Yes, wind it down. Do you think Iran will say bygones and suddenly unblock the Strait of Hormez, give up their nuclear program, and rein in their proxies, or continue to do everything in their power to hit the U.S. back? SO fucking dumb.
I hate saying this. And I want to state I'm uneducated on Irans ideologies and culture, but Iran looks like a boss right now. And America's culture is pretty shitty in terms of how it's abused... Like legal abuse is America's game. It feels like America is a Mafia. Or like the kkk... It adopts a highway while it rapes life at the same time.
The mafia comparison is actually spot on, that's what we have the IMF for. "Nice country you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it. Why don't you take out some exorbitant loans with my friend here, slash your social services and open your resources to corporate pillaging to pay for them, and I'll park this aircraft carrier nearby to keep an eye out, make sure nothing unfortunate happens to you."
Let's see him wind down oil related pricing over the next year. Gas, LPG, fertilizer, plastic, oh and all the stuff we ship just got a fuel surcharge...etc. The daily SPR output isn't even going to touch these knock on effects.
LMAO as if that is even on the table. The only way this ends is the US giving up their unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east.
And we know that ain't happening.
Can he mull "sunning down" a bit more?
Says one thing, does another.
