  1. Given that Iran is seizing commercial ships, the apt question is, "is Iran risking war with the United States of America?"

  2. ​ @SpicyTake - Creative omission of key details on the part of the author here. Trump did it, and no force was involved. No force was used at all, the owner turned over the oil in the tankers. "The United States did not physically capture or use military force to interdict the tankers. The Greek owner, George Gialozologlou, agreed to turn over the cargo in a deal that would prevent the United States from seizing his ships or imposing sanctions on his company. The United States commissioned third party vessels to take possession of the cargo “with the assistance of foreign partners” and carry it to Houston, the DOJ said. Two of the vessels were seized in the Gulf of Oman, the other two were seized near Mozambique."

  3.  @hankhill6707  - You don't understand the meaning of volition in the law, apparently. My point is, unmentioned apples to oranges comparisons shouldn't underpin your arguments if you are honorably engaged in a discussion. But that's exactly what you want if you are peddling a partisan view of the topic, which I argue is exactly what was being done.

  4.  @hankhill6707  - In the relevant law at issue, volition means the owner had a choice, which he did. I understood your colloquial use, and pointed up its irrelevance regarding the comparative behavior of the US and Iran.

  6. The Iranian trolls are upset with me. I must've gotten under their thin, thin skins.

  9.  @hankhill6707  - He wasn't asked to -- and he didn't -- surrender his ships. You would assuredly understand if you are suggesting the threat of the seizure [was the coercion used to seize the oil contents of the ships].

  10.  @hankhill6707  - Your lickspittle regurgitation of Kremlin nonsense is soullessness incarnate. I hope you obtain the necessary skills required for you to have an opinion that's your own someday..
