Trump’s War Incompetence Goes Galactic; Iran Laughing All The Way To The Bank!

from Kernow Damo

Trump went to war with Iran, blew oil prices sky high, then had to relax sanctions on Iranian oil to clean up his own mess - interstellar incompetence! Right, so Donald Trump has managed something so off the scale stupid it would be funny if he were not the President of the United States, but unfortunately, he very much still is. He has gone to war with Iran, helped send oil prices shooting up globally, and now his own administration is reportedly relaxing sanctions on Iranian oil to try to bring those prices back down. Yes, really. The man who was supposed to be crushing Iran has ended up making room for Iranian oil because his own war has started hurting him. So when I say Trump’s war incompetence has gone galactic, that is not me being colourful for the sake of it. That is the plain English version of a White House now trying to clean up an oil crisis it helped create by softening pressure on the very country it is bombing. Even some mainstream outlets have picked up on just how stupid this situation now is. The same administration that has spent years selling sanctions as punishment has signed a document saying transactions ordinarily necessary to sell, deliver, dock, insure and offload that Iranian oil are now authorised for the next month. Treasure Secretary Scott Bessent has said the move could bring about 140 million barrels to global markets. So we have this situation now where Iranian oil is under sanction, the United States has gone to war with Iran for the sake of Israel, and the United States has now carved out a temporary permission slip for Iranian oil because the oil price has become a problem in Washington. Trump has managed to start a war and then relax part of the pressure on the country he started it with. Frankly if his brain exploded at this point, it wouldn’t ruffle whatever that thing on his head is that he passes off as hair. Saman Ghodousi, a spokesperson for Iran’s oil ministry has answered that move from the Iranian side by saying Iran has no crude left on the water and no surplus waiting to be released into international markets.
