I think he’ll make a horrible president, but he’s not wrong on sanctions being acts of war.

"I think hell make a horrible president, but hes not wrong on sanctions being acts of war."
In the case of Iran, sanctions are an act of war in the sense that they acknowledge the fact that Iran is already engaged in a de facto war.
Iran has as its stated goal the obliteration of a sovereign state (Israel) and the destruction of the culture and civilization of the whole western world through jihad and sponsorship of Islamofascist terrorism. In this, it has forfeited any right to respect of its own sovereignty.
If these sanctions are an act of war, it is only a recognition of a condition that already exists. They are a response to the state of war, not its incipient.
