I’m not even talking shite. Or choosing to twist facts a certain way to misrepresent them.

I’m literally just looking at what our people in government are telling us on social media, and how it is different from what they are willing to testify to.

But not years which Trump and co. are willing to blockade.

Bow down to your President, eurocat

This does not equal to Iran not being a threat.


To be clear. Not an imminent threat. Just a general threat. That we’re going to be spending billions and can be bled out slowly over time. Due to vague undetermined “threats”.

So when iran tells negotiators they have 460 Kilograms of uranium enriched 60% it's to be ignored?


You mean real estate developers Witkoff and Kushner.

They probably said 460 instead of 500 kgs to make it seem more exact and more believable.

Witkoff had already said he takes Putin at his word that they are not providing support to Iran.

Be sure to include Witkoff at your next big money poker game.

Well, the blockade must continue then. If you were making decisions and your people told you if you quit now the perception is you were defeated. And then they said if you continue for three or four more months you win. What would you do?

I don't know how much of the story is true or not.


But I do know that the media is designed to manipulate the people and that they hate Donald Trump.

The thing is if the Strait remains closed for another four months the world will be in a much worse place. That’s about when shite will start breaking.

It’s a good question dillo. What are the consequences of the continued blockade? I don’t know the answers, but we have to ask the questions as to what the result would be. It has to be analyzed.

We already know it’s going to hurt US citizens. Can it be absorbed? Probably, just very painful for the non stock portfolio people, which is the majority of the country. But what would the outcome be after the pain?

Does this help or hurt future US political and economic positioning around the world?

Do the other oil exporters in the gulf support this?

Use an independent lens. Blind faith gets the cult members killed for drinking the koolaid.

Higher crude oil prices, higher bond market rates, higher for longer interest rates, physical damage to oil infrastructure that will take even longer to fix… could probably think of a lot more consequences.

We have won but we can win more.

Btw, why are you melting over Iran? and yes you are melting. I don't understand the over-concern for it.
