well you over reacted......I never said I was sure it was a good thing either.

BUT you made some really bad assumptions - that this would “enrich” our enemies (and thus more than ourselves). You also make an assumption that all Iranian businessmen are pro Iran and anti American. Also false. THEN you forget to factor in that as a fungible commodity, all energy is a good thing if US interests control it. Oh, let’s not forget, what we don’t do in biz with Iran, Russia will.

Maybe think a bit more deeply.

How is that a bad assumption? It’s based on history and current events.

It is also a bad tactic to put words in my mouth/presume I assume anything about Iranian businessmen. But it would be safe to say, since you yourself broach the topic, that they would not be in business if they were not obeying the state’s goal of undermining the Great Satan.

Russia would do business with Iran no matter what we do. Such as missiles and other components of war. So long as we remain too weak in the arena of foreign policy to stop them. Canard.
