@RufusGLPB@WSJ Hundreds of boots on the ground took part in that pilot rescue mission that wasn't really a pilot rescue mission. Wait till you hear the truth about that one...
@GordoCDA@SQUABABA Like the hero pilot we had to go rescue who never really existed? The laundry fire that permanently knocked our flagship carrier out of the war as soon as it got there? There's a lot more you weren't told.
@GordoCDA We weren't just dumping our Strategic Reserve on the global market blow market price we were giving it away for free. Really. 172 million barrels of the SPR were given away for free.
@Dogotron@Nostre_damus@Breaking911 It doesn't matter whose money it is, the US is authorizing it's release to Iran to spend however they want. They didn't have it 3 months ago and without our surrender they don't get it.
@Aliciafromfl@Osinttechnical That spike is still coming. This abrupt surrender is so they can say it's only temporary when it hits us like brick in a few weeks.
@willmrry@DarioCpx If it were possible to artificially suppress oil prices in perpetuity then why haven't we just always done that instead of fighting wars over the stuff?
@mdubowitz You advice is to make another deal with the intention of breaking it? Negotiate in bad faith is your suggestion.
And you wonder why they hate us.
@scandlenjosh@JavierBlas They aren't wrong, it's still guaranteed to happen. Manipulating the futures market with billions of dollars only worked so long.
@JavierBlas Why do you think Trump was so desperate to announce a "deal" no matter how bad it is? He was told what's about to happen and needs to be able to say "it's only temporary since we have the deal!"
