The war in Iran (or whose war is it anyways?)

"The problem with [manifesting any of the 7 deadly sins] comes from degree.
A little bit can be understood as just being human.
But the problem comes when one shows a total indifference to the suffering of others, like murdering those people in the fastboats near Venezuela." R5 #280

I think that's a very important point.
Pride in workmanship for example, or a well deserved reputation for being a benefit to the community, not sure that's a sin at all, let alone a "deadly" sin.

"Gluttony" is intrinsically excessive. We all eat, but not all eat to corpulence.

As you know R5, I'm not all that enthusiastic about the supernatural guy in the sky stuff.
But I think despite obvious shortcomings, this basic guidance at least seems to me to be well-intended.

What to know about the Iran war today president Trump said Thursday that the U.S. would launch "very hard" new strikes on Iran within hours and seize vital Iranian oil infrastructure, including Kharg Island, "in the not too distant future." He later told Fox News he wasn't sure "America has the appetite" for what he'd like to do.

Siezing land is a totally illegal act.

Trump has already seized the Gulf of Mexico semantically, now ostensibly "the Gulf of America". :cautious:

Whether we Kharg or not, will we Cuba, or Canada, or Greenland? Allowing this maniac back into the white house was an devastating blunder. The east wing is gone.

Odd how ethics could go out the window so quickly.
Of course it could be everyone knew Vietnam, Iraq, etc., were all attempted land grabs all along?

I may not have been opposed to the U.S. War in Vietnam from the start, but from the first I learned of it.

I never got the impression it was a U.S. land grab, or a French land grab for that matter.
Israel nibbles away at Palestine by occupation, habitation.

Cabrini–Green homes were in Chicago, not Chau Doc.

Nope. "Better dead than red." The domino theory. The U.S. was afraid of global communist conquest.
