"We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER."

"The White House reacted angrily Monday after a report revealed Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, has been privately texting Iranian officials in the hopes of resuming peace negotiations — but the texts have been ignored."
Kierkethumbs up convincingly@_L1vY_ whyy won’t they trust the donald?!?
Chris@Kierkegaanks @_L1vY_ one week later - it's a good thing, actually, that we gave alaska to iran
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@_L1vY_ Oh, did it react angrily? Did it really? Well have I ever. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Can we now talk about what the world is waiting for? Basically for a bunch of Congresspersons to stop fucking WETTING themselves, drag this guy out of the half demolished White House, in front of a judge and from there to the slammer where he belongs. And then on with the rest of his gang of fascist traitors.
Land of the brave indeed. 🚮🚮🚮🤬🤬🤬

Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@_L1vY_ "Send all your warships to the Gulf" is code for "Putin asked me to get you to send all your warships as far away as possible from the Baltic and the Black Sea". It seems that not many have fallen for this.
Paul Healey@TimWardCam @_L1vY_ The fascists totalitarian world order is a war against the democratic rights of diverse interests; against a Federation of Sovereign Republics. It is for the antitrust monopolies of corporate tech, so cannot win. It is a war for a losers and cowards ecocide! #EcocideWars
Hudson@_L1vY_ so now we lift sanctions on russia so there can be another war in that region?
@Kierkegaanks Nothing would surprise me 😖
Khurram Wadee ✅@_L1vY_ Hope it stays that way.
DB@_L1vY_ The limits of iron power. Guess the regime didn’t appreciate how effective soft power can be…before they dismantled it. Now, what?
Tody MotmotI think the regime fully understands how effective soft power can be, and that's exactly why they are so desperate to destroy it. They would eagerly burn down a house with a family trapped inside, if it meant they could get away with stealing 20 bucks off the table in the process.
It's voters that ignored the incredible strength of soft power, and who blindly cling to Hollywood fantasies that hard power is something more than pure stupidity run amok
@todymotmot @_L1vY_ Hard to argue with your take on this. All valid points
Because when Putin says, "Jump," Trump asks, "How high?"
