Trump's narrative: The USA won the war on the 2nd, 4th, 10th, 13th, 15th, 23rd, 27th, and 32nd days.

Iran was completely obliterated, then on the verge of getting nukes, then obliterated, then getting nukes, then obliterated, then Trump needs $200 Billion more.

The strait was open, closed, about to be open, "other countries are coming to help", "why won't they help", "fuck it I don't care they can get their own oil", now "OPEN THE FUCKING STRAIT YOU CRAZY BASTARDS"

@selzero

Regarding the Strait -- through which 15 ships passed today -- what happened?

You'll see stories that say Iran gave in. That's bullshit.

Here's what happened:

On Feb. 27, the price of oil was ~$70 a barrel. Trump did something vile & stupid.

Today, the price of oil is ~$108.

A good chunk of that additional $38 goes to Iran as a toll & the rest goes to Trump's sleazy cronies.

Because oil is profitable at $70.

So you now pay ~50% more for gas and the US has wasted billions of $.

@edsanders2 @selzero best part is that the toll must be paid in Yuan or Bitcoin. So Iran is now sitting on a steady Bitcoin flood that cannot be sanctioned and is helping the adoption of Yuan as a global currency. I personally wish the Petrolbitcoin would win, but either option doesn't need the USD at all. Trump's pretty much shot himself in the foot imho
