Is there anything specific which has changed in your day-to-day life in the past 7 months? I mean, besides a diatribe about the cost of fuel, did you cancel vacation plans, are your bills not being met, son or daughter not go to college?

That's a lot of frickery to avoid the realities of the situation. This conflict has come at a huge cost to consumers and tax payers.

They're going to do it for cheap Iranian oil and control over the country.


Exactly, and since they cant get any more oil out of the country and have demonstrated no appetite to openly engage the US, Id say its a mute point.

China was getting cheap oil before this started and the country was crumbling, now we have added 300 billion to it. The economics dont work, they had a budget deficit, running out of water, and a terrible electric grid before the destruction.

If this is true, the only deal should be unequivocable surrender.

Common sense enters the chat and they leave, crying "wee wee wee" all the way home.

He is trying to thread the needle. Trying to get the US to back off on one side, and trying to sound tough so the hardliners back home dont kill him.

Well, since you couldn't answer the question... lets see what I did this past Fri/Sat - (instead of clutching pearls):

Accountants paperwork came back (we always file in Aug).. getting back a few thousand. Nice.

Took my oldest to newest bowling league, while wishing I was the the UAB/Navy game.

Drove to on Northport on Sat at noon (business). Had to fill up on the way back ($4.15/gal). Saw just as many people from South Carolina driving over down from Hoover/Birmingham as I did Alabama fans.

Took daughter to see Coyote vs. ACME (a pretty funny movie, which seems to have made a ton at the box office). Even splurged for one of those insane popcorn / drink deals. Theater looked pretty busy.

But hold on to your huge cost to consumers and tax payers.

Because of sanctions it can take months for a tanker to reach china and months more to ensure payment before they deliver.



they had no problem selling millions of barrels to Iraq, mixing it with Iraqi crude, then reselling on the open market. Both countries suck.

Where do you think Iran, and in particular their nuclear capabilities, are now versus where we were before the conflict?

Probably greatly degraded. I’d still like to see a deal that will hopefully prevent them from restarting their nuclear program and also keeps them from continuing to cause problems in the Strait. Of course, with any deal, we’ll have to see if the Iranians will actually honor it.

There are going to be some really upset peeps here if this turns out well for OMB. But, they will rationalize it. They always do.

Slo Mo will do what he always does. He will engage in revisionist history regarding what he did or did not actually say. But right now he seems obsessed with "proving" that globalist organizations like the UN, EU, and the WEF don't really have any nefarious agendas.
