Stop using the power of the military as a cudgel.

Trump’s only method of governance or international affairs is to threaten violence. Knock it off. The USA budget for the military has to be cut and those monies returned to the people. This level of abuse of power must end.

If the presidency doesn’t know how to return the Shi’ites to negotiations peacefully then don’t do it at all.

Violating international law is not an option.

Clue: International recognition of Shi’ite sovereignty no different than Sunni. Stop treating Shi’ites as pariahs. Promote alternative methods of energy to remove the power of petroleum. Begin cultural exchange between Shi’ite countries and the international community. Allow fees for passage through sovereign waters when not a favored nation status through trade as defined with the World Trade Organization. Normalize international relations without discrimination.

I am certain Iran has favored nation status of its own.

Balance sanctions with benevolence.
