    bout sums what up mate? Annexation of territory from sovereign nation by NATO and Israel - set a bad precedent and anyone with a little common sense realizes it.

    That about sum up what you are trying to say ? .

    Let's see the sequence of events: 7 armed belligerent nations attack the sovereign state of Israel in a brazen violation of their sovereignty and clear casus belli. Those 7 armed belligerent nations proceed to get their **** absolutely violently pushed in in front of God and everyone on international television by the Israeli's. When the international community finally BEGGED Israel to stop raping their attackers, and the dust settled, those armed belligerents had not gained a single acre of Israeli soil. Rather instead they had lost ground to wit the Golan Heights.
    What do you call the Israeli's defending themselves from invasion and taking territory from one of the invading neighbors in the process? Proper spoils of war.

    Now lets examine Iran:
    Iran claims the US ****ed with it.
    So Iran sashayed into international waters, and in a brazen act of piracy seized the shipping of GREECE.

    Greece did not deal the injury it claims, the US did. Ergo, Iran is simply engaging in piracy.

    What does Iran have to do with Israel/Nato/Russia - annexing soverign territory. Nothing in my post suggested such a connection .. and as such you are having some fantasy conversation with yourself .. rather than addressing "Reality" .. and you have desperatly trying to promote this fantasy for a number of posts now. ..

    Is there a point somewhere in this random blather ? Nato had its reasons for annexation .. as did Russia. Iran had its reasons for piracy .. Israel has its reasons for killing journalists .. and targeted assassinations of political figure ...Got it .. What is your point ?

    I understand you must really like the facts I posted to you .. but, don't think reposting these facts over and over .. to the person that made you aware of facts to begin with - makes a whole lot of sense and in your words .. is getting quite boring.

    Reality not your strong suit mate ?

    I saw that .. Looks like "Do as we say - Not as we Do" don't taste so good .. as soon as the other Do as we do. Perhaps throwing out rule book not such a good idea... go figure so obvious even a Court can figure it out.

    I don't understand why the Greeks thought they will get away with something the Brits couldn't get away with?

    Right now Greece is a vassal state to the US because of the Turkish threats and the idiot globalist Mitsotakis, who keeps selling out his own country. The Iranian tanker was seized under orders from Washington for who knows what reason, other than to create problems.

    From what I read, the oil from the tanker was taken by Washington, so let's see if they are willing to return it?

    Then I guess Iran will replace the cargo in other ways.

    Greek oil tanker seized by Iran holds oil that was headed to the U.S.
    The Prudent Warrior holds oil worth more than $100 million that was bound from Iraq to Texas.
