It must be tough being tone deaf and illiterate. My position is that we are going to sanction states that target US troops than we should sanction all that do so. Not just pick and choose. If Russia's targeting of US troops was as this President said a hoax. Then how are we to know that this isn't one too. Especially given how desperate this President to boost re-election chances and being the prism through which he views everything, and given that he has recently replaced key US intelligence positions with political cronies. And open your eyes to the Saudis. They attacked us on 9/11, armed militias that supported ISIS that attacked our troops, committing atrocities in Yemen, and recently committed an act of terrorism on a US base on US soil that resulted in the deaths of 3 US Navy men.
Sadly, the world isn't beavercleaverville. Sanctioning Iran isn't "unfair" if we don't sanction other countries that are larger, more powerful or have something to offer of benefit to the United States or its allies. And if it is, tough, Iran can sit and spin for funding terrorists.
