UN Security Council to vote on Strait of Hormuz

Fair enough. You are not accusing me.

As a reminder of a post I made to you on another thread, 75% of the worlds population live in authoritarian countries. And I would hate to see the UK join them. in terms of freedom of speech being controlled, or even difference of opinion being frowned upon. Link below.

By the way, what do the polls say on UK public support for this war ?

Last poll I saw put UK support at about 28%. I don't support it, as I have made clear. So that puts me in the majority.

I was matching the energy of your you support Trump post.

And you think people here post stuff supporting them ? I can't say I have seen any.

Do you think I support them ?

Only the pp brought up reporting not @Twiglets1no one is reporting you.

But when the org is proscribed later this year mnhq will delete posts that support them online, as they do for Hamas now.

Are you talking about reporting me ?

I have no idea what MN rules are regarding supporting the IRGC, but if it was against their rules would you be reporting posters you suspect of supporting a brutal theocratic organization because they disagree with your position on a war ?

Basically because they don't match your model of ideological standards/purity ?

Is that not what the IRGC do ? And other authoritarian regimes too? Likes of China is famous for that . Gotta adhere to the Party line.

Something like 75% of the worlds population live in authoritarian states. Is that not enough ?

Apologies if I have got that wrong. But there is deffo a theme on these threads. Disagree and you are automatically "one of them".

It's very easy to report but no one would bother as supporting the IRGC is not against MN site rules.

I guess it is difficult to report when you know it is untrue.

I am not accusing anyone of supporting the IRCG

If I thought someone did, then I would report it.

Idk ask them

MN is very good at deleting pro Russian posters on the Ukraine thread, why wouldn't they do the same on these threads?

You have implied that multiple times and every time it has been explained to you how that is not the case.

Do we need to end posts now with 'that does not mean I support the IRGC'?

If you have any evidence of your claim that people here are supporting the IRGC, I hope you have reported that to MN

(and yes I know you didn't address me on this occassion)

I’ll return your post with that’s how I feel about your posts and support for the IRGC.

Nice try though you can ask others.

Iran allows French ship through Strait of Hormuz

Iran has allowed a French ship through the Strait of Hormuz a day after Emmanuel Macron criticised Donald Trump.

The Kribi, a Malta-flagged ship owned by French logistics giant CMA CGM, is the first Western vessel to exit the Gulf since the war with Iran began.

Ships from countries like China, Pakistan and the Philippines have safely passed through the strait in recent days.

Mr Macron, the French president, hit out at Mr Trump on Thursday, questioning his war goals and accusing the president of contradicting himself.

He also said reopening the strait using military force was “unrealistic”.

Iran’s military said the strait would remain closed to the US and Israel in the “long term”.

But the regime is believed to be operating a “toll booth” where vessels are charged up to $2m (£1.5m) to cross the strait, through which 20 per cent of the world’s oil normally transits.

Ship tracking data showed the French-owned vessel navigating the strait close to Iran’s coastline. It is unclear if the Kribi paid a fee.

The UK said on Thursday that it would “comprehensively reject” any attempt by Iran to charge ships fees for transiting through the water corridor.

I don't support the IRGC. I am just plain old against war. Especially this pointless one.

I’ll return your post with that’s how I feel about your posts and support for the IRGC.

Nice try though you can ask others.

Cool. I don't use social media. I get news from Sky and CNN mainly. I just wondered.

I do think what Trump posts is very important though. He did start this war after all, and he is the main player in it. And as you do appear to support him in it, I thought you might know what his words mean.

I don’t do X or TS, tweets are not what I rely on. I listen to the radio a lot which is great for analysis and have a news app. I’m not really the one to engage in screen shots of tweets.

Re that line people will be as sure as you are on what it means, which is ‘who knows’.

I mean Trumps social media post:

“With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE,”

That is what Trump wrote and posted. Who do you think "we" is ? And does he mean steal ?

As a matter of interest, if you don't pay much attention to what is put out, where do you get your info from? You appear to know a lot about what is going on.

The Insurance stuff never happened. Trump said it would then nothing.
