Iran to sign deal

[citygator]

Iran won't last that long.
Even if the dems win the House and Senate, there is nothing they could do until next March or April. Odds are republicans will keep the Senate, the House is a toss-up.

Can you spell "Budget Shutdown"?

Trump claims secret mission helped move 100 million barrels through Hormuz last month, and "and that's why it's at $85-90 a barrel instead of $250"

Global oil consumption runs at roughly 100 million barrels per day

Is that the level of information and advice President Trump receives? Or he has no professional advisors anymore?

Take out one bridge on the railway and they are out of business.

We could pay someone to do it

Why? One Tomahawk will do more than enough. Possibly a drone with a Hellfire misile.

The straits only account for 10% of the oil worldwide.

I vote in the affirmative.

I thought it was closer to 20%

20% of world energy demands, actually.

Maybe. The world can do without it either way, but it makes it more expensive. Gas is down to $3.25 a gallon here in TN.

Do you understand why? It might help you make a cogent point, if you did.

So how may bbls were lost a day when Hormuz was closed? Hint: About 20m bpd

The war would be long over by the time democrats would pass a budget.
But point taken, even with no war, the budget process would be a mess.

If Iran is just playing Trump, why are they losing so many top leaders to allied bomb blasts?

They've all been replaced, and more are waiting in the wings.

Iran has been planning this for decades, and has splintered into more than 30 individual autonomous groups around the country to perform management and leadership. As planned.

Most of us know this.
