If you think this Petrodollar war has something to do with Epstein, you’re as batshiite crazy as Candace. (Wait…was that an Egyptian intelligence plane ✈️ that just flew overhead?!)

If you claim this war has nothing to do with Epstein, you're either a fool or a liar.

And calling it a Petrodollar war is misleading - from ignorance at best, but more likely from deception.

We live in a blackmailocracy, in a world full of other blackmailocracies and Epstein was facilitated such blackmail.

They haven't released the files, nor the tapes, and haven't arrested anyone for the crimes they were being blackmailed for.

They certainly won't release who else was facilitating blackmail and who's taken over for Epstein.

The governments involved in this war don't even call it a Petrodollar war. They claim it's about nuclear threat, human rights, and all kinds of things but not a Petrodollar war.

Since you know better, let's hear more from you about it.

Relying on ridicule shows that you have nothing behind your points.

We both know there's no reason to fly overhead to gather intelligence when dual citizens in government will send it anyway.

If you think this is primarily a petrodollar war you are... simply mistaken. (I’m a more polite person than you, at least initially. But, we shall see.)

However, I’m NOT going the direction you think.

I agree this war has nothing to do with Epstein.

:-)

Nor do I discount the importance of the petrodollar to keeping the USA great, or the vast benefits the US will gain by ending up with leverage and / or good working relationships with all the world’s most major oil and gas suppliers except Russia. (I don’t discount Russia in the long run, but in the near term I don’t think we are going to have it in a great harmony* with us. Hopefully in the long run we can.)

Ok, back OT: I also do not denigrate the hopes of millions of Iranians for a return to at least a sane government that manages Iran’s resources for the benefit of its people, and doesn’t slaughter them by the thousands for protesting poor economic conditions or lack of water.

Nor do I discount that a well working Iran and a well working US - Iranian relationship would be fantastic for both countries and indeed the entire free world.

However, THE over-riding concern here is exactly as President Trump has explained: These evil religious zealots in Iran cannot possibly be allowed to gain nuclear weapons. We have seen for decades what they do with the power / ability to kill. At a minimum, their possession of nukes guarantees a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, and anyone who doesn’t perceive the multiple paths to disaster for the rest of the world that follow needs either some enlightenment / education or... some other things...
