        I’m not OP, but I can understand subtext so I’ll translate for you:

        I’m not a religious person in fact I hate religion in general…

        […however, I understand that it is very common for established religions to have a character that represents pure evil…]

        …but more and more I’m just starting to think this guy is evil incarnate…

        […lending validity to the idea that religious folk actually are right about something, specifically a person being “evil incarnate” existing among us…]

        and it’s spreading across the world…

        […which is also a common trope in established religion that evil spreads and must be pushed back against]

    The problem is that the US and Iran don’t have anything that will get them close to getting a peace deal. Even if the USA were to leave the region, Iran’s claims on the Strait of Hormuz would likely trigger a continuation war as nations with ocean access to the strait wouldn’t accept the toll which Iran is trying to charge.

      That’s nonsense.

      They will pay to get their oil out because it’s more profitable than leaving it in the ground. None of the nations near the straight have a chance against Iran since even the US can’t win. So no one will go to war over paying a toll.

      They’re just bitching because it eats into their profit.

      Iran would not have charged a toll without the war in the first place.
