Iran Sanctions

Postby Мастер » Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:49 am

An article from a Hong Kong new outlet that is usually regarded as the best newspaper there, although there are sometimes questions about its independence from the mainland government.

The author is thankful that Trump will save the world from a potentially devastating conflict with Iran, by resisting Bolton's inclination to fight everyone around the world all the time. It doesn't mention that the reason Bolton has influence is because Trump appointed him.

But, I find the picture of the Iranian crowd in Tehran burning a homemade (and badly made) US flag, which appears to have perhaps eleven stripes and thirty stars.

If there were no sanctions, presumably they could proudly burn a proper US flag with thirteen stripes and fifty stars, made by God-fearing unionised labourers in America's heartland.
