Militaries use lots of refined petroleum products...gas, diesel, jet fuel...
And while Iran exports oil, they have to import refined products because of a lack of refining capabilities...
And how do they import those refined products...and who do they import them from???
Iran already rations gasoline for its people...
Cutting off access to the Strait of Hormuz would not only cut off oil to the outside world...it would cut off their necessary imports...
I say we double dare them to cut off the Strait...

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: War with Iran?
We should back off some of the stringent sanctions and at least let them import some deodorant, and soaps for cripes sakes. How do you expect them to act??

Another threat and it sounds like sanctions are having an effect. Nice to see some unity on this.

It's good to see that China appears to have put on their big boy pants and are acting a little like the world player they've become.kalm wrote:Another threat and it sounds like sanctions are having an effect. Nice to see some unity on this.
