We wouldn't be in this situation if we didn't act like a puppet the first time around seizing the Iranian ship at the request of the US as the Spanish Government has said. Wow, your example of us not being a puppet is us declining to shoot ourselves in the foot a second time upon the request of the US?
We seized the ship as it was breaking EU sanctions re: Syria, we don't follow US sanctions on Iran, you don't seem to understand this thus your unhinged replies.
Iran has provide assurances re: Syria ergo the ship can be released, this was also the case and stated publicly before Iran played silly ******* and just randomly seized a British flagged vessel.
The fact that the US Justice Department wanted to prevent the release and Gibraltar was happy to release the tanker does indeed undermine the "puppet" argument... if the UK is such a puppet then why didn't Gibraltar just follow the Justice Department's request? Hmm... perhaps because Gibraltar is concerned with enforcing EU law/sanctions!
Does the United States have foreign troops on its soil?
This is a basic test. If you host foreign military bases you are a vassal.
The US has a small German military presence actually, the British Army makes use of Canada (BATUS) though regularly deploys troops on exercise in the US.
The thing is, there isn't a threat of invasion there, rather pointless having troops there. On the other hand, Europe, the Middle East parts of Africa... that makes sense!
Where to begin with this. How can you type such nonsense with a straight face?
Iran has to learn to work with the international community?
Yes. Their current antics with shipping, the mine attacks, the seizures of ships etc.. involve playing a dangerous game.
You support the oil blockade against Syria as has been seen in your previous posts. Bizarre - do you get some kind of thrill out of the thought of Syrian civilians dying due to this economic blockade you advocate?
Oil is the lifeblood of every economy in the world yet you support its refusal to Syria which will inevitably lead to mass civilian deaths.
What a revolting sack of **** you are.
There isn't an oil blockade. Unfortunately again you're just off on some uninformed and unhinged rant! Jet fuel is subject to sanctions some named individuals and named entities are subject to economic sanctions. This has been pointed out multiple times in the thread back when you were going off about how the seizure was illegal etc..
