So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

Trump admin announces $20 billion reinsurance program for oil tankers during Iran war Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains at a standstill as the Iran war engulfs the region.

Question: If the US offers reinsurance to people shipping on the Persian Gulf, who will pay for it if Iran hits a ship or tanker?

I don't know, but it sounds like maybe the US taxpayers will.

How to do that without being bombed into submission? I would love for the west coast to join Canada.

It should be a much bigger story that oil prices surged because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran, forcing the White House to ease sanctions on Russian oilβ€”only for Russia to take that money and help Iran target American troops.

We are urging strongly that Iran's statehood be preserved.
We do not want to see a Syrian scenario here, but rather we want this state to become functional from within itself.
And that is why I also appeal, both in Washington and in all talks with the Israeli government, to create the conditions as quickly as possible for this country to be stabilized, for it to get a democratically legitimized government, and for it to be able to continue to exist as a state.
It is a country with over 90 million inhabitants, and we naturally also have a high self-interest in this in order to avoid new refugee flows from the region.

Finally someone mentions the upcoming refugee problem that I raised here about a week ago - this should’ve been considered BEFORE the strike.

❗️Russia is giving Iran information to attack US forces in the Middle East - Washington Post, citing three officials.

Since Saturday, Russia has provided Iran with locations of America's military assets, including warships and aircraft, sources told WP.

The stock market is tanking, gas prices are spiking, the DHS Secretary was just fired after lying under oath to Congress, prices keep going up, Trump refuses to refund tariffs despite a SCOTUS decision, and we are in another war in the Middle East.

When does the winning start?

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

GOP Rep Massie: "Some told us this war was about nuclear weapons. But 6 months ago, we were assured our last strike on Iran decimated their nuclear program...I think the most candid answer came from the secretary of state, who told the press that Israel forced our hand and dragged us into this war

Tax cuts for corporations. Healthcare benefits cuts. Tariffs (tax increases for regular people). And now, a war that is going to cost $1B a day. And in the meantime, gas and natural gas prices are going to be a HUGE tax on regular Americans that is directly attributable to this war of choice.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.

I defy anyone to justify this.
