Well I Was Wrong For Underestimating President Trump

[ChristisKing]

I was thinking that the blockade and ceasefire wasn't going to work and Iran had him backed in a corner and that they were never going to negotiate. Thankfully, President Trump is a whole LOT smarter than me and he had a plan this whole entire time.

Robert W - The Justin Amash tweet I posted is demonstrably correct.

Trump on March 9 :



Trump on April 23:



So your "fake news" emoji is what is fake news.

The only way to truly win in Iran is for the Iranian people to finish the job. They've been cheering the attacks on the IRGC, but they must make it the Iranians who finish it.

And they have no desire to. We get fed this line over and over and oddly we never learn. In Afghanistan the Taliban still run the place and in Iraq they are marrying off 9 years olds.

"But it will be different this time".

When Trump asks how long was Vietnam someone needs to remind him how that was a waste of time and how he avoided it.

You are but one of many, but many cannot admit to it.

What you are underestimating is the control that Israel and the globalists exercise on our government.

Never mind .
At least you tried , even though you got a 50/50 problem 100% wrong .

What War ?
What blockade ?
What Cease Fire ?

You are watching Theatre and all the top IRGC leaders have second homes in America and Europe and send their kids abroad for schooling .

Did we win?

 

[ChristisKing]

This isn't about Vietnam. Trump was just making a point of how things take time, but this war is practically over at this point.

Agreed, but fear is what's stopping them.

You are but one of many, but many cannot admit to it.

I know. Even many other conservatives lost faith in Trump.

Did we win?

Pretty much now that Trump has Iran in checkmate.

Irreversible Reservoir Damage: Shutting down oil wells can cause permanent damage to reservoirs due to shifting underground pressures and chemical interactions, reducing future output potential.



Well I didnt understand this, but according to everything Im reading their oil production will almost die. Perm damage to their oil production without firing a shot.

No wonder they been trying to hit other OPEC countries oil.

Hmmm. 3D chess

Hmmm. 3D chess

Bingo! I take back most everything what I've said about Trump as he truly is the greatest president ever. He's a conman alright, but he's using that ability for something great because he had an awful lot of people fooled into thinking that we had lost. Myself and a couple of my real life friends included.

Im reading Fracking it can restore pressure but it may not ever go back fully.

Problem is Fracking takes water. They dont have much of that there.

Iran may have permanent oil production damage if the flow doesnt start again.

Now that leads to concerns of Kuwait. and Oman having the same issue?

 

[ChristisKing]

The other thing that I have shame about is that I shouldn't have wanted Trump to reveal his plan. Now I'm afraid that Iran could use it against him since in this case loose lips literally sink ships.

Big Dogs already know it. OPEC is splitting up over it.

OPECs power in the world just got smashed. UAE is now threatening to attack and so is Saudi Arabia.

Interesting

iran is pumping oil into persian gulf

+2

As of early May 2026, satellite imagery has identified large, fresh oil slicks off Iran’s Kharg Island, confirming significant oil spills in the Persian Gulf amid a US blockade that has stranded Iranian crude, with some reports indicating oil is being released into the sea as storage tanks reach capacity. [1, 2, 3]
Key Details as of May 2026:

• Source of Spill: The spills are concentrated around Kharg Island, Iran's main export hub, and near the Lavan Island refinery, which was damaged in recent operations.
• Cause - Storage Crisis: The blockade by the U.S. has halted most of Iran’s oil exports, filling up shore tanks and tankers, forcing Iran to use tankers as floating storage.
• Environmental Impact: The spills are causing a major environmental emergency in the Gulf, with oil reaching protected areas near Shidvar Island.
• Strategic Context: Following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran continues to produce oil despite being unable to export it, leading to the crisis. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

This situation is causing major concerns regarding environmental damage to other Gulf states as the slicks move south. [1]

Iran may be pumping oil into the Gulf to maintain pressure.

Thanks DukeU for enlightening me

Okay I get Trump's plan now but this is getting serious!! Now, I'm worried again.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Trump can just say, "We won, it's over," and bring everybody home, and Iran will not interfere with the Strait.

Globally the move away from Iran is moving.

The world will take them out of the equation

That is why Venezuela got hit. Pipelines getting built around them. If Iran stops pumping oil out of the ground their wells will lose pressure and not pump oil later.

The clock is ticking on that.
