I mean, it's estimated that 90% of Iran's oil goes to China. The odds are good that none of that oil is heading to the US.

Honestly, it's besides the point where it's going; the point is Iran has established control of the strait and is receiving cash for transit of goods.

I almost typed it all out again, but this one thread fully confirms FL Tech drinks DT's bathwater, let alone koolaid haha

Free oil bro!! How could you be mad at that!

This is some serious cope. The gift to us supposedly, is allowing a pakistani outfit to ship oil to a different country?

And not continually, just one day? That's not going to make the slightest difference in the market?

I suppose it's better that something is getting through than nothing, but Iran didn't really give us shite ha

I am going to go out on a limb and predict you won't see this covered very much on CNN...they are still questioning if there have been any talks with Iran

If they cover it at all it'll be to let you know what a pittance that actually is. $2b seems like a lot of money, and it is, but compared to what's at stake it's nothing. It's one day's worth of traffic through Hormuz.

I don't understand how Iran can completely regulate passage.

Threat of tanker destruction > No insurance on tankers > No tankers making passage.

Also they've laid mines. They're not actually controlling it by ship but the threat of violence creates the control in effect.

Lol China isn't doing shite

Actually, China loves this shite. While we're getting mired in another ME conflict, they're playing nice across the world, securing resources and trading partnerships.

Meanwhile, we are changing tariffs every time Donny gets a diaper change, looking less and less like a reliable trading partner.

But I'm sure there's a 4D chess move the true believers will let me know about. :rolleyes:

Both OTs out? Chicken curse is real. What are we gonna do to solve the OL issues?

33 insurrectionists face other charges

Trump just looking out for his people... birds of a feather

quote:

---

At least 33 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by President Trump have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since January 6, 2021, according to new analysis by CREW. Four pardoned insurrectionists have allegedly reoffended since receiving their pardons. Several have argued that the pardon should cover unrelated criminal convictions, and in one case last month, Trump explicitly re-pardoned one insurrectionist for his unrelated weapons charges.

Six of the pardoned January 6th insurrectionists are charged with committing child sex crimes, ranging from sexual assault to possession of child pornography. At least five were charged with illegal possession of weapons, including at least two who had a previous domestic violence conviction. Five were arrested or charged with driving while impaired or under the influence. In two of these cases, the defendant’s reckless driving resulted in a fatality. Two were charged with rape.
