All the sector needs is a few well placed donations to get Trump to bail them out.

Np. But I agree with you that it's fuckery by bessent

crude futures are physical settled, that's why they went negative in 2020

Would be EPIC FUNNY if they end up having to *deliver* on those futures but don't have the barrels...thus bankrupting the Treasury.

Since Trump thinks it's a biblical war, that means they will do it...

But is definitely an asshole

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Didn't he say last year that the nuclear program was destroyed? Or are we all just going to forget he said that?

This is a test run, and China's seen that if the world blockades them on oil, it would hurt...I don't think China's going to invade anytime soon. Maybe they'll need to build another few years of renewable capacity so they don't need to import oil anymore.

They thought Iran would roll over like Maduro

Officals suggest many of the pants that came alight were the result of lies told to their supreriors ...

Everyone thinks Trump is playing 5D chess when he's just eating the pieces like crayons.

I hope not. Iran striking the mainland will only allow Orange turd to announce a state of emergency and cancel the midterms.

the string of attacks this morning on shipping in hormuz feels like iran proving that they can still keep the strait closed

Practically nothing in his brain...

But is it really daily pricing if they just phone up their buddies for a fake bid? It's not like the loans actually transact there

Gee no shit sherlock...if the risk of attack wasn't great, why would they need an escort?

I thought it was Taco Tuesdays...?

A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

Hi Phil D., long time no see!

There are no guarantees that anything will change in November, and the Orange turd holds grudges...so why not play along in the short term? You're thinking from the perspective that other countries should do what American Congress won't...But sorry, we serve our own constituents, not Americans.

and therein lies the problem. RoW can't pressure Trump into submission. Only Americans can remove Trump from power.

Again, why should Canada or Japan have to pressure Trump and not your elected officials?

What choice does the RoW have besides try to lessen the immediate impact on their citizens?

I think you want the world to do the job that Congress isn't

Releasing reserves is about plugging real physical shortages that are coming.

No, but hurting Japanese or Korean businesses isn't going to help when they aren't the ones bombing Iran.
