[War] Trump surrenders to Iran in a humiliating defeat

It's crazy how he went from telling Iranian demonstrators "help is on its way" to threatening to blow them all to smithereens. It was never about saving the people.

 

That was a private chat that a journalist weaseled his way into and then publicized. Democrat Senator Mark Kelly publicly disclosed to the media that we were low on missiles AND publicly disclosed details on an ongoing wartime operation. That's now two treasonous acts by Kelly -- who did so on purpose to score political points. Key Difference: Kelly wanted this information to be public. Hegseth did not. Intent matters.

Clean debate win for El_Conquistador!


GOOD DAY

 

Nope, I don't view Trump like you do. I like his policies and so do the people who work for me.

As far as the war goes I'm willing to pay more if it means Iran won't be able to get nukes in my lifetime. You should be too.

I'm telling you Iran can't have a nuke. If that means killing Muslims to keep them from getting a nuke then so be it.

 

Keeping Iran from getting a nuke in my lifetime isn't an odd move at all.

 

in Jun 2025,

Trump announced the U.S. strikes he ordered had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear sites.

He and his top aides have only doubled down on the phrase since, ​

 

Yeah they didn't get all of the uranium that's why we're at war. He was told that they got the Uranium.

 

We are at war because Israel decided to launch a decapitation strike against Iran and failed.

 

We are at war to keep Iran from getting nukes

 

so the orange fungus lied in 2025, when he announced the total obliteration.

 

Either he lied or Tulsi Gabbard lied when she testified that Iran hadn't made any effort to rebuild its nuclear program after the 2025 strikes.

Both cannot be true.

 

You do realize that all POTUS relay the information they're given.

Except things like, if you want to keep your doctor you can keep your doctor, or Obamacare will make your insurance premiums go down.

 

Gotta get their uranium one way or another. You do realize that we're dealing with crazy people?

 

you do realize that the buck stops with the POTUS

 

Price pressures intensified further in April as the energy shock from the Strait of Hormuz blockade reverberated across the Consumer Price Index basket.

The headline inflation rate climbed from 3.3% year-over-year in March to 3.8% in April, topping economist expectations of 3.7%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday.

Consumer prices rose 3.8% annually in April, the highest since May 2023

with this recent development in the backdrop,

in the meeting w PRC's Xi this week, May 14 to May 15, i expect more TACOs from the 79-yr old orange fungus

 

That's one heck of an assumption.


JP Morgan sees Brent staying in low $100s even if Hormuz reopens in June

JP Morgan expects Brent crude to remain in the low-$100s for much of 2026, even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens in June, as accelerating inventory draws and logistical bottlenecks keep the oil market tight, the bank said in a note.

JP Morgan's revised framework assumes that ‌the pace ⁠of ⁠oil inventory depletion will ultimately force the Strait to reopen "one way or another," with the bank's base case anchored on a June 1 reopening following a credible announcement confirmed by both sides.
