The Iranian Hostage Situation That Wasn't

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35300019

So basically yesterday a pair of American patrol boats were caught in what Iran claims are its waters. The boats and their crews were taken into Iranian custody, and then speedily released after America reached out to Iran.

Here's what basically happened:

Iran: we think these boats might have been spying on us
America: they weren't
Iran: you right fam

That sort of understanding would have never happened under Ahmadinejad.

Iran testing Obama is all. He did what he normally does and ignore it.

They released the sailors almost immediately. What exactly should Obama have done?

Meanwhile, Turkey outright blows up a Russian jet and suffers zero consequences yet Putin is treated like a God on this retarded forum.

They caputred them yesterday, and released the today. They only did so because this Iran "deal" was in jeapordy.

Anything short of declaring war on Iran for even daring to board US ships means Obama's a wuss.

'Forever King' or 'God Emperor of Mankind', but that was in response to the "Obama's taking over!" concerns/threads that were prevalent the last couple of years, mocking really.

If Iran had beheaded them, what would Obama have done iyo?

Still appeal to the greater good of this deal and continue on?

But Iran didn't behead them, so what's the point going with "what ifs".

He didn't ignore it, he had Kerry call up his Iranian counterpart and they solved the problem with diplomacy.

Let's compare this situation to the 2007 seizure of British sailors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_..._Navy_personnel

13 days they held them, and it was a huge diplomatic incident. Now that we have a working relationship with Iran, we can avoid these things.

Do you question the competence of the rightfully democratic elected former leader of Iran?

Look at these warmongering ****s. Look at how ****ing detached from reality the Republicans are. Useless warmongering degenerates; wretched worthless sacks of shit. Republicans are unfit to govern, unfit to hold public office. They say nothing of value; they have no ideas of value; their existence and beliefs are a net negative for this country. On questions of economics, foreign policy, social policy, science, ecology, public education, Republicans have nothing but bad ideas. Their supporters are ignorant, stupid, bible thumping, gun toting, racist degenerates.

This is our future if one of these troglodytes takes office in 2017. War for no good reason, diplomacy abandoned, allies insulted, and enemies empowered.

Yea, score one for dealing.


That's the benefit of dealing with enemies- it makes them less hostile.

Obama didn't have to threaten anything. They just, y'know, saw they had a deal in progress, and was like... "Hmm, hostages, existing deal... eh, existing deal matters way more. No hostages, go back home little sailors!"

Also, we aren't giving Iran any of *our* money.




See what happens when you don't treat enemies with proper bluster?

Why, if Obama threatened Iran more, those sailors would've never drifted into their territory to begin with, I'm sure!


Seriously, Time's more reasonable on this one than you.
