Iran sharply condemned President Donald Trump’s reported plans to start referring to the Persian Gulf as the “Gulf of Arabia” or the “Arabian Gulf” in his latest push to expand his global stamp.

I am going to both laugh and cry if this is the hill both sides choose to die on. It would be the cherry on top of the Turd Sunday our world has turned into.
lol … alien archaeologists looking at the ruins of our civilization and trying to figure out why we destroyed ourselves … not knowing that we blew ourselves up because we were fighting over the name of a body of water on our maps.
Makes you think that all those mysteries of archaeology from the past of lost civilizations might have happened because of some important significant political event … or because everyone was fighting over a ham sandwich.
That’s gonna be one of the saddest parts. Kids will ask teachers, “Why was President Trump willing to go to war over Greenland?” and the likely reply, “Nobody knows, Bobby. Nobody knows.”
They’ll treat it the same way they treat all history … everyone will justify everything and rewrite the past to make it make sense for everyone alive.
Look at the history and lead up to WWI … the first great war … it didn’t have to happen and it only happened because this country went here, did this and tit for tat, we protect that guy with this guy because of that guy … then full blown war … all because a bunch of rich guys, kings and queens decided that was what was supposed to happen and everyone followed along like unthinking robots. But we write about it and remember it as some great event that happened for some heroic reasons.
Sundae is the desert ewe were looking four.
Sunday is a dey of the weak.
Seeing as they are a human and not superintelligent lady sheep you both got spell checked lol
A lot of it is bluster. But it’s also illustrative of how these names get laid out in the first place. Why is it called Iran and not Persia? Why do so many South American cities and territories have Spanish names? Why is Old New York not called New Amsterdam?
A few bureaucrats in positions of authority can rewrite the map with impunity.
A better question is why was it called Persia and not Iran?
These are the Iranians, if we had a more sane president, they would be the first to die on that hill.
