i hope i will live long enough to see America become weak enough so that other countries can sanction them to hell and back.
Iran just had a catastrophic flood(s) Which might be ongoing... And needs Aid as well as a functioning economy. This could be seen as an act of war already.
This is on purpose to hurt Iranian people. The administration of Iran hasn't done anything wrong -- for why the sanctions are there to begin with --.

Good. Raise gas prices before the election, dumbass. Only helps his chances of getting voted out.
Yes. They're still decades away from matching the US, provided they don't hit the same problems Japan did during the Lost Decade (and the Chinese population will rapidly grey compared the US, which is being fed by immigration).
They aren't, but we're more exposed than the US is
I find it highly disturbing that you are OK with 80 million people literally starving just to reduce the chance of Trump's reelection.
Gas prices are already up around $3/gallon right now in my area.
This will surely help things...

Trump thinks he needs a war to distract from the rest of his trainwrecks, but in reality it would just further erode support for his administration.
Trump is playing 10th dimensional chess here. If he pisses off every other country on Earth, they'll band together and build an enormous barrier around America to keep us in. And, boom, he gets his wall.

Yeah, four out of the five are allies, and one is China, whom you really don't want to piss off more lol.
we want this asshole gone. we can't really do anything to stop him from doing this kinda stuff. we aren't cheering 80 million people starving give me a damn break.
He was all capitalist until China started to kick his ass, which illustrates that the USA is a con.
Did you find the Iraq war funny? If so, this will be hilarious to you, a real riot. You won't find anything more funny.
Nobody's getting "inspired." The US govt intends to sabotage the Iranian economy so they can replace the govt with people they want.
Yeah this will never happen. The mullahs will stay where they are
This will only hurt the iranian people and destabilize the region even more
At this point, I'm thinking Trump likes N. Korea more than Ally South Korea.
Any nation that has the death penalty for homosexuality (this includes Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan) should be given sanctions. It's north korea levels of barbarously. We shouldn't go to war because of how they treat jews, gays, and women, but they sure as heck deserve sanctions in my book.
what is the point when the same is not applied to Saudi Arabia and many others?
It should be, and hopefully it is applied there when his successor takes over. Even our allies deserve sanctions for some of the crap they support.
Israel and Saudi Arabia see Iran as a potential military and economic rival. They supported the limits of the JCPOA on Iranian weapons development but balked at the diplomatic solution opening up trade relations between Iran and the international community.
They'd much rather pursue a military solution to Iran because it would hurt them in both aspects (military and economical), and Trump, moron that he is, is getting played to fully embrace their interests to the detriment of the US.
What a Fucking moron.
Yeah, even at Costco in Texas it's about 2.40 for 87. It has been going up about 10 cents per week for a month now.
Gas is still cheaper in the US then it was 20 years ago over here (EU) lol.
EDIT: I know, bigger country and all.

"As of January 2012, Iran exports 22% of its oil to China, 14% to Japan, 13% to India, 10% to South Korea, 7% to Italy, 7% to Turkey, 6% to Spain and the remainder to France, Greece (& other European countries), Taiwan, Sri Lanka, South Africa."

FACK most of those countries are US allies... Trump's out of control... or should I say, he's being QUITE controlled. We need those tax returns.
How the F do you guys afford to live? I'm not trying to be condescending but genuinely curious, that's maddening. I'm assuming the ratio of people who own and drive vehicles is a fraction of us here in the states. More people bike/take public transport?
Hurt people. Destabilize the region.
Oh no it's a radical anti-US regime in place now, we need military action.
The United States 101, solving problems it created in the first place with military intervention.
It's more complicated than that as Trump tried to cause a war with N. Korea when he started out. The only reason there was no invasion is because the S. Korean government took the initiative to force the US to talk. So basically Trump is an easily manipulable idiot. But he is an idiot, so he will go off rails and do what he feels like at the moment in time.
Everyone who buys from IRAN (Read as EU) will be sanctioned.
