From Saudi Arabia ... not from the U.S.
“I wouldn’t doubt if Valerie Jarret and company aren’t in on this. Just my paranoid opinion.”
I think her mother is a high mucky-muck in the Muslim Brotherhood. Good chance you’re right.
Actually, the IRI was afraid of Bush
Idiot Bush took out Iran’s biggest enemy, Saddam. In place of Saddam’s check on Iran, Bush sponsored the creation of an Iran- friendly And with secularist Saddams heavy hand lifted , the jihadis ran wild through Iraq, genociding the ancient Christian community. —- all on Bush’s watch
And Bush spent (or borrowed) trillions to create this disaster. Funny how a lot of “conservatives” only get worked up about wasted trillions when AOC or Bernie are proposing it. We can throw trillions down Middle East ratholes and lots of “conservatives” don’t raise a peep
It went back down because the Saudi’s said today they will be back in full production in a few weeks and the worldwide supply can easily absorb a few weeks.
Again, thanks to President Trump turning the US into a net exporter.
While we no longer need ME or anyone else’s oil. The rest of the world does. And, the economy is NOT just an American economy. The markets are interconnected.
Again, no one is talking war. We are talking about retaliation. Big difference.
While we no longer need ME or anyone else’s oil. The rest of the world does
Then let the rest of the world handle it. The fact that it’s not being seen as a crisis by them reinforces the fact it’s more manufactured hysteria by neocons and warlovers like Lindsee
“It went back down because the Saudi’s said today they will be back in full production in a few weeks and the worldwide supply can easily absorb a few weeks.”
In other words, no crisis. Just an excuse for Saudis to lobby us into military action
Hope I’m not seeming disrespectful, but we’re you a supporter of Bush’s invasion of Iraq? If so, have you learned nothing?
Reagan’s foreign policy was a success. And he launched no wars. Bush’s was a disaster.
“Sanctions are killing them”
It’s hurting them, because they can’t send money & arms to all their proxy terrorist groups around the globe, but not killing them. It’s very bad for the Iranian people, but the regime doesn’t really care about them.
[Trump is emulating Reagan instead of Bush. Reagan stayed clear of Middle East wars, wmeven after our marines were killed by terrorists. The neocons denounced him for “showing weakness”. They were more successful with George Bush - he took the kind of advice you’re giving. It destroyed his presidency and elected Barack Obama]

I just watched a clip of the previous pResident saying “you can’t just drill your way to lower gas prices.” We did. We also may have drilled our way out of many costly foreign entanglements.
Baloney. John Bolton and the globalist mutants who pay his salary have been clamoring for “regime change” in Iran for years.
Iran is the number one exporter of terrorism. They are developing nukes and ICBMs, they are led by religious fanatics who believe out is their moral responsibility to end the world sop as to usher in the last Imam. They re not Iraq Mr. Trump
Reagan attacked BOTH Iran and Libya. I know. I took part in BOTH attacks. He did so for the exact same reasons President Trump will do so when he deems it necessary.
Reagan, as Trump, were/are both reluctant warriors, so to speak.
Graham, Bolton, etc..are not reluctant. They are eager to do so at the drop of a pin.
“jihadis ran wild through Iraq,”
Because he didn’t take down the Iranian regime when he had the chance. That was the biggest mistake of his presidency. Iran was vulnerable at that time and the IRGC was a fraction of what it is now.
Look, Linda, the mullahs don’t care how many of their soldiers die, how many of f their planes or boats are destroyed. What they care about is money and power. Weakening them financially is the best long game. Ask 30000 eighteen year olds who died for in Vietnam if war is always the best answer.
Excuse me? Who did President Trump just fire last week?
Who did President Trump remark that he disagreed with and told the media during an impromptu presser advocated to attack everyone and anyone at a moments notice.
And, President Trump did so with obvious mockery.
A golden oldie.
I don’t believe you’re paranoid at all. The globalist are desperate to bring down Trump by crashing the economy. Fortunately, Trump hasn’t taken their bait so far
With that said, I believe Trump will act if Americans are killed. Once valerie jarret and company figure out that is what it will take to make Trump take action....then don’t put it past them (jarret and company) to take action to have Americans die. Yes, little paranoid opinion also
“, the mullahs don’t care how many of their soldiers die, how many of f their planes or boats are destroyed.”
I’m well aware of that.
“Weakening them financially is the best long game.”
Only if you don’t let up.
There are other avenues along with sanctions, before war.
Yes..emulating Reagan and emulating George Washington who urged in his Farewell Address for USA to avoid foreign entanglements.
