Trump Lost Badly In Iran And Can't Spin His Way Out

[Zincwarrior]

Oil up $2 so far overnight.

Like the Viet Cong of 50-odd years ago, the Iranians have perceived the American superpower’s Achilles heel: “They understand that the U.S. could drop thousands of tons of bombs, but it does not possess the patience to withstand a prolonged war.”

We still live in a country that was fundamentally reshaped by defeat in the Vietnam War, the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s and the economic crises of the 1970s and ‘80s, even if most living Americans do not remember those events. Politicians of both parties must loudly proclaim a quasi-religious belief that America is an exceptional and “indispensable” nation, anointed by God or history or the unique genius of the Founders. To suggest otherwise is tantamount to treason, even if Trump’s MAGA motto seems to carry a heretical subtext: Somewhere along the way, it’s implied, America’s greatness has been lost or stolen or corrupted by corporate diversity programs, NFL rule changes, renewable energy and, of course, Barack Hussein Obama.

I'm sure in his mind the Epstein files have gone away, and we will all just forget about all of the sleaze and corruption, the murders of American citizens by ICE, and the theft of more Americans jobs, healthcare and living conditions to give his Project 2025 pals yet another tax cut.

When trolls like SassyIrishLass and leftwinger and shockedcanadian and Billiejeens and excalibur are the First Responders to a thread on the Failures of Trump, you know you've struck a nerve.

Trump has a history of losing badly -- in business, and in politics (He lost to Sleepy Joe back in 2020 ). He's a loser and he knows that's how much of the world is viewing him.

Good grief. You really need to stop

or this:

You might want to ask your handlers for some time off.

Might as well, everyone knows

maga has been given a free hand in trolling threads and bringing them down.

All Iran has to do is wait out the mid-terms. They know that. Trump is cooked.

Oil up $2 so far overnight.

Baker Hughes is working under the assumption that the Strait of Hormuz may not fully reopen for months, a senior executive at the influential oilfield services firm said Friday.

Baker is one of the most influential oilfield drillers in the world with extensive business in the Middle East. The assumption that the strait may not reopen for months is widely shared in the energy industry.

Strait of Hormuz may not fully reopen until second half of 2026, Baker Hughes says

Tanker traffic through the strait remains very low as the U.S. and Iran try to enforce competing blockades during a fragile ceasefire agreement.

You are very premature

The blockade and economic phase of the war is only a couple of weeks old

According to you the jihadi’s are as comfortable as pigs in a mud bath and can exist without oil revenue for months or years without breaking a sweat

But thats delusional

//Then reality sets in://

The five most important chokepoints are the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, Bab el-Mandeb and the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Panama Canal. Together, they carry the overwhelming majority of the world’s seaborne energy trade, and within roughly fourteen months, the Trump administration has established or deepened U.S. military positioning at each of them.

The world’s critical maritime chokepoints determine who controls the flow of oil, gas, and commerce between the Middle East, Europe, China, and the United States.

Indonesia is now considering tolls for the strait of Malacca.

Thanks tRump.

Iran is receiving oil revenue. China and India are it's two main customers. Trump has a meeting with Xi coming up, and that oil will flow even faster.

Whatever donny is telling you about Iran, the exact opposite is true. Trump isn't winning in Iran, and neither is Israel.

Every minute Russia continues selling unsanctioned oil, and Trump has to run a counter blockade, is giant sign in front of the world just how bad he's losing.

Let Republicans run on an unnecessary war and why $4 a gallon gas is worth it

How are they delivering that oil, Skrewy? By camelback? There is no revenue if the product hasn't been delivered.

It will be $5 gas by end of May.
