    1. if that is the best case, that is good news for the price of oil, if anyone can read beyond that red thimble . .

      6 years ago he was telling us COVID was going to be done by Easter

      How many times do you think he has shit his pants today?

      i.e. he’s going to walk away in 2-3 weeks declaring ‘victory’, meanwhile the straights of Hormuz will be under de-facto Iranian control with a hefty toll for any cargo ships not allied to the IGRC.

      The US’ allies in the Middle East, Asia and Europe? They’re left to clean up his mess because he couldn’t do it himself.
      Meanwhile China and Russia are laughing to the bank, whether it’s selling renewables (the former), building direct pipeline (the latter to the former), weapons (both), or simply replacing the US ‘positions of influence with all the countries that were fucked over.

      (Worth noting that the primary export consumer for oil from the Arabian Gulf are in Asia – i.e. a lot of the countries Trump would have wanted onside if he intended to curb Chinese influence)

      All the stuff about energy prices, shortages of helium, fertilizer, etc? None of that gets fixed in any way, because Trump doesn’t actually understand that things other than oil come out of that Straight and how prices work on the global market. Instead he hands an effective controlling lever to Iran on it, because now they’ve learned they can actually use it *and* get away with it.

      Pretty sure this has more to do with the fact that after 60 days of military conflict the US military is required to have Congressional approval to remain otherwise they must fully vacate within 30 days from that point…

      This has taught me that Americans, including the market makers, are just absolute sluts for “good news”.

      Trump can just say random shit that people will portray positively, despite all the evidence in front of their face, and everyone from oil speculators to stock market gurus will start doing tricks on it.

    6. Every time the war approaches a previously set timeline, it’s another “two or three weeks”

      This is his go to line when he doesn’t know what to say. Which happens on most topics on most days.

      Can’t believe nothing that comes out of this guy’s mouth

      He should just say he bit off more than he can chew, and step down.

    9. It was 2-3 weeks for trade deals too. Just long enough for most people to forget he said 2-3 weeks, 2-3 weeks ago.

      Can someone, any good and strong leader please kick this piece of shit and his ass licking cronies out of office so we can get back to having a peaceful night’s sleep

      If you buy into this fake news, know that Trump and his cronies are selling. Be very careful next two days buying ANYTHING.
      Go buy canes goods instead.
