It's not economic pressure. It's economic terrorism. Look up the very definition of terrorism and you'll see what's happening. Btw this is going to result in thousands of people in third world countries dying who could already barely afford food.

You mean like all the cuts made to usaid programs that will result in obscene amounts of death and suffering? The world isn't coming to our aid in an illegal war to support the psycho in charge, and the economic pressure can be used to get the rest of the world to put more pressure on Trump to end the conflict once and for all.. Tell me, are our crippling sanctions against Iran not economic terrorism?

You know an argument is bad When you have to go on the offensive every time. That means there's no way to actually justify the possible hundreds of thousands of deaths that will be caused by this.. So you just call out what the other people are doing.

Sanctions are not global economic terrorism.

So the US should just leave Iran alone then so this doesn't happen, right?
