This is the reason it’s laughable that people think their government GAF about a blockade.

The ones in power already accumulated substantial wealth, and control the weapons, food stores. The rest will be forced to suck it up in the same way every other tribe in that region operates.

That’s some clown world logic. If it is true they should just fly Pahlavi to Pakistan and let him negotiate on behalf of the people and put the whole dog and pony show in the rear view.

About half of Iran's stockpile of ballistic missiles and its associated launch systems were still intact as of the start of the ceasefire in early April, three of the officials told CBS News.

Roughly 60% of the naval arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is still in existence, the officials said, including fast-attack speed boats. On Wednesday, Iranian gunboats attacked several commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, shortly after President Trump announced he was unilaterally extending a ceasefire to allow more time for peace talks.

If not for extreme technical support from China that has been built up over the decade, Iran would collapse.
They have given Iran top quality satellite access and are a major player in this power struggle.
They have planned on this for years. America has been ham-strung with poor leadership on this regard thru many administrations.

Trump was given total liquids production which includes NGL's. Both Russia and Saudi Arabia have condensate splitters for a lot of their "oil" meaning it is condensate in some cases. This is used for blending purposes not actually refined by itself. Sort of like water with whiskey.

No reporter is smart enough to ask a follow up question. None of them know much of anything in the real world.

Truthful statement by Trump, a country has to defend itself, and I am sure many of you agree with it.

“Israel has to defend itself, if they are shot at and they will, I will never say they can’t…”

Why isn’t the following statement also true..?

“Iran has to defend itself, if they are shot at and they will, I will never say they can’t…”

NGL's are not used for blending crude stuff. Ethane, propane, butane , naphtha are far to valuable as cracker feedstock for ethylene/propylene derivatives.

They can...and we can flatten the area form which it originates.

It's not as complicated as you are trying to make it seem.

You are wrong, I believe it is very simple.

Let’s treat all countries the same, and put America first.

The US produces over 9 million BPD of actual crude oil. Another 4 million BPD is actually condensate legally turned into oil due Congress in the 1970s to ban its export. It takes more energy and a larger crude unit to refine. It's makes more gas than a pot of beans. A refinery capable of say 100,000 BPD capacity can only do 70,000 BPD of this weak stuff. That puts the refinery into bankruptcy

I well know this but when Trump says we are producing 20 million BPD he's including NGL's. The Pentanes plus can be used in an isomerizer to make gasoline after blending with Straight run gasoline.

Maybe he’s including all the ethanol the great people of Iowa have volunteered to produce.
