See! There will be no deal made!

Trump says that he is in no rush to find a solution to end this illegitimate war with Iran!

Well, I knew this was going to happen!

But hey, I believe Trump is not in control? Iran is going to bleed the turnip right out of Trump! Remember turnips don’t have blood in them, neither does Trump.

A pathetic incompetent idiot we have to be negotiating a war that he pretends to be in control!

…since last week’s record-setting surge was based on the expectations of an imminent accord that would reopen Hormuz.

Makes me wonder if we should look at Trump’s recent trading history.

because Krasnov said a peace deal was imminent. Look at the headlines in the MSM that echoed what Krasnov said.

Based solely on oil prices, $100/barrel should translate into $3.50/gal, not $4.50/gal.

A big reason for the gasoline and diesel runup is that 100+ tankers have diverted to the US to fill up on already-refined products instead of raw crude. We're selling our fuel reserves at a time when we're typically building stockpiles for the summer driving season.

And the longer Trump waits the worse the deal will be. Gas stations will start to run dry like in the oil crisis in the 70s. Then he'll be desperate when people can't get to work ( unless they have an electric or hybrid).

How many remember that?
From Google
The 1970s energy crisis refers to two major oil shocks, primarily in 1973 and 1979, triggered by OPEC oil embargoes and production cuts in response to political events like the Yom Kippur War, leading to severe fuel shortages, long gas lines, high inflation, and economic recession. The crises spurred a new focus on energy conservation, efficiency, and alternative energy sources, prompting the creation of the Department of Energy and a shift towards smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, significantly impacting the U.S. economy and auto industry.
