Theocracy is putrid and should be opposed in all its forms.

That being said… this is not an effective means of opposition. One of the problems with Trump creating new geopolitical enemies at every turn is that he can’t really control Iran turning to another country for economic relief - like, say, China, for one obvious example.

They’ll hurt Iran, but not enough. Iran will suffer, scapegoat the USA, and struggle through it. How do I know this? Cause it’s already happened a half-dozen times.

AP: other than the black market rate change, which mostly affects people trying to get dollars before the whole banking embargo happens, is there actual woe?
