Κατά τ' άλλα οι Τραμπιστές εν Ελλάδι ισχυρίζονται ότι οσονουπω θα φανεί μέχρι και μείωση του αμερικανικου χρέους λόγω των εξαιρετικών ικανοτήτων Τραμπ. Πιο πιθανό πάντως να μιλήσουμε με εξωγήινους το κόβω παρά να μειωθεί το αμερικανικό χρέος επί Τραμπ.

the straits of hormuz aren’t completely closed.

iranian tankers are still passing through—bringing oil to china and oil revenue to the islamic republic.

the united states could stop them. but that would antagonize china and further escalate the war. so…here we are.

Trump’s Iran folly is handing Xi Jinping weapons in the trade war [FREE TO READ] Despite China being a huge oil importer, US mismanagement will give Beijing the upper hand in upcoming talks

My Trade Secrets today. You'd think China, the world's biggest oil importer, is being hammered by the Iran war. In fact, via careful preparation and advantages elsewhere, Xi Jinping will be better positioned than Donald Trump when the two meet at a summit later this month.

Kremlin backs covert campaign to keep Viktor Orbán in power Vladimir Putin endorses plan drawn up by Russian consultancy that is under western sanctions

Russia enters Viktor Orban's election campaign, providing consultants who will flood social media with messages designed, ironically, to frame Orbán, a Russia puppet, as "the only candidate who can keep Hungary sovereign"

trump says he can end the war whenever he wants.

but:

1) straitsclosed: drone strikes, mining continuing
2) mojtaba khameini in charge
3) regime making big money from oil export
4) knowledge base, enriched uranium stocks, and strong motivation to build a nuclear bomb asap

Γιατί πληρώνουμε χρυσάφι τις άγονες ακτοπλοϊκές γραμμές; Πρόσφατες εκθέσεις καταγράφουν την εκτίναξη του κόστους για την επιδότηση των ακτοπλοϊκών εταιρειών προκειμένου να εκτελούν δρομολόγια από και προς μικρά και απομακρυσμένα νησιά. Ψάξαμε τον λόγο που σ...

Δεκαπέντε φορές περισσότερο απ' ότι 25 χρόνια πριν κοστίζουν σήμερα στον κρατικό προϋπολογισμό οι επιδοτούμενες ακτοπλοϊκές συνδέσεις με μικρά και απομακρυσμένα νησιά. Και όχι, η αιτία δεν είναι τα ακριβά καύσιμα.

Trump could inadvertently be boosting prospects of European tech sector

Beyond energy, closure of Hormuz Straits could have ripple effects on agricultural staples
• Around one-third of global fertiliser supplies pass through Hormuz
• Prolonged conflict could prompt producers to cut back on fertiliser use, reducing yields

Why blocking Hormuz could threaten the world's food supply While most of the world is focused on the impact of oil disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the current blockade could also pose long-term risks to the global food supply.

1/US unprepared for key Iranian strategy -- target key hubs of the global economy. Put pressure on allies and markets to turn interdependence into a weapon. Rather than an alternative to war, economic nodes are being used as a key tactic to degrade political support.
