      …sooooo this article is the dumbest thing I have seen in quite awhile. O.o And I keep seeing stuff Trump says, so the bar is high.

    2. Didn’t Sam Altman rape his sister for years? I’m guessing he did it for a tax break

      A naval blockade is still an act of war

      April 29th is 60 days after the initial strikes and then 30 days to remove US troops from harm’s way

      Iran can wait it out

      Unless the mango mussolini wants to throw ~$1b/a day + rising gas prices to maintain his illusion of strength

    4. Don’t worry oil futures prices only go down. US has an unlimited money printer to manipulate whatever the fck it wants to

      Fake online newspaper with AI generated articles that didn’t exist before the war on Iran but claims it was established in 1987.

      The phone number on the registry tel:+354.4212434 is that of a known crypto currency scammer that speaks Polish with a Russian accent.

      His blockade has only been in effect for hours. I think you mean Isreal and US unwarranted bombings and targeted killings. The closing of the Strait was in retaliation to that.

      * Iran exported 47 million barrels in January 2026. China bought 90% of it, or 43 million barrels.
      * So: The U.S./Israeli “excursion” reduced China’s Iranian oil imports from 43 million barrels per month to 12 million per month.
      * And Xi is going to give that orange clown a “big, fat hug” for this?

      It says “has cut”, not “will cut”. Is the past tense a translation error or something? The blockade has only been in place for 2 days.
