Meanwhile, Iran war

It’s clear there’s a complete lack of communication between DT and Rubio.

Rubio was winging the entire hearing

Only a symbolic action but there were three other attempts that didn’t pass before this one. Just a barometer of the change in sentiment in Congress overtime.

Now we can blame the loss on Congress

Just a guess.

Rubio has joined Vance and is off the reservation.

Oil Industry Warns of Price Spike in weeks

Iran’s strike that shut down Oman’s offshore oil terminal outside the Gulf is a pretty major development, even though it didn’t cause major damage.

Oman has been neutral and mostly friendly toward Iran. There aren’t any US bases there. And they have facilitated negotiations between us and Iran for years.

Aside from reiterating that they can take 1MM bbl/day offline, this is Iran making the point that if they can’t export, neither can their neighbors. I don’t think it was intended to be a crippling blow - I think it was a warning shot.

DT says Iran has not agreed to a U.S. deal because ‘they’re strong, they’re proud’ Trump says Iran has not agreed to a U.S

Is that IRONIC rtcoog?

No, it’s true. It’s a general statement.

So its ironic? Right?

No, I don’t think so. But not going to argue if you think it is. You’re free to think so.

24 billion or else Iran will expand the war.

I told my neighbor to give me 5000 dollars or I’d burn their house down. This is a similar and normal negotiation tactic.

(Yes different because it’s their own nations assets being unfrozen. They are such terrorists though lol.)

I wonder if the blockade is starting to bite?

Still as it ever was:

1)Surrender 2) bomb the crap out of Iran 3) delay choosing 1 or 2.

Looks like another week of option 3.

It’s a little different in that in the neighbor scenario, we set their house on fire first. Plus, it’s more like they’re threatening to burn other neighbors’ houses down because ours is too far away. But other than that… :laughing:

When your allies act like enemies…

Nothing new here, been like that for decades. Only dummies believe otherwise

Is Iran the neighbor across the street? Down the block? In what way is Iran like a neighbor to us? Iran is literally on the other side of the planet.
We’re fighting a proxy war for Israel, who is Iran’s regional neighbor

It appears that Iran is cease-firing missiles at Israel after they attacked Beirut, but I’m sure we’re “very close to a deal.”

Good thing we already won
If they won’t make a deal, we’ll have to win some more

And if we don’t, it will be because someone posted unflattering photos of you-know-who.
