppressive terrorist regime

No, any other country at war knows not to target power plants, desalination plants, or other key life-sustaining infrastructure.

A navel blockade is genocide?

First, it's spelled "Naval". Navel is your belly button.

Secondly, I was referring to the targeting of life-sustaining infrastructure, which Trump has threatened to do.

Then why are we threatening to bomb power plants and desalination plants?

 

[struth]

Then why are we threatening to bomb power plants and desalination plants?

To get the Govt of Iran to stop their nuclear program, and open the strait.

Don't get me wrong, we'd also like the Govt to fall apart, and the people be liberated from the terrorist regime as well.

You really, are way out of your league today. It's clear you totally missed the actual defintion of genocide, and couldn't comprehend your own UN link

 

[SweetTea]

No, any other country at war knows not to target power plants, desalination plants, or other key life-sustaining infrastructure.

According to your definition, "committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:"

My mistake. The defintion clearly exonerates the US and Israel from committing genocide because our intent isn't to target a specific group. It just so happens that when at war or conflict with another other country, the majority of the people in that country tend to be of the same nationality. Who'd of thunk it?

Anybody with a link of common sense knows this isn't a genocide. That excludes most anti-US/Trump lefties.

 

[Blaster]

The United States is taking the gloves off.

Haha iran presents no threat! Haha seriously, stop embarrassing yourself

Iran was settled by Obama, until Trump shit all over the agreement.

What do yoh mean it was settled?

 

[mudwhistle]

You've already lost. Time to cut your losses and admit it.

Lost?

 

[konradv]

What do yoh mean it was settled?

We had an agreement that was being followed. Prove it wasn’t.
