Iraninejad


Atomic bomb deployed by the United States

Remember the "Bomb bomb Iran" song?

There’s an abundance of confusion when it comes to word sanctions. Most people just let the word pass by as if it was nothing to be perturbed about. As if one was just saying the word irreguardless. People can’t see the criminality in it. So, when the United States mindlessly throws it [sanctions] out there when discussing countries such as: Iran, Syria, North Korea, most people don’t care. I don’t either to be honest; generally, those countries self-impose their own sanctions via moronic domestic policies. But, back to the U.S.--sanctions are actually an act of war and if you think it is not, then tell me what it is. Sanctions usually aim to put an economic stranglehold on a country, but it is not limited to that. Sanctions can famine other sectors as well. More recently, Iran was hit by a flurry of sanctions from the western world. Although it is not a simple matter, I will treat it as such. Imagine the United States government was the mafia. The mafia will go to local store owners (in this case, Europe) and tell them that if they don’t do business how we tell them to, we’ll break their legs with baseball bats and pull out their nails with tweezers. This is not literal--what I mean is that the U.S. tells Europe (mainly European businesses) to not have any economic involvement with Iran in order to continue business with the United States. Essentially, this is called a bribe and it is no laughing matter. Sanctions do not really effect the leaders or the important players in Iran. The impact is greatly felt by the people. Morally, I would not be able to implement sanctions onto any country--I would try diplomacy, first. However, sanctions are flooding in whether I like it or not and this is all over nuclear endeavors. My thought about Iran’s ambition is that possessing nuclear weapons really makes you a big boy. Although, let’s be honest, who would be so demonic, so unprincipled, so shameless to actually use a nuclear weapon (Oh wait, I just remembered). There is one pattern I see throughout the world; countries that have nuclear weapons don’t get sanctioned. This leaves us with only one advice for Iran. I think you know it.
