    I need no luck. Your orange goon already chickened out.

    Saudi Arabia is a far bigger terrorist state and the US is a far bitter supporter of terrorism than Iran.

    They dont see it that way. For them, the headchoppers from al nusra and muslim brotherhood are "freedom fighters". Its only terrorism when they taste their own medicine.

    Allies stick together. US sanctions are shared by its allies. To allow the global leader in terrorism to have a nuclear weapon is moronic.

    There's an American senator that said to the Albanian KLA once, if you are with us you are freedom fighters, If you are against us you are terrorists :) Guess what happened, they were removed from CIA's terrorist lists and became freedom fighters in 1998.
    Same with Saudi Arabia.

    Not if he believes it. If he truly does then some folks have been seriously and dangerously brainwashed.

    The UK has an impressive history of doing the right thing. They were, for example, the only country which went to war against Hitler without first having been attacked themselves. They did it because it had to be done. Many other European countries declared themselves 'neutral', apparently not quite understanding the difference between Nazism and human rights and freedoms. Of course they were attacked anyway.

    While the Germans lick Iranian boots. The Germans have had a close relationship with Iran since WWII. Both have strict cultural codes and both hate the Jews. Their deeper philosophies, despite some cultural differences, are closely entwined.

    You didn't post the laws of the sea. You posted an article from globalresearch, a site known for its warm embrace of conspiracy theories. Of course, Encyclopaedia Britannica being a reliable source anchored in stark naked reality, might not appeal to those of us blessed not only with a vivid imagination, but also with a strong penchant to mistake that imagination for objective reality (globalreasearch springs to mind).

    Here's your elusive rule book:

    Now can you finally tell what law from the rule book did the UK violate?

    An embargo is not a blockade. An embargo is not an act of war.

    Embargo and blockade are two different things. The EU is not blockading Syria.

    Russia doesn't send tankers to Syria through British - or other EU countries - territorial waters, does it?

    https://www.britannica.com/topic/embargo-international-law

    The UN Security Council is not needed to establish a trade embargo.

    https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/...ews-sanctions-against-the-regime-by-one-year/

    Does the above quote - from the site of the Council of the European Union - answer your "When was it signed and which international authority does it have" question?

    Yeah, so much right things they did. Starving 40 million indians in the 40th was such an accomplishment. They basicly stole all of indias harvest to feed their own war machine.

    Who cares about a starvation desaster in India after all?

    Or theiy genocide of the Tasmanians. They hunted Tasmanians for sport. So far its the only sucessful genocide in worlds history. Not a single tasmanian survived.

    You ever wondered, why Hitler in many places in Asia is considered a Hero? Because he is the reason the british empire collapsed.

    Not that the life of "brown" people would matter for you anyways.

    Human rights / freedom in one sentence with the brits is satire at its best. The Uk was (toay its just a dwarf) one of the most murderous regimes in worlds history.

    We have close relations to Iran long before WW II. It dates back to Goethe.

    Also the difference is, we are on the side with Iran. We are stronger than Iran, yet we support them. Thats not boot licking.

    What the Uk does, is boot licking. Crawling infront US tyranny. Disgusting

    No it does not. Since Iran is not a member of the EU. The above named embargo is only ruling over EU member states.

    The fact that the EU calls the UK to release the tanker shows this as well.

    I have news for you, Neitehr the US nor the EU can rule over independend nations.

    Even more so, the ship was in spanish waters and spain says openly that UK made an act of pricary ordered from their american overlords.

    If the UK expected support from the EU regarding that, they are more retarded than i thought.

    And ys, Russia sends tankers to Syria through the same area. But the UK would never dare to take a russian tanker.

    Its good the iranians acted and took a british one. The UK must learn respect

    A novel idea; I just wonder why no one else thought about it:rolleyes:

    In the meantime, know this for a fact: with the firepower Hezbollah has at its disposal, Israel will be in ruins in case of war.
