Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[briantrumpet]

It does seem suboptimal.

But 'phew', at least for now.

If Iran does get $2m per tanker of oil, maybe I'm a bit perverse in seeing that is a 'reasonable' cost, given the relatively low per-gallon cost and its effect of helping rebuild all the stuff the US has destroyed. Also, it's a continuing incentive both for Iran to facilitate transit and as an incentive for renewables.

But it raises the question of what was the point of the war? We weren’t paying £2million before.
Has it actually achieved anything meaningful for US?

The point was to show that Trump is a fucking imbecile, and it's done that to perfection, with the world ending up in a much worse place than when he started it.

Another thought. The ceasefire is meaningless.
What does Iran get for opening the Strait for two weeks only to be bombed anyway?

Looking at those conditions, it has to be meaningless, surely? No way agreeing to those is anything other than a climb down.
Donnie does like his TACO on a Tuesday though.
Expect another freak out Friday.

Waiting to see what Israel will do next to sabotage the situation.

The story of Trump’s 15 months in office.

Did you see the ITV news on Vance's visit?
Netanyahu: [on Orban] "He's been a rock"
Vance: "He has made this country prosperous" [The poorest country in the EU]
+ Putin saying kind words.

Effing unbelievable.
I get the feeling Bibi and Putin are quiet allies?

What measure are you using?

 

[CXRAndy]

Certainly one of the safest, like Poland

Just kidding 😂

Trump has pulled it off. He was always going to do, the ramblings were all theatre. Fuel prices spiked higher under sleepy Joe Biden.
Now it’s time to be kinder to one another.
Good day!!!

A possible time for minor celebration but it must be remembered that this is not the end. It is just a pause, and only if everyone agrees.
I’ll breathe a bit easier once the US military has been withdrawn, and not until.

Pulled what off?
He’s damaged the economies of the Middle East. Killed Iranians and achieved very little. Whilst also alienating his NATO allies and showing Iran to be more powerful than before.
I can’t see how we are any better off now than we were 6 weeks ago.

I thought he meant his wig.

The ceasefire terms are clear

Everyone agrees Trump is the bestest cleverest boy, and pays Iran to use the Straits.
