Trey Yingst reports on US forces' rescue of missing airman deep inside Iran
Fox ^ | 4-5-26

Very surprising report from Yingst, who said he spoke with Trump for about 15min. Trump told him that earlier on in the year, we sent lots of guns for the protesters through the Kurds. The Kurds kept the guns. This was part of Trump's "help is on the way".

Trump also told him that he feels good about a deal being made tomorrow.

One would expect that the Kurds are getting word that there are some Persians and probably others who would deeply appreciate it if they would deliver them now... say this week...

Moral: don’t trust the Kurds.

'Trump also told him that he feels good about a deal being made tomorrow.'

Deal? As if that solves anything. There is no deal coming. Nobodies making a deal with anyone threatening to destroy their country.

Some are okay, some aren’t. They have a history of being screwed, and they may have decided that this is partial payback.

I hope we’re putting a lot of pressure on them to deliver them.

So, we should not be making a deal because the Iranians have been threatening to destroy our country for 47 years? /S

The Emperor of Japan made a deal.

The remnants of the German government made a deal.

The Mexican government made a deal in 1848.

The Spanish Empire made a deal in 1898.

The Germans made a deal in 1918.

Perhaps I should have named that Iran Propaganda guy as Tehran Theoria?

I think at least one Kurdish group lives in - or borders - the area were the F-15 Weapons Officer was rescued.

Distributing small arms to anti-government Iran residents would have been an instant death penalty, so maybe they could not recruit enough Kurds and Iranians to get the job done.

Sounds like a CIA directed plan.

They’re pro-West and also committed to fighting the crazies in Iran. The US has a less than perfect record of support for them and may have failed them for whatever reason, but the Iranians declared open season on Kurds for donkey’s years!

Non of them were Muslims. Deals are made with people who are rational. Muslims- the radical fundamentalists- are anything but.

47 years? Why does that matter. We have looked the other way for alot worse.

China helped butcher Trumps peers in Vietnam and the prior generation in Korea. They financially crippled the world via covid pandemc nonsense and have continually cheated America via trade and other economic factors and we and Potus looked the other way.

No country post WWII helped to kill more Americans than China, yet they continue to get praise from Potus and investment from our companies.

A deal is entirely a creation by Potus.

Not just Muslim but 12’er Shia Muslim! A flavor of Muslim who desires a apocalyptic cataclysm.

President Trump has done more to protect America from China than any other President.

Taking out the theocratic regime in Iran is a severe blow to China. It is where they get much of their cheap oil. It is who they depend on to keep American power away from China, engaged in the Middle East.

CCP isn't concerned from oil. Pay attention.

India, Korea, Japan, Europe, all down the drain.

Market forces place more impact on oil volatility toward Western markets and redoubts.

China's use of coal and electricity has helped dramatically on this oil nexus.

Hormuz oil = only 6.6% of China's total energy consumption.

SPR: 1.2-1.4B barrels = about 6 months of buffer.

EV penetration: >50% of new car sales.

Grid oil/gas dependency: 4%.

When Potus comes back from visiting China and busts out more chinese student visas I hope we can revisit this conversation.

You intentionally left out any Deals with the CCP for their war timeline via Korea and Vietnam.

We did however kowtow to them on trade and business.

You may have noticed President Trump kicked the Chinese out of Panama and Venezuela?

Perhaps you noticed the Russians are no longer in Syria?

As for China deals “for their war timeline via Korea and Vietnam”, please explain further.

Nixon used China as a lever against the Soviet Union. China used us as we were using them. Post Nixon, the deal turned very badly against us, as President Trump was telling everyone for decades.
