It’s not so Iran can make more money, it’s for Russia. Also it helped distract us from the fact that indicted bibi is continuing with a 2nd genocide for his Greater Israel sideproject.

Actually yes, because this allows him to regroup, move slow moving carrier groups into position and secure oil supplies/put measures in place to keep at least Red Sea/Suez open when he continues it. Possibly also see who at CENTCOM has been reluctant to carry out war crimes, and do some more replacements there.

I can’t believe how people are falling for it, every time he pumps and dumps. This isn’t going to stop. It will only get worse. One guy is a blackmailed pedophile with demential and the biggest nuclear arsenal, the other is a criminal delusional religious radical who would rather die, than give up this Greater Israel crusade.

I’ll be another few years before we get to Christmas.

Don't forget, this was also a distraction for the Epstein files release and the fact that he raped children.

it’s for Russia

Americans shitting the bed in the Middle East every day for fifty years

"Yeah, uh, actually that was Russia. Russia did that."

Aren't all ships paying in Chinese Yuan, not Russian Ruble?

China has more to gain from all of this than Russia.

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

china still gets an oil squeeze, where russia doesnt. They are also allies so its not that bad for either of them. But certainly it isn't any type of 'victory' for the USA. They're pretty much losing on all fronts.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

China would have gotten an oil squeeze IF they hadn't worked out a deal with Iran to let Chinese oil tankers pass through the strait.

I believe you're getting cause and effect mixed up here.
