Having lifted sanctions on Russian oil, Trump now lifts sanctions on Iranian oil as well, because of his Hormuz Strait chaos.

@randahl So there are no longer sanctions on Iranian oil... if you can get to it without your ship being blown out of the water.

@Karen5Lund @randahl

So Trump gave Iran the cards? 🤔

Because what if Iran says, "Thanks, but no thanks. We don't need it, we'll manage."

He can't destroy the country (he thinks he already did), he can't take over these ships because then Iran will blow them out of the water.

And he can't tell the Americans that petrol will stay expensive because that is not what they want to hear from him. 🙂

@randahl whomever is doing the Darth Putin "I remain a master strategist" accounts is going to need to do double duty with that line.
@Randahl Fink i it obvious, since quite some time, that trump is completely mad and mentally deficient to a point where normal people would have been sent to an instituion of some kind. but this stuff shows that also his environment, his "advisors" are zero level intellectuals. could one even call them "advisors" ?? the only people atm gaining anything from this situation are fossil fuel magnates. like putin or some of the us-american billionaire class. it is a total chaos!
@randahl Child rapist is also a clusterfucker. Who'd have thunk?

@randahl

The strategic mind of a 3 year old.

@randahl
At this point, I just find it grotesquely funny
@randahl The Iran oil discussed here is currently out at sea, but Iran says there is no oil available and Trump is just manipulating the markets.
