The US government managing to so effectively suppress the price of oil, a natural resource existing in finite quantities, tells you they could lower and control the prices of everything, from food to real estate, if they wanted to do it. Only they don't.
Put differently: the only time the US did something for affordability, it was to support a war effort
@infolibnews Listening to Israelis, one is led to believe genocide is an affair of speech.
One cannot find the memory of the Holocaust more falsified and less cared about than in Zionism.
Upcoming negotiations will fail if we don’t restrain the Israelis & stop giving them access to our decision making.
The Israelis push for zero uranium enrichment because they know it’s a poison pill for Iran & will result in the war continuing.
Iran has committed to not developing or obtaining a nuclear weapon since 2003.
A deal can be reached about uranium enrichment lvls & monitoring - ending the war & opening the SOH.
This can only happen if we treat the Israelis like the junior partner & put our interests 1st.
@IRTruePromise@RapidResponse47 Jesus never ceased to return as a Palestinian, each time to be spit upon and ultimatelly 'decapitated' by local slaves of the Empire.
@piersmorgan Marandi stands as a freedom fighter. He's the living monument of an authentic teacher.
Piers sells freedom of opinion. He's a decaying façade for colonialism, racism, vulgarity, mass killings, state terrorism.
The Blockade of the Blockade
If the greatest pressure on the American government comes from the low amount of oil on the market, then another blockade would tend to push prices even higher and could become catastrophic if the other strait is closed or if there is a new attack on Saudi facilities.
It’s like a wrestler suffering a leg lock who then applies another lock on the same leg, but higher up, aiming to decrease the pain of the first lock.
The idea that Iran will stop exporting oil and have its economy collapse is real, but not in the short term. Meanwhile, the political and economic pressure on Trump, who faces elections this year, tends to intensify in the short term.
This is not a war that Iran did not expect. On the contrary, it prepared for it and certainly has lines of credit with the Chinese. Moreover, in the face of any blockade, it can continue to maintain basic commercial flows through the Iran-Asia railway.
This is a military and diplomatic war for professionals, not for amateurs.
@WeTheBrandon The ziomachine is always about to do something vulgar, stupid and frankly intolerable. The US will only call for talks while still aiming to stab the other in the back.
