War with Iran Part II

Anonymous
The U.S./NATO attacked Serbia and bombed it for 78 days without a U.S. resolution. I do not recall any reparations.

Yes it happened a month ago.


Why can’t we just “walk away”?


Iran wants reparations.


I get that, but would the US have to pay if we just leave and drop it? They could close the Strait but they can do that even if we do pay.


Yes. We have to pay. We attacked them unprovoked, committed heinous war crimes, and now we must pay.


I agree with the part in bold, but don’t quite see why the US would pay have to pay reparations if we just left. Ethically, we probably should, but that’s not my question.


Because Iran then would close the SOH leading to pandemonium. That economic and political pain would be much worse than working out an agreement. Leading up to the MOU Trump was desperate for a deal and was too weak to push back to Iran's demands that included reparations.


What would guarantee that they wouldn’t just close it again? “We want another $100b, Strait is closed”.

Republicans love the Iranian government more than they love the American people.

Make sense. The terms of surrender are similar to the Treaty of Versailles. Some how Israel has escaped payments of reparations?

The only thing that will shut down the strait is Israel continuing the war. Israel must be controlled.

You are correct that Iran could threaten again. In that scenario, other countries with better ties to Iran (China, Russia?) could tell them to cool it.

The JCPOA had other countries on board (including China and Russia) to collectively restrain Iran.

This isn’t just oddly inappropriate. It suggests that the ongoing Middle East negotiations are intertwined with private profit-making opportunities for the Trump family.



This kind of questions are irrelevant now.
USA Federal Government is extensions of Trump Organization.

Yep

How is this even a question? Money, money, Money, Trump money. Trump couldn't let one son-in-law profit and leave out the other. Jared is making billions off of Trump connections. Tiffany insisted that her husband be let into the thieving and scamming club.

Serbia didn't have anything US needed.


US resolution doesn't have anything to do with reparations to a foreign nation.

Every now and then it's important and step back and recognize that when you see some foreign despot in South America or Africa or Europe or Asia robbing the country blind and running it like a mob takeover, the reason it is sinister because they speak a foreign language or where funny clothes. It happens here in English-speaking suit-wearing America too.
