    Iran was being sanctioned before the attack too. A lot of people act like any enemy of Trump is their ally, but this is not so.

      Nobody is claiming that. This is just an idiotic straw man. You don’t have to support the government in Iran to understand that invading countries is wrong. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

      With the express and publicly stated purpose to bring so much physical economic pain to the people so that they revolt against the gov’t.

        The alternative is to trade with the totalitarian regime, which serves to keep them in power. If you could support the people but not the regime then of course that would be the best course of action, but that is not how it works.

          We are trading wit an tolitarian regime called saudi arabia. It is not of canada goddamn business to force iraninas to take out their own regime. It ia not like Iran want to attack Canada.

          We all know all the sanctions are there simply because Iran was made an enemy of the usa and israel

          I presume you care about the nature of the Iranian gov’t because of its impact on the Iranian people. If that’s the case, you should check how sanctions are affecting the people of Iran and in general what outcomes regime-change sanctions have produced around the world. Cause it may turn out that the sanctions hurt the people you care about a lot more and for a lot longer than the gov’t you’d like to see gone.

          Also check under what conditions better governments emerge out of worse ones. Hint: it tends not to be under severe sanctions.
