    Until the next time Iran doesn’t like something and pulls this shit again. Don’t think for a second companies aren’t going to price this new risk into what they charge US in perpetuity.

      It’s not like the U.S. is the only country affected by this. Real people are losing lives down there, and the effects of the war is echoing all over the world.

      I live in a Nordic country, and the group I work in is having our work scaled down for autumn because the company we work for is reducing their budget as they’re unable to ship a significant portion of the iron they produce. Thanks Trump.

      I’m okay with the U.S. taking this hit. I’m sick and tired of the idiots in charge keeping their heads when others are dying because of their actions.

        Now I’ve been very vocal about these assholes losing their heads as soon as we can make it happen…

      What do you mean “doesn’t like something” they were perfectly clear that Lebanon was a red line for them. It’s right there in the memorandum. Nothing about this is surprising. Also they can’t push their luck too much because the world does still need Gulf oil, so they can’t just use it as a free money button.

      They have been very clear about what a deal would require since the beginning and Israel and the US have failed to uphold their end. In fact they had a deal arranged for years that they were happy to abide by until the US and Israel bombed them.

        Oh I agree Donnie should’ve never done what he did. But the deal he negotiated is also shit. At this point it’s a no win scenario, all thanks to the MAGAt mouthbreathers.
