Re: Navy destroyer opens fire after ‘harassing’ behavior by Iranian patrol boats [W:1
I'm smelling some sort of a trap that you want to spring on me.
Before the Obama Iran deal, with UN economic sanctions in place, trade limitation as to what could be shipped in and out, and their oil wasn't on the outbound, at least not legally at open market prices (black market is another story, and at cut rate prices), and their economy was strangled, and yes, they were an international pariah. Not nearly as much as North Korea, but not by much.
After the deal, with an influx of cash from Obama, all the western corporations are over there competing for their business, Boeing for one, and probably many others. Flush with cash they are talking to the Russians about weapons deals. They are arming up. Saudi's as well in response, hell, they've got all the oil money. The rest of the ME is going to in response as well. Before long, there'll be a nice shooting war going on between them that'll make Syria look like a kiddie party. Won't Obama be proud.
Okay, so Iran wasn't during the Bush administration?
Are you sure?
