Sanctions against Iran for its alleged nuclear weapons development program are hitting hard, leaving Iranian oil to pile up at ports. What if it were the other way around?

Ted, your just silly, “American” companies don’t have any exports. Pepsi, Coke, and other products are globalized, multi-national companies. The companies may be ran by American’s, but American’s do not, in any way see any of the money, see, by being globalized, the company avoids all taxes and environmental laws, so while the company may have some plants in the US, and sells its products here, it doesn’t have any loyalty to America, nor any financial obligation, so, a ban on American exports, would really just be a ban on American Weapons, and we all know other countries love our military grade weapons and mercenaries. Although Haliburton is probably multi-national too.
. . . and they finger-rape the dissidents.
Beautiful, Ted – thanks !…
