Trump proposes “joint venture” with Iran.

[CowboyTed]

Why can't 'renewables' support a growing economy? Why do you give China a pass on new coal plants, after all America is a growing economy too.

Really they shouldn't but even these new plants are part of a plan switch to more renewables over time...

This is the China plan

That graph is meaningless....Say, are you a Chicom? How did you get secret grid plans from China? Is that graph CCP approved?

 

[Leo123]

No one is saying a sudden switch...

Grind in EU and China are moving away from Coal and Gas and on to Renewables...

Denmark are the ones leading at the moment

They have come along way in 25 years...

Denmark's EV market is booming, with battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) accounting for 68.5% of new passenger car registrations in 2025 and over 94% of private car purchases in February 2026.

Denmark is less reliant on oil... Their economy will be much stronger for having cheap Wind energy.

They've been moving away from oil for decades now. What happened? Nothing really. They will never get rid of fossil fuels.

You can’t make this up.

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Wednesday morning that the U.S. may seek a "joint venture" with Iran to safeguard the Strait of Hormuz, following his Tuesday announcement of a two-week ceasefire.


"We're thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It's a way of securing it -- also securing it from lots of other people," Trump said when asked whether he would allow Tehran to charge tolls for shipping to transit the strategic waterway. "It's a beautiful thing," the president added.

Iran live updates: US blockade of Iran's Strait of Hormuz ports to begin Monday

President Donald Trump says he has agreed to suspend a planned bombing attack on Iran for two weeks if Iran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

This war was a disaster by every conceivable metric. Now Trump all but giving permission to Iran to charge tolls through the strait. Trump even calls tolls a “beautiful thing!” They did not impose tolls before the war. Hormuz was open, and now it is closed and Iran decides who passes and who doesn’t.

When will MAGA learn that Trump is a king…the king of fu** ups.

Message to Iran:

DO NOT EVER TRUST DONALD TRUMP!!! He lied to his own people and he lied to you. Why on earth would you EVER trust a smidgen of his empty words? He'd stab you in the back in a split second.

Sure, Syria and Iraq says stuff it

non-sequitur

Being militarily strong (bully) doesn't generally win in the world, especially with fanatics
BOOTS ON THE GROUND FROM THE AMERICA FIRSTER'S

You haven't been paying attention if you think Iran can survive without powerplants.

 

[kyzr]

A lot of the ships are Chinese...
Is US going to seize Chinese oil because they can get through the strait....

If the oil is from Iran the tanker should get seized. Iran would get no oil revenue.

LMAOROG, They use coal because they are a growing economy, but you ever hear about batteries?

Totally false, but Xi Jinping appreciates your free promotion, useful idiot.

"AI Overview"

"China’s economy is experiencing a significant slowdown and stagnation in dollar terms rather than an absolute, sustained contraction, largely driven by deflation, a weak yuan, and a property crisis. While Beijing targets 4.5–5% real growth in 2026, its global share of GDP has shrunk from its 2021 peak, causing its relative economic weight to decline.
Key factors impacting the Chinese economy as of early 2026 include:

• Stagnant Dollar Value: While domestic output (in yuan) grows, domestic deflation and a weak currency mean the dollar value of China's GDP has stalled.
• Property Crisis: Home prices have fallen around 30% from their 2021 peak, hurting household wealth and confidence.
• Weak Consumer Demand: High savings rates and low confidence have led to subdued consumer spending.
• Reduced Global Share: China’s share of global GDP peaked around 18.5% in 2021 and dropped to roughly 16.5% by the end of 2025.
• Lower Growth Targets: The 2026 target of 4.5–5% is the lowest since 1991, reflecting a new, slower reality."

Nah, America is an ADVANCED economy, China is getting there, I should've used that word

Although some analysts argue this transition is part of a deliberate move towards "new quality productive forces" rather than old, construction-driven growth, the immediate result has been a significant reduction in global economic sentiment regarding China's growth trajectory. As discussed in, the shift in China's economy requires focusing on the new economy rather than the old.

Another huge loss for the Islamist, Libnutts and Rinos

The only loss is Trump's sanity and it was gone a LONG time ago.

So, the two biggest threats to the Straight of Hormuz should protect the Straight of Hormuz from who, exactly?

From each other?

How about if the US just doesn't attack people, then it'd be open. Simple as.

How is it that Trump can't see that? How is it he couldn't see that in FEBRUARY when all other Presidents managed to SEE IT A LONG ******* TIME AGO?

This might work even better!

A total blockade of Iranian ports, while all other ships are allowed to pass or escorted through the strait.

Exactly. Seize all ships with Iranian oil, like we did with Maduro. No oil revenue.

Most MAGAs do not believe the outright lies that your side tells

This thread is an example of how the anti MAGAs operate

Ok, trump did suggest a joint venture with iran

Which is a crazy idea with no merit

But it does imply that the mullahs will remain in power

Which is exactly what i dont want to see

Only in MAGA land are Trump's own words considered falsehoods.

Is it any wonder then why many consider Trumpism a mental illness?
