So Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia allowing them to take in record oil profits. Is allowing Iran to sell their oil taking in record profits. And has made Iran the gatekeeper of the Straight of Hormuz, giving Iran a huge economic and diplomatic boost up in the world. Trump has won more for Iran than Iran ever has won for itself.

I suspect some people actually hate the government so much they voted for him to run it into the dirt. That shit stain grover norquest and the like. That or they just loved his racist bullshit and ignored his obviously business failings.

As some one who views the US as a rogue nation and enemy state, this us rather entertaining to watch. This is kind of an ideal situation for burning up the the US morale for war, their stockpiles and causing financial crashes internal and who knows what else their child rapist leader will do next. Hopefully the next blunder has less eide spread issues, maybe they can bomb less people as a distraction or atleast their own.

Trump was not expected to bring any change. For the youngest first time voters he was a “funny choice” and for everyone else he literally stated he had a “concept of a plan.” On live TV. The fact he won after that statement is a profound statement on the country itself.

The problem was that Kamala wasn’t a strong candidate either and the democrats just inserting Kamala as the candidate didn’t work out. 2016, dems cheated their party out of Bernie and force Hillary. 2024 there was no real primary and it just became Kamala. Last 2 out of 3 elections, democrats were cheated out of picking a candidate and that’s just what we clearly know.

That's such a cop out. She might not have been a great candidate but she was a better option than Trump for anyone who actually cared about USA and its people. All those people who "protested" by not voting Democrat or not voting at all have contributed to making their country a dangerous laughing stock. Vote in a clown, expect the circus.

Don't get mad at the person not accepting a shit sandwich. Get mad at the person giving everyone a shit sandwich and telling them to eat or else. Your hate is entirely misguided. Dems did an absolutely awful job and we paid for it. All you're advocating is for someone to eat sandwich which only encourages more awfulness. The signs were huge about how much trouble Dems were in during Biden's presidency, yet did nothing about it. They didn't do anything about it the entire time nor did they enact any real change for you. They just sit there and scold you to vote for them and things will be better next time. Biden was absolutely not in a state to run. News outlets were even wondering if he should run at all before he even made an official Well, it finally bit them and everyone else in the ass. But you get mad at the voter who didn't vote for Biden for dropping the ball. That, my friend, is a cop out. The one's most in power failed you and you're blaming someone who is one vote of 244 million people. The top string pullers in power vs someone with 1/244 million difference. A number so low that I tried to do the math online as a fun fact to get a percent and it's so low that I can't even get a number unless it's in scientific notation. Yeah. it's _the protesters_ fault though.

DromarX Mar 29, 2026 +7
Nah, this isn't a turd sandwich vs giant d***** South Park comparison. For whatever failings of the Dems/Kamala, Trump was still the worst option of the two BY FAR. It was more like choosing between dousing yourself in gasoline then setting yourself on fire vs stubbing your toe. Yet Americans would rather set themselves on fire I guess.

Again, voting for the greater evil is absolutely a cop out. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face. I'm not American. I'm Australian. We had Trump lite running for PM. There are plenty of us who don't particularly favour Albanese but at least he's not a fascist wingnut like the other bloke was. A vote for the lesser evil is always the better option.

Well now I hope you enjoy your SHIT buffet. When will people learn that you will never get your preferred candidate in a country with over 300 million people? The best option is to vote for the better candidate NOT your preferred/dream candidate. You don’t hurt the democratic political operatives, you hurt the country and the entire global community.

How do you get your preferred candidate when your party repeatedly bypasses the primary process that helps that happen? Keep blaming the people.

Listen. I'm not a right winger. I'm actually pretty far left. But what you're saying is absolutely hilarious. The right got their candidate they wanted so it's absolutely possible. Definitely not never. They got a failed business man with a known track record of financial bad decisions and not even a politician to run the entire country. Got a bunch of felony convictions racked up. R*** accusations. And they did it _again_. But the left just needs to accept the fact we won't ever get our preferred candidate. Then just straight up saying the dem political operatives aren't hurt is just categorically untrue. They are hurt. That's why they lost and have less power. In what logical sense are they not hurt? You sound like a defeatist. Are you literally not shocked when you're defeated? God I wish we could have better voters on the left but we are stuck with people like you.

SagittariusO Mar 28, 2026 +43
This year might get interesting in Russia. Yesterday was the first time a Flaming (FP-5) was used against a refinery. There was some delay because Russia had some info about the production facilities and struck them successfully. Will be interesting to see the difference between some Liutyi-drones with 50-75kg warheads and a Flamingo with a 1000kg+ striking those refineries. The ballistic missile program (FP-7/9) should also be ready very soon. Ukraine has ramped up production like crazy. 400+ deep strike drones every day seems to be the new normal. Meanwhile, they wipe out anti-air assets in an unprecedented pace. I'm pretty sure there is some kind of panic behind Kreml walls.
43
zeekayz Mar 28, 2026 +58
Russia does not make money from refining. They make money by selling unrefined crude oil straight out of the far east oil wells. The recently attacked port does help them export a lot though as it's closer to Europe.

Don't think those people consider that a loss. It seems to me it's more game-like thinking . Where an enemy surrendering is considered a win, even if you sacrificed thousands for it and whole economy.  Or maybe more medieval like, where peasant (common American) life level doesn't matter but nobles (billionaires and their corporations) post war get more land and wealth.

Thailand's Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, announced that the country has reached an agreement with Iran to allow Thai oil tankers to safely transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a rare concession that is expected to ease Thailand’s energy challenges. This puts Thailand alongside other countries, such as Bangladesh, China, and India, on Iran’s list of “friendly” nations. The move comes amid rising tensions in the region, with Iran exerting significant control over the Strait, a vital passage for global oil shipments. Iran has previously imposed blockades and threatened to target vessels linked to the US and Israel. The agreement also follows a recent attack on a Thailand-flagged ship, the *Mayuree Naree*, off Iran’s Qeshm Island. Amid this crisis, Thailand has been taking steps to mitigate the impact of the oil shortage, including providing support to vulnerable groups and promoting alternative fuel sources. Additionally, Thailand has banned all oil exports, except to Cambodia and Laos. The country produces about 418,000 barrels of oil daily and holds 240 million barrels in crude reserves.

I’m guessing has something to do with Yuan

SHUT_DOWN_EVERYTHING Mar 28, 2026 +122
USD is difficult for Iran and rather worthless. They are disconnected from SWIFT and various sanctions pretty much cut them off from any US-dominated financial system. Yuan is a a lot more practical because as I understand they can use CIPS and work around sanctions to some extent. In this case Thailand would deposit the funds in Yuan in an Iranian controlled CIPS connected account held in China. Iran can then pay for various imports from Chinese exporters using CIPS.

China doesn't want to maintain the petroyuan like the US does with the petrodollar. They're not going to open dozens of bases in the ME for example. So the yuan will likely end up as one alternative amongst several. India for example pays for some of their oil in rupees.

Or maybe Bibi just went and told him how big and strong his military is and how everyone will love him if he just drops a few bombs ? Either way, if Israel did manipulate the American administration do easily, it clearly shows the level of incompetence of the people the American voters put in charge.

If you don’t think the US’s enemies have been working to topple the US and where they are today is not impacted by that, you are most likely wrong. Getting someone into power who you think you can either control or will result in certain opportunities that other leaders did not provide is a reasonable goal overall. Not too sure China wanted trump in power, but trump imo has shown indirectly preference for Russia’s in both his terms. China in the other hand not sure if they nessarily supported him cause they think he would cause new opportunities, or possibly they did not cause he has been pretty consistent in being more aggressive towards them as well.

I always wondered why more ships weren't going through already. Isn't most of Asia sitting this one out and shouldn't be on Irans list of aggressors? Should only really be western nations not getting ships through and arent they the minority since they wont be getting oil from there anyway?

I think it has to do with the selling Oil is US currency. If you want to pass you need to sell the Yuan.

Adorable_Octopus Mar 28, 2026 +8
I think it comes down to whether the insurance companies are willing to insure the ships or not (or insure them at a reasonable rate). Those companies are notoriously risk adverse and I don't think there's any indication that these agreements are assuring them that the risk is actually lower.

greenskinmarch Mar 28, 2026 +8
Oil is a global market. If all the oil produced inside the strait is getting out, then the strait blockage is completely ineffective in threatening the global economy. Which means the USA is free to continue pummeling Iran by air without other countries complaining much.

Who in Iran has the authority to negotiate? Can that person guarantee protection from rogue IRGC units in the straight? China has the “goodwill” from Iran to use the straight as well. Yet you can see how many Chinese flags ships actually want to take the risk.
19
Gollum_Quotes Mar 28, 2026 +23
I keep seeing listnookors say that rogue elements will attack tankers outside the chain of command therefore Iran cannot reasonably negotiate security guarantees... yet that continues to not be the case. Iran is holding and operating the strait masterfully in a coordinated manner. We underestimate them if we think air striking a few leaders will make them fall apart into shambles.

Gollum_Quotes Mar 29, 2026 +5
Well yeah there's an active war in the region, the paradigm of the strait shifted and negotiations are still being held between Iran and other countries. Of course they're not operating like pre-war. But enough tankers have passed to show they can sufficiently allow passage to whom they like.

Weirdly, Iran currently seems to be more of a functioning state than the US.

Well to be fair. Donald Trump is a pedophile who these absolute idiots voted in. Sorry 1/3 idiots voted in and 1/3lazy people who didn’t want to vote. This is on 2 out of every 3 Americans ❤️

Looks like they read "The Art of the Deal"... or actually, it looks like they didn't.

Iran is least to be trusted with their on and off. Look what happened to China recently. If anything, the world should be pushing for free trade

Orange ape is the one of most least reliable ones rn, iran and China are also more reliable than them. Regarding free trade first lets start with their neighbours, let cuba have it then push to others.

Hell, we can't even figure out "free trade" between f****** states. The federal government still won't do shit about regulating recreational marijuana as a nation and although it's legal in both Ohio and Michigan, our Republican government here in Ohio passed a law making it illegal to bring any back from Michigan (because even after Michigan upped their taxes, it's still cheaper and better selection making my quarterly 3 hour one-way drive worth it). I understand there are nuances to interstate commerce, but it's a joke. Anyways, like you said, claiming "free trade" as US principle or desire is laughable whether you look at the changing tariffs, embargo of Cuba since my dad was a baby, etc.
