They need oil. Media is not letting in the damages. Not just the nuclear sites. They tore an ACL and maybe both and can't walk. They can throw their navy into a funnel. Who is going to save China and shut the shit down. We now have China on our side.

Do a diagram. All the countries. China is going to pick the US 9 out of 10 times. Trump has said he's good with Iran shipping oil. It won't be Iran closing down the straights. No oil for China and no money for Iran. They need to knock off this religious stupidity.

They're never going to close the Straits. It's CURRENT YEAR, not 1987.

India, China, and many other smaller countries need that oil. It's not just going to the West and Japan anymore. If Iran shut the Strait they'd be signing their own death warrant, existential threat to dozens of country's economies.

Wasn't that a chance to fuck China up using Iran's hands?

Sure, if you want Crude Oil futures to go up. It'll hurt them more than us but it sure won't help the USA.

Esp. since the Fed won't cut rates.

fed cutting rates would spike inflation. it’s just welfare for debtors st expense to nation long term.

A desperate cornered China does no one any good. They can’t beat us in a war in a non occupied location(aka Taiwan) but they can kick the crap out of us while we are killing them. It would be super ugly.

Let them keep their oil, let Iran save face.

Trump remains a genius.

It also means lower debt interest payments

100% correct.

The proper solution here is to cut spending and pay down the principle, not increase the debt because it is "cheaper."
