Make A Deal With Iran & And You Get Safe Passage Thru Hormuz

BWAHAHAHAHA, just like Krasnov's tariff shakedowns, give Iran something and you get safe passage.

Crude oil just dropped a bit because Iraq just made a deal with Iran, previously China, Pakistan, and India have deals with Iran. As a matter of fact Iran is shipping more oil to China now than before the war started.

I fucking love it, the market gurus are pricing in the oil disruptions just for Krasnov, so they say, there is still about an 8% reduction.

Hey Krasnov, just like you did to countries with your tariffs, just give the supreme leader wheel barrows full of money, in rials and not dollars and he will let US ships through Hormuz.

There is talk that Iran is negotiating with China to pay for its Iranian oil in yuans and not the dollar, I haven't heard if that is happening yet.

Want to know the kicker, Krasnov brags about bombing Kharg Island, but he didn't go near the oil facilities. If Krasnov destroys the oil facilities on Kharg, the oil disruptions will go from our current 8% to 20%. Crude at 8% reduction is at 100 dollars a barrel, it will jump to 125 dollars a barrel or more if Krasnov touches those oil facilities. Yes, blowing up the Kharg oil port will devastate Iran, but what will the consequences be?

You have straight talk and then you have bluffing.

There's folding too soon and there's patience.

And there's reading the other players.



I get the feeling that Trump has never engaged in a spirited game of poker.

to stick to deals than the US is at this point.

So, how long before he demands that ships of the countries that have deals with Iran be blown up in transit to "teach them a lesson"?

He is such a pile of excrement....or a pool of it.

Krasnov wouldn't dare touch a Chinese oil tanker. I see that the upcoming meeting between Krasnov and Xi has been canceled.

Krasnov is putting an oil embargo on Cuba so China has stepped in and is supplying solar,

Everything that Krasnov touches, dies.
