    wow imagine only 1 small country in caribbean vote with US on Iran sanction out of almost 200 countries in the world. How far US gone down in term of international diplomacy/influence. Not even aussie/UK/canada/france/german supporting us on this

    So the "accord", which correct me if I'm wrong, our staunchest "traditional allies" are still party to, may now be safely ignored by them since we are no longer part of it. Oil talks, and we all know what walks. Our "allies" have ever been ready to slip a shiv in our back when it suits their national interest, as we theirs. The way of the world.

    The irony of Germany aligning itself with a country that promotes terrorism throughout the region, is aligned with Venezuelan dictatorships, and wants to exterminate the Jews couldn't be any more revealing.

    the irony is NO countries except one (a small no political influence country at that) support US. That tell you how far US gone down in term of trust/diplomacy/influence under Trump. i mean almost 200 countries, Pompeo can only get ONE dominican republic to support him, thats pathetic. where is the respect in that, seem like the other 199 countries give Pompeo the finger. I remember Pompeo was saying OUR allies was with us, only Russia/China will against the vote before the resolution vote. realty seem like EVERYBODY was against Pompeo instead.

    For decades, the US has been close allies with Saudi Arabia, one of the most totalitarian dictatorships in the world and an avid supporter and financier of terrorism. Oh, the irony. Nothing but typical Washington hypocrisy.

    I sometimes think the only allies we actually have are Israel and Australia.

    Unless these allies are going to send weapons to Iran, there will be no conflict. It might be a problem for Russia and China, if they were to send weapons by sea. Russia could simply send the weapons by way of the Caspian Sea. They would not be the subject of US inspections. The Chinese could send weapons through a land route. That would be through Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Again those shipments would not be subject to US inspections. So, what would be the problem?
