US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran (2 Viewers)

[Warrior]

The Iranians have closed the Strait because the blockade is still continuing. If there is a ceasefire within the region there is no need to continue the blockade, particularly if you want the Iranians to negotiate.

In addition, there was talk of negotiations taking place this weekend but as of today, nothing has been planned.

Trump also claimed that Iran had “agreed to everything,” which Iran quickly denied, saying it had not agreed to anything.

This is fairly typical for US foreign policy as it is now being “run.”

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

The Iranians are stalling and Trump was not willing to let them off the hook. They and China are suffering from the blockade. Not the US. They are not dealing with Jimmy Carter or Obama. Trump will not let go until they agree to his terms. It is the only way to deal with them. They respect only strength. Their strategy is to delay because that has worked for them but there is a new sheriff in town. And he is Gary Cooper instead of Barney Fife. They are slowing learning that lesson.

Doug…

I agree that Iran as a country will suffer the most on the blockade…

but the US...or Americans...will actually suffer too on the price of oil per barrel at the gas pumps when buying gasoline…

oil prices are determined by global supply and demand...rather than any country’s domestic production level...

so yea...the Straight being closed again will make American gas buyers suffer too…

possibly a bit of good news for Texans...Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is actively urging Governor Abbott to temporarily suspend the state’s motor fuel tax due to rising gas and diesel prices…

The tax on a gallon of gas is about 20 cents per gallon...which could provide a little relief if Abbott agrees to it...

The price on gas here dropped .30 cents a gallon over the past few days, down to 3.49, so I filled up, that will get me through for about a month..................we'll see where things stand in a month. That's all I can do.........on another note, my better half is traveling for the next week or so, I went food shopping on Friday, just for me............nothing out of the ordinary...........118.00...............the price on meat, fish, fruit and produce is out of this world.

I don't know how a middle class family of four does it..........I also went out to dinner twice this past week, a fancypants steak joint for Greek Easter last Sunday, five of us, tab was 350.00...........the place was empty.............went out to eat Wednesday night with a customer; again, the place was empty, dinner for the two of us with 115.00...............that's outrageous, it's a BBQ joint, nothing fancy, haven't seen this customer in about 4 months, last time we went to dinner at the same place, the tab was 85.00....................this is getting out of hand, I can swing it being a high roller toy soldier seller, there's SO much money in the toy soldier business, but again, the average middle class family, I don't know how they do it.
