Do any geopolitics experts know if Iranians like water?

Was it a war crime when Iran threatened the desalination plants of the gulf states a week ago?

It doesn’t really matter. You can’t kill innocent people just because someone else is killing innocent people. If there was a school shooting and the police shot up an entire classroom of six year olds and said, "Well the shooter was killing innocent people." That’s not an excuse.

I never excused anything, I just asked a simple question.

Was "It doesn't really matter" your answer, because I don't see a yes or no.

There wasn’t another reason to ask the question because the answer is obviously it doesn’t matter who commits a war crime. I could sense you were fishing for a way to excuse Trump so I was preemptive with it.

I'm glad we agree it was wrong for Iran to threaten the civilian water supply.

Hmm… I sense you don’t really believe that threatening civilian is bad.

Because you are only condemning one side for it…

Why haven't you condemned the open air slave markets of Mauritania?

When you avoid a simple moral question, I get the sense you are on the wrong side of the issue.

Slavery is bad, I hope that helps.

Iran has 90 million people, how many people live in Mauritania?

The population numbers don't change whether slavery is immoral.

Your silence on this is deafening.

It changes how relevant it is if the country has 5 million people and Africa has 1.5 billion people.

0.3% of Africa didn’t outlaw slavery until 2007. Hold on, is 2007 in the past? Woah! They’ve outlawed slavery.

Most people haven’t condemned Mauritania. Why? Because most people don’t know Mauritania exists. Why don’t most people know Mauritania exists?

Because it has 5.4 million people and there are 76 cities in the world with more than 5.4 million people.

I didn't say anything about the law, because they have slavery today regardless of what is officially allowed on the books.
