Midweek Update #7: The Most Corrupt War In US History Trump Is Passing The Initiative To Iran; Oil Markets, Watch Out If They Lose Their Optimism

This is unbelievably disgraceful, cashing in on human misery, holding a gun to the global economy... These people should all be in prison. By @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

Absolutely. Also the Good Friday Agreement? As I understood it, the agreement included quite a lot of social spending (because if you invest in communities equally, they are less prone to shooting each other)

Helping the excluded and downtrodden (even people from other tribes and religions) was the central pillar of Jesus's ministry. It's about all there is to it.

I know not all Americans voted for Trump, but sadly for all of them, any scintilla of moral authority the USA could claim in this world until now is cooked for a generation (if not permanently).

The logic, insofar as there is any, goes like this: the war has crashed the global oil market so hard that the administration needs the enemy’s oil to keep gasoline prices from eating the midterms. They are unsanctioning the people they’re bombing because the bombing is working too well at the thing they didn’t want it to do. The sanctions were necessary to stop Iran funding the war, but the war made the sanctions too effective, so the sanctions had to be lifted to fund the war effort against the country that no longer needs sanctions because the oil revenues that sanctions were preventing are now required to prevent the economic damage caused by preventing those revenues, which is itself a consequence of the military campaign designed to make the sanctions unnecessary by making Iran the kind of country that doesn’t need sanctioning, which it would be, if the sanctions hadn’t been lifted to pay for making it that.
