This is some serious cope. The gift to us supposedly, is allowing a pakistani outfit to ship oil to a different country?

And not continually, just one day? That's not going to make the slightest difference in the market?

I suppose it's better that something is getting through than nothing, but Iran didn't really give us shite ha

Can’t be! The never Trump clowns said Iranian propaganda was right and he wasn’t negotiating with anyone! muh regime change is the only win
regime change is the only W. Otherwise, this whole thing was stupid. They will still fund terrorism and suppress their people. But I expect you to say nuclear blah blah blah. There’s no proof that they were anywhere near it and even if they were, Trump stated that we destroyed it in the first strike.

Are these 8-10 Pakistani flagged tankers bringing oil to America?

It's not fake news

It's that it isn't the big gift that Trump hyped it up to be

It's a very minor positive and only you and OP are falling for the idiocy of this being some monumental win

It’s all going to the World market stable genius, so yes it affects the US. I am sure you already knew that though

So, the "gift" is allowing the strait to operate as intended as long as it isn't US or Israeli tankers?


Just let them have their little moment

I did.

It was for the benefit of the others who might be confused with claims of free oil gifts to the US.

So are we currently trying to prop up a group within the Iranian government and this is their way of motivating us to choose them to lead going forward?
If so, that’s encouraging.

Exactly. But is it encouraging for the Iranian people and for regime change?

you're too stupid to say anything to so you can curb your expectation.

I say things to people until they prove themselves too stupid to make it worth it. You past that point a few clicks back

If Trump ends this now I will be the first to praise him.

Do the right thing and put America First. AMERICA FIRST.

Ah nice, I'll let you know why celebrating this is even dumber. This "gift" is nothing more than a power play by Iran. "We control the strait" "We deigned to give you this 'gift' since you're whining about the price of oil" "De facto control is ours since you've accepted this gift"

They played ol 47 like a fiddle.

tough concept to grasp. Muh regime change = boots on the ground.

not so tough to grasp for the 50-100 guys who keep trying to take the lead and get blown up vs. the ones we take "gifts" from
