New Iran sanctions simply protecting our biggest war crimes ally


Most of the industrialized world is repulsed by our draconian new sanctions imposed Nov. 4 on Iran. Intended to devastate the Iranian economy and cause regime change there, they have nothing to do with Iran's adherence to the 2015 5+1 nuclear agreement. They have everything to do with destroying Iran as a rival to our biggest buyer of weapons of civilian destruction (WCD) and Yemen war crime ally Saudi Arabia. Let's see...the Saudis chop up a pesky journalist at the Saudi consulate in Turkey while dropping thousands of US bombs from US made warplanes on the hapless Yemenis, causing death, disease and starvation to millions. What does Trump do? He says the hundreds of thousands of US jobs the Saudis create buying our death stuff is worth it. Then, he pivots to our real bete noir Iran, ratcheting up new self destructive sanctions the rest of the world will ignore or work around to keep Iranian oil flowing. One tactic will be to move away from the US dollar as the major currency of world commerce.
While Trump is busy imposing sanctions on all of his imaginary enemies round he world, we need to impose our sanctions against the madness of his administration with our vote.
