China hand tools (you know that cheap shit like you see at the dollar store) hammers for 100.00 each. Use your imagination and think folks. China, Russia, France and Germany. Follow the money
the REAL question joe is if america would be among those opposing sanctions if they were trading in billions?
I do not expect you are anyone else to see my perspective on every issue. But I would like it if a little bit of the truth even just a little bit would shine through all the bullshit you see and hear. They say money is the root of all evil. I say they may be right. Money does not loose its evil depending on the righteousness of the country it is influencing. When Chirac proposes more discussions instead of sanctions. Just consider the motive. America could have been influenced by Iranian money but we never got in bed with them in the first place.
Like stopping oil-imports on pure principle. At least untill the saudis let women drive and the beduins get citizenship. This might seem good on paper but it sucks for USA in real life. Even if USA dont buy iranian oil directly, you would pay the price for santions. The price of available oil would rise above 100$ and Iran would keep more of that oil for when it is really valuable. Do you understand ? And please lay off Chirac. He is your socialist buddy.
The beauty of the system is proven. Fuel cost went up oil over 70 Dollars a barrel. As a result BMW started producing test hydrogen vehicles. There is plenty of oil out there we have not tapped 25% of it yet. But if they want to price themselves out of the market and make it feesable to produce alternative fuel vehicles then they can be my guest.
