Much as they did several times last week, and several times the week before that, and indeed innumerable times this year, last year, and the year before that, the US today vowed that there would be new sanctions against Iran in a matter of weeks.
This time the pledge came in the form of comments by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D – MD) who promised that the United States would act “sooner, rather than later” in more harsh sanctions against Iran for its civilian nuclear program.
The comments came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again demanded that the US enact “crippling sanctions” against Iran, blocking the nation’s gasoline imports in the hopes of crushing the government. Netanyahu made similar demands earlier in the month, and several times last month, and also innumerable times since coming into office last year.
But once again, the prospect of the sanctions, despite US optimism, seems slim. Russia has repeatedly opposed “crippling” sanctions, and said it would only support very limited sanctions targeting just the nuclear industry. China for its part again declared today that it remains firmly in favor of diplomacy, and says negotiations, not sanctions, remain the best way to solve disagreements.
The US continues to isolate itself.
Uncle Sam is like that senile mental patient, long since off his meds, who sits in his wheel chair staring out the window and every so often starts shouting about "conspiracies, sedition etc.." The rest of the world has to play Doctor and Nurse to this political pyromaniac making sure he doesn't escape the loony ward like before.
Would you want to be in a foxhole beside Hoyer?
Hell no! First off Hoyer wouldn't have the balls to do the dirty work himself. He'd, like the rest of those wrinkled lying bastards in DC, send some poor schmuck to die in his place.
Stimpy Hoyer is right on cue. Stimpy does his master's bidding ever so faithfully. Bibi "demands crippling sanctions" and our Pavlovian Zionist, Stimpy Hoyer, salivates like a rabid dog. However, Stimpy should understand that "sooner" is not always for the better. Is our Pavlovian Zionist going to take up a gun and go gets 'em all by his lonesome? Oh hell no! Stimpy plans would send America's boys and girls to die for Israel and Stimpy's Very Own will be nowhere near the bullets-and-the-bleeding. Seems there was a time assclowns like Stimpy were known as "chickenhawks."
