For years the U.S. has worked to isolate the Iranian regime on the international stage, but Iranian President Hasan Rouhani sees an opportunity to reverse that situation, proposing on Sunday that Iran adopt policies to leave the United States isolated.
And he pointed as examples of such “isolation” already happening recent meetings of the U.N. Security Council and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international counterterrorist finance and anti-money laundering body.
“We should not allow the U.S. hand to expand and become powerful,” Iran’s “moderate” president told a meeting of judiciary officials in Tehran.
“Our foreign policy should be of such effect that would make powers condemn the U.S. and reproach it, should it choose to stand against us,” he added.
Rouhani said the U.S. is isolating itself because of plans to impose new sanctions on Iran. …

The UN is DEAD without US money
What we’ll our response be if the impose sanctions on us? Help me help me!
So Iran supports Trump’s trade war is the conclusion. Nothing isolates us more than a trade war.
Well that was the plan for the most part when I voted. America for Americans.
That’s not what “isolate” means.
The “rest of the world” has been engaged in trade war against the USA for decades. How to respond?
Yes. It is one Frankenstein monster that ought never have been brought to life. The “scientists” that did were USSR agents, frankly.
Oh, here we go again. Another tough talking idiot. I remember when Gaddafi charged a US cruiser with a pt boat. Does the name “Custer” ring a bell.
They can do it. We’ll have the funds to feed and house our own without sending it over there, and they’ll starve to death. If you’re going to bluff with a pair, and the flop is showing 4 aces for his hand as he has one, I wouldn’t bet on the river.

But he’s a “moderate”, though. Remember that one?
He is betting on Russia, Red China and the EU agreeing with him on this score. All three have sided with Iran in the past, and especially on Obama’s JCPOA.
Become powerful?? Where has he been??
Probably in the Jamkaran Masjid, looking down the well for any sign of the Mahdi doing some rock-climbing activity.
They’ve been calling the USA a “paper tiger” for decades, trying to make themselves and others believe it.
“All three have sided with Iran in the past, and especially on Obama’s JCPOA.”
I’m also very sure on what you are saying. But none of the three you mentioned can come even close to feeding themselves either. It all gets down to trade needs and for the first time in a long time, we have a president that is carrying a big stick, and he has displayed he will use it. It’s all fine and dandy to try to work together, but everyone has to play by the same rules. And if you don’t want to be consistent with the guy who owns the key to the stadium, you may just get locked out.

Sounds like he wants to finish the job Obama started.
The mice isolate themselves from the cat.
