The sanctions we just placed on them are similar to the sanctions placed on Japan prior to their attack in 1941.
It is reasonable to make the assumption that the results of these sanctions could be similar.
While Ron’s wording on this is very poor, the logic is not.
Cutting off Japan’s resources through the embargo = Attack on the US.
Cutting of flow of cash to Iran = ?
I am not a Paultard. I just think that this whole Iranian thing seems eerily like 1940 all over again.
One thing most people don’t know: according to the D.O.E., the US’s only major source of oil from the Middle East is Saudi Arabia. Our five largest oil suppliers are 1. Canada, 2. Mexico, 3. Saudi Arabia, 4. Nigeria, and 5. Venezuela. We get zero barrels from Iran. Meanwhile, we must kowtow to the totalitarian regimes of Hugo Chavez and the Ibn Sauds and the ever-corrupt regimes of Mexico.
Which poses the greater threat to the US - the uncontrolled Mexican cartels or the Irani mullahs?

Yep.
It's a construction thing, like structured dance steps, being played out right in front of the world. Paul's just pointing out the dance steps.
And the thing is, they aren't even secret dance steps - they're obvious.
All the shrieking about Paul is just being done to cover up that obviousness.
