With Trump in a holding pattern on Iran war, allies and critics worry he risks getting boxed in

7. What was the most obvious outcome of a war with Iran?

The Strait was a virtual certainty to be closed when we attacked Iran. There was a straight line between the two events.

Reducing the strategic reserves makes the oil of those that can still produce more valuable.

Trump would be fine if gas was $10 a gallon. He is certainly profiting from the volatility in oil prices by speculating in the market himself. He is one of the most venal, evil rulers of the last 80 years. His goal is to bleed every last dollar from every American, and every person in the world, until he owns everything and we are just property.

The U.S. is blockading the Strait along with Iran.

Trump does not care about "taking the fall". He is an obese 79 year old man that has been using drugs for is entire adult life and has multiple health problems, in addition to dementia. He does not have much time on this earth, and he hates everyone. Every policy he has feels like a Nero Decree.

Bessent has actually bragged about American oil being available for purchase as opposed to the oil coming out of the Strait.

The only positive aspect of Trump's regime is that the rest of the world is sick of us and has the political will to reduce their exposure to America, which means reducing their exposure to fossil fuels.
