    So Iranians trying to subvert American law is different though? Like they intentionally moved the funds through numerous companies to disguise it. Also using USD, property of the US government.

    That has nothing to do with the idea of sovereignty?

    Hypocrite.

        Russia invaded Ukraine. China is literally waging a genocide. Saudi Arabia murdered Khashoggi in an embassy. Iran literally sprayed live ammunition into crowds last year because their citizens didn’t want their rule anymore.

        But the US took oil that was meant to fund militant groups who intentionally did things to disguise the transaction because they knew it was illegal.

        Sure kiddo

            was with you until your dumbass said the US is trying to start a war with China. Fat wrong sis.

            Also the middle east is a religious backwards shit hole and while American imperialism and the reasoning for it was lies and wrong, doesn’t change the fact the middle east is ruled by blood money oil tycoons and religious psychopaths.

            But no. The fact they tried to disguise their money handling is fact enough, they were attempting to evade the US and failed because they knew they were doing something that would cause the US to act because it was under US jurisdiction sorry sis.

                Nah China doesn’t own it, also fuck China and fuck you spreading propaganda that China owns it, they don’t.

                Taiwan, Philippines, Japan all allow American vessels in THEIR jurisdiction.

        You see, America owns everything, everywhere, at any time. Everyone is subject to US laws, like an empire. Oh wait…

          Why did they try to hide these transactions then?

          Admittance of guilt. Moron

            The same reason bootleggers smuggled alcohol during Prohibition. Or the same reason reason abolitionists smuggled slaves with the Underground Railroad. But a moron wouldn’t understand analogies. You clearly don’t have the capacity to comprehend the logic. Mendacity only works in small groups. Your reasoning might sway the masses, for a time. But truth will always win in the end, because lies have no foundation in society.

              Truth is Iran killed it’s own people because they didn’t want their ruler.

              Their sovereignty is questionable and you’re a ween about it lol

        Literally clear as day lol they incriminated themselves by trying to hide the transaction. They even knew what they were doing was illegal, why can’t you accept that?

          This is eristic. Your obstinacy displays a stunted intellect. Try reading history and moral philosophy. Then get back to me. You’re wasting my time.

              I gave the reason. Sanctions are one way bucko, only enforceable through power. But you’re okay with that because it’s your team. Grow up.
