Bold Move Cotton

 May be an image of text that says '#TerrenceKWilliams Iran is is demanding cash and cash a U.S. retreat to end the war. Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee says the conflict will only end if the United States pays full compensation for damages and completely withdraws from the Persian Gulf.'

How long is this guy gonna last before something kills him?

Related: We decline your request to be fucking idiots about this little war.

There's a recurring theme about how the world should work in that the people living near where resources are extracted should benefit from said extraction.

That they should have wealth and comfort from it.

Here's one for y'all.  It's not required.

If, say, France needs oil; then a French petroleum engineer can figure out where it is, bring a bunch of French roughnecks in to drill for it and then use a French team to set up pumps, pipelines and wharfs to get it on ships crewed by French sailors.

There's no need to pay a single, say, Iranian for any of this except out of common decency.

The world has seen what it gets for giving common decency to the regime of the past forty some years.

So, Mr Rezaee, you've been paid as much as you're going to get.

Perhaps some decent folks who will reciprocate with decency when they receive it will take your place.  We might help THEM rebuild.
