First, we have no allies among the globalists, so who gives a shite what they want or think. Second, the U.S. does not get its oil from Iran, and he does not mind temporary pump pain as a Chinese invasion of Taiwan will make your oil prices look like chump change compared to the near total loss of semiconductors, and you’ll get the oil prices to go with it. Once typhoon season arrives, the blockade will likely be lifted.

Of secondary importance, Iran can no longer afford to pump money into supporting the apeshite crazy Islamic terrorists. Russia is bogged down in Ukraine. Venezuela is playing nice. Shall I go on?


You frickers are concerned about a few dollars at the gas pump and not at all with the full frontal assault on US sovereignty. Take your Nuland/Sullivan shittastic foreign policy and shove it up your arse

Because if it isn’t above 90%, then at some point, they are going to feel it (even if they had massive oil reserves to start with)


Even if they started getting zero oil today, they have four months of stockpiles, that we know of. They most likely have another month, maybe two that we do not know of. So far this action would not even choke off a quarter of what they import(price increases tell us very little oil has been stopped).

Hell, we still import to them. If this were about choking off oil to them, why do we still export to them?

No it wouldn’t. Their drones would be useless against forces the positions of which they don’t even know. The US would not have battle lines with Iran, as Russia has with Ukraine. The US would slice through the Iranian forces in two or three days. The only way for Iranian troops to stay alive would be to join us or go underground.

With the IRGC underground, the regular army would be turned and would be hunting the IRGC in their hideouts


Thanks my man. I needed that. My day will be awesome after reading that. You should go pro. You are very talented.

This weird redefining of "globalism" to include China and Iran as "globalists" is so rhetorically bankrupt

I mean, I know the term is so loose and malleable it loses any meaning, but this is literally including the primary opposition to the general concept of the term, as being part of the term. It's insane

Sorry my man, I moved out of Utah about 2 years ago.

Come to Iowa they said. You will love Iowa they said. Yeah, it is nice and extremely green here now, but it gets balls cold from Dec1 to March31 and the wind....the wind is almost like a tropical storm every damn day. Glad this is a 5 year max destination.

Still got the house up on the benches of North Salt Lake. Will probably keep it in case we move back after retirement. You in Utah?

I live in Metairie, but I have a house in Charleston, UT (Heber Valley) since 2013. Heading there on Sunday. My wife and I spend a lot of time there during the summer, and I make three or four ski trips during the winter. I got one day of skiing this past winter because the snow was so bad.

The Heber Valley has been on a building binge since about 2000, I’m told. Since 2013 it has been an uninterrupted development surge. It has been remarkable to watch. The 2034 Olympic award is adding fuel to an already out of control fire. It’s not the farm town it was when we got there.

I envy you. I absolutely love the Heber valley. Always wanted to move out that way. It is centrally located to all the good rivers. Commute to work made it a no go.

We go back a few times every year to see the grandkids. We rent out our house, but it has a private 2bd/1bth in-law suite we stay in. I can't wait until August. I will be there, knee deep in as many rivers as I can get to, enjoying hopper season. Will make a stop for a burger over at Granny's, in Heber, at least once on my way to/from the river.

Yeah, youngest son works in pro shop up in Deer Valley over the winters. He said they had no snow this past winter. Sorry about that. Hope you get better next year.

Different methods and different outcomes. The key is the elimination of the NGO middleman.

Executive Order 14169, “Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid,” states, “ The United States foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values. They serve to destabilize world peace by promoting ideas in foreign countries that are directly inverse to harmonious and stable relations internal to and among countries.”

To respond to the resident divorce lawyer, every NGO has been hijacked by European globalist interests. Who is going to manufacture Europe’s goods? Who is working to undermine the sovereign interests of the United States? I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.

We can't, at least not at a price we're willing to pay in terms of lives, armaments, and money.

That's the simplest explanation for why we aren't doing something we'd all like to see done: we just can't.

So no answer…got it.

As for their reserves, why are you trusting China’s numbers?

Lastly, we are selling them oil because they are buying.

That makes them (in the short term) dependent on us (at least to a degree).

Any questions?

Sort of a mirror image of President Trump, who's on video making a public declaration: "I don't think about Americans, and their financial situations."
