Trump Stated 6 days ago "when the Iran war ends, Oil and gasoline prices will come crashing down!" One more lie, or simply misinformed incompetency?

[Marener]

If they can't spend it on nukes, ballistic missiles or their proxies...do you have a problem with them being rewarded by their neighbors for NOT acting like Russia? Iran's neighbors more than anyone want Trump to be successful. Russia, China and US liberals are the only ones hoping Iran keeps breaking agreements and China's probably one more blockade from Trump away from calling for regime change themselves!

You want to reward them for not engaging in nuclear war?

Sounds like you’re paying them off.

 

[Marener]

So you admit that none of that money is coming from US taxpayers? Thanks for the honesty, Marener! I'm proud of you!!!

So it’s okay to buy off terrorists if you do it with someone else’s money?

6 days ago, Trump stated:



Here is the reality of the issue:

Even if the Iran war ended today, US fuel prices aren’t likely to normalize this year​

Sorry, US drivers, but don’t expect pump prices to return to prewar levels any time soon, even if the US and Iran agree to a lasting peace deal tomorrow.

As the war with Iran enters its third month, drivers have become infuriated by rising gas prices – and inflation – and Donald Trump is facing a historic backlash in the polls. The president promised recently that relief will be swift once the war ends. “I see it going down very substantially when this is over, I think very rapidly too, at levels that you’ve never seen,” he said.

Experts say it’s not that simple. As the saying goes, gas prices shoot up like a rocket and come down like a feather.

Should peace be declared, prices could fall on a kneejerk move, but it will take several months – maybe years – for prices to retreat to previous levels of about $3 a gallon nationally because checking potentially damaged energy infrastructure in the Middle East and unsnarling supply chains takes time, say energy experts.

Just in case you doubt that article, here are other links that say the same thing:

Here's Why Oil Prices May Remain High Even If the Iran War Ends​

Five reasons oil prices won't snap back from Iran war

Trump said they would even go lower than they were before (below $1.83) all of this started:



Is this a bald-faced lie or simply a lack of knowledge (incompetence)?

Trump's promise that we would have affordability this year, has gone out the window

I want to PREVENT them from engaging in nuclear war!

Was it OK when Barry did it with our money?

 

[Marener]

I want to PREVENT them from engaging in nuclear war!

I know. And you think sending them massive amounts of money will accomplish that.

 

[Marener]

Was it OK when Barry did it with our money?

Obama sent Iran their own money we had been holding for decades.

 

[Man With A Plan]

I know. And you think sending them massive amounts of money will accomplish that.

I think bombing the living shit out of them and then blockading them until their economy was on life support HAS accomplished that! The IRGC can bluster all they want but the fact remains that we can bomb anything we want in Iran at any time we want and we can also put another blockade in place that will once again bring the regime to it's knees!

If that were the case, Trump wouldn’t be buying them off.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Obama sent Iran their own money we had been holding for decades.

It was money we owed the former regime before diplomatic relations were broken off when the Iranians took Americans hostage. That $400 million was a ransom paid by Obama for the release of 4 other Americans taken hostage by Iran.

 

[Man With A Plan]

If that were the case, Trump wouldn’t be buying them off.

Trump isn't buying them off. None of that money is coming from the US.

 

[Marener]

It was money we owed the former regime before diplomatic relations were broken off when the Iranians took Americans hostage. That $400 million was a ransom paid by Obama for the release of 4 other Americans taken hostage by Iran.

It wasn’t our money. It never belonged to us. We were holding it illegally.

 

[Marener]

Trump isn't buying them off. None of that money is coming from the US.

Doesn’t matter whose money it is, he’s still buying them off.

If Iran were so desperate, we wouldn’t be giving them any money. They’d just do what we tell them to do.

It’s called “unconditional surrender”.

 

[Man With A Plan]

It wasn’t our money. It never belonged to us. We were holding it illegally.

The money belonged to the OLD regime...part of an arms deal we had with the Shah. Iran didn't get the arms (because you don't deliver arms to a rogue nation that has just taken your embassy staff hostage!) and had been suing the US ever since to get that money back. Obama wanted the release of 4 hostages and used the $400 million as a ransom to gain their release.

 

[Marener]

The money belonged to the OLD regime

So it wasn’t the money after all.

 

[the watcher]

Wars aren't won or lost anymore; they're managed for financial and political goals. There are no winners or losers, just players and victims. It's been that way since the close or WW1, and is staged by globalists and bankers most of whom you will never even know the names of. You and I elect shapeshifters who say nice and promising things, but what is the end result in the US? Wars, inflation, depreciation and redistribution of wealth, civil unease, diminishing quality of life, loss of freedoms, lies and more lies. If it makes you feel any better, it is worldwide, not just here.

If Iran wasn't "desperate" they wouldn't have agreed to cease their nuclear program...open the Straight and stop funding their proxies! Duh? They've NEVER done that before! Trump's blockade brought them to the negotiation table. I have little doubt that the Iranians WILL break that agreement because that's who they are but I don't think that will happen until they've had a chance to sell a bunch of oil and when it DOES I have no doubt that Trump will respond exactly as he's SAID he would respond...by bombing the shit out of them!

 

[Man With A Plan]

So it wasn’t the money after all.

Of course it was the money. Obama paid off a regime that had taken 4 Americans hostage. He just pretended that it was money that was the regime's already!

They agreed to open the strait which was already open before the war.

They agreed to not pursue nuclear weapons which is exactly what they always said.

If they’re so desperate, why do they get so much money?

If they’re so desperate, why are they keeping uranium enrichment?

If they’re so desperate, why do they get a ballistic missile program?

 

[Marener]

Of course it was the money.

It wasn’t OUR money.
