    Launching military strikes against a sovereign country to destroy their infrastructure and kill their citizens is an obvious ACT OF WAR, and if that's what you're demanding, you are demanding war.

    I have said repeatedly I do not want war, including IN THE TWEET YOU QUOTE. So this is absolutely false. But it does fit with the false and dangerous narrative that any military action designed to deter Iranian aggression will end in full-scale war, which @damonlinker is pushing. https://twitter.com/DamonLinker/status/1142094592810131456 …

        The economic embargo the US has imposed on Iran, preventing both imports and exports is an act of war. The war was started when the US revoked the oil waivers and expanded the sanctions to the petrol refining and mining business.

        Imports are also impossible now that Iran has been cut off from the international banking system, they can't even pay for imports in oil anymore.

        Imposing sanctions on a country is an act of war - and the US has a history of doing this, at least as far back as pre-WW2 and Japan in the 1930s.

        When these ppl say "we don't want war" they mean they don't want a conflict in which they themselves were to face any repercussions. Just a continuation of Full Spectrum Dominance to remind everyone "who's superior".

        Yes, an obvious act of war. We used to easily recognize these things, but the effort to "rebrand" these things to "conflicts" has made it easier for people to argue that military strikes are not always war.

        Neocon and Russiagater logic: Bombing countries that I hate is NOT an act of war. An actual act of war, akin to Pearl Harbor, would be something like spending a few thousand dollars on social media ads during election season.

        Is it aggression from Iran. I think it more from America. We all know they love to blow things up an blame others ed r people to start a war.

        By the neocon definition, Pearl Harbor wasn't an act of war. It was just a limited airstrike against strategic military installations with no boots on the ground. Certainly not something that could cause a huge escalation.
