Governments aren't people and neither are Corporations.

America and Australia are Crown corporations, just like Canada and many other Imperial states throughout the world

Are you Australia ??? are you a government suckup???
Or are you just an Australian citizen getting dragged into the BS like the rest of us?


I am an Aussie citizen getting dragged into the coming # storm with everyone else. Generally when someone references a country, it also includes the inhabitants of the respected country.


I genuinely think that if you see it that you are looking at boards like these from overly personal point of view.Usually people are not talking about a countries population but their governing factions.

I think Iran just backed themselves into a corner all on their own by making the threats to close the straight.

I dont think they actually thought, with the state of the world economy, that con tires would risk more damage to their economies by banning Iranian oil.

I think Iran compounded that by making the threats to close the straights. They already backed off of their threat to attack a US aircraft carrier if it returned to the Arabian gulf. Will they follow through with the closing the straights threat?

Honestly I dont think they have a choice. If the back off that, then they just lost whats left of their credibility. That will adversely affect them with negotiations. Iran has managed to back themselves into a corner where the only options they have left all negatively impact just themselves.
