In footage shared on social media, President Donald Trump offered a candid assessment of the state of global oil and offered a possible explanation for his willingness to accept a deal with Iran that even his own administration officials reportedly opposed. During a speech at the G7 meeting in France, the president warned that the world would run out of oil reserves within weeks and admitted that the situation forced his hand.

 

During a speech in Evian, the president said, “also we run out of reserves in about four weeks, you know there are reserves all over the world and we would really run out, and there would be a time when you wouldn’t be able to get it, and you wanna see bedlam.”

 

“If we didn’t do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years… You would never have the Hormuz Strait open… Your market would have, instead of going up, would go down at levels that nobody ever saw before, maybe except for 1929,” the president said, adding, “I did not want to see economic catastrophe.”

Trump is a dragging the republicans down the drain, but honestly I’m in no mood to celebrate because he’s dragging the country down with him….

 

why do you think all the AI companies are rushing to go public?  They know the “golden age” is about to dry up and they need to grab as much liquidity as they can…
 

Trump should start thinking about how life will be post presidency, mainly for his family…. Sure they will be rich, but they’ll be one of the most hated families in the world.

Iran and Oman will control access to the Strait after the first 60 days according to US officials.

 

The details keep getting worse and worse.

This is complete and utter capitulation. Bibi will not allow this. The war isn't over by any means. The Strait will be closed again. Iran is about to become the dominant regional player because of their own folly, and while hilarious to me, they can't and won't abide by the agreement.

A couple days ago I said surely the rumors of the points in this agreement to had to be bullshit….that even a blowhard idiot like Trump couldn’t be stupid or incompetent enough to agree to every single line item on Iran’s  Christmas wish list.  

But of course, now it’s slowly coming out that all the rumors were true.  
 

This US/Iran war will go down as one of the single most humiliating  and incompetent shit-stains in the history of international diplomacy.  Not only has the whole exercise been an embarrassment of epic proportions for the United States…Trump’s actions and decisions in recent months have severely degraded US alliances in Europe and the Middle East.  
 

A year ago America was universally recognized  as a world leader and superpower.    Now the whole world views America as a clown show whose leadership is so mind-numbingly incompetent….by going to war against Iran, they actually made Iran stronger and dramatically increased Iran’s sphere of influence in just three months.   
 

Trump’s narcissistic and misguided stupidity has put Iran in a far stronger situation than anything Iran  could have possibly done for themselves.

Total retarded buffoon

 

 


G7 is an event where several of the world’s most powerful and influential leaders meet as representatives of their respective nations to discuss international trade, energy , world peace, and matters that have considerable global impact.   
 

These leaders don’t always agree with one another…but they generally come across as intelligent and well-spoken and represent their countries with a level of sophistication and decorum.  
 

Meanwhile, the representative for the United States is a bumbling buffoon spewing nonsense, talking out his ass, and generally coming across as a complete buffoon….objectively the  dumbest guy in the room.  
 

Making America Great Again, indeed.

My friend...it is only because you think logically that you would be befuddled by it. These people are not logical in the sense of what makes sense for the whole. They're self dealing carnival barkers. Look at Kash Patel spilling the beans about a multi-state investigation into a potential massacre on the biggest stage that was foiled by a mother calling the cops. They had the getaway drivers, the guns, the explosives...all of it lined up. And the head of the FBI put it on social media for what reason? Self dealing is all they care about. They care nothing for the philosophy of equality or law.

Literally too stupid 

 

 

It is astonishing how infantile he can discuss real geopolitical understandings. He isn't exactly wrong. Keeping the peace and the oil flowing in the Middle East is the backing of our reserve currency. That now has a 300 billion dollar price tag on it. All because he was easily manipulated into an unwinnable war. 

 

The whole framing is absurd. This is what an alpha looks like to those who refuse to understand how anything works.
