It's a game. They don't care which of the poors need to die (or how), they are manipulating everything because they can.

these are all futures contracts -
the market sets the price, not the producer.

if the price comes down, they just let the future expire.

if the contract is not delivered upon, and force majeure is claimed, the producer just gives back the money.

it is a bit more complicated because of the global shipping and insurance -
but yeah, they are making a bunch for the delivered contracts - but they have to be delivered.

You have to ask yourself, who profited from American attacking Iran? I hate to say it but it’s Russia. Not only did trump remove the restrictions on buying Russian oil, but now Putin gets over $100 per barrel.

In 2012 US fracking oil production was 3.4 bpd. In 2025 it was 13.5mm bpd, 4X!

Thank God for Billy Bob.

Well don't forget Iran too since we removed their sanctions as well. Oh and now they are getting a ransom from every ship they let thru the strait.

And of course lets not forget the good people at our oil companies.

I know there are Iranian citizens who a suffering greatly under the current regime, but it depresses the fuck out of me that I can't disagree with all of this...

Never did I ever see myself saying “well Iran has some good points…”

Interesting factoid: the percentage of Iranians who support their regime and the percentage of Americans who support this war are about the same - ~30%.

I thought the war was over?

I can't wait till people start writing all over the new $$$. Trump is a.....

Trump signature to appear on US currency, ending 165-year tradition

The Treasury said that the first $100 bills with Trump's signature and that of US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months.

You are not paying attention, it’s not a war, it’s an excursion. Waiting for trump to start painting big letter “Z’s” on all the tanks just like his boss did.

Despite not supporting a regime, I doubt any Iranian supports us murdering 150 girls in a primary school.
