#DictatorDon's Energy Sec Chris Wright on #FnS just made the same moronic claim #TraitorTom Cotton made:
"[By repeatedly threatening] the Straight of Hormuz, #Iran has been terrorizing the world's energy supply for 47 years, and that's why the strike on Iran was necessary."
1] We had to wage war NOW because of something that has been going on for 47 years.
2] He just confessed this is a #WarForOil.
The most ironically named senator in Congress, "Yosemite" John Kennedy, argued on #FnS that we had to attack #Iran NOW without Congressional approval b/c Iran "was reconstituting it's nuclear program" (that was supposedly "obliterated just 8 months ago) and threatening it's neighbors (which it has been doing for 47 years.)
Will SOMEONE explain to these jackholes the meaning of #ImminentThreat?
"American forces attacked part of #Iran's energy infrastructure last night."
🤔
WHY?
Certainly not a security threat. The only thing this accomplishes is to cause oil/gas prices to spike.
And who profits from THAT? #NoWarForOil
#DictatorDon's Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Wallz on #MtP just claimed "#Iran started this war in 1979."
Again... will SOMEBODY explain to these #NeoCon jackholes the meaning of #ImminentThreat?
The roots go back to 1953 and the UK-US overthrow of Mosaddegh. All because the UK was upset with the loss of control over Persian oil.

@Memologoped
Every #Republican commentator today in response to the resulting spike in #oil prices due to the strike on #Iran is arguing "Iran has been threatening the world's oil supply" and the rise in oil prices is being countered by "Drill baby, drill."
No.
The result will be more people buying #EV's... most of which are made in Europe & China b/c #Republicans have demonized/defunded #Green Technology & disparaged electric vehicles. 🤔
