Just sit back and enjoy your freedoms and all other perks of living in America. Let the people who know what they are doing, do it. Not some guy in his moms basement mad at America while enjoying all it has to offer.

Seized Iranian Oil Stuck Off Texas Coast As US Companies Afraid Of Tehran's Retaliation | ZeroHedge

According to the Journal, the US can’t sell the oil because the companies that would unload the oil are worried about Iranian retaliation in the Persian Gulf.

"Companies with any exposure whatsoever in the Persian Gulf are literally afraid to do it," a Houston-based energy executive involved in the matter told the paper.

The executive said that several companies contacted about the oil declined to unload the cargo. After the US stole the Iranian oil shipment, Iran seized two tankers in the Persian Gulf, which was likely retaliation.

US Sending More Navy ships and Marines to Middle East over Iranian Threats

The U.S. military is sending additional warships and thousands of Marines to the Middle East in response to recent Iranian attempts to seize commercial vessels.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved the deployment of an amphibious ready group and a Marine expeditionary unit to the Gulf region on Thursday after greenlighting similar force-strengthening maneuvers in recent weeks.


Specifically, the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group, which includes the Bataan, an amphibious assault ship; the amphibious transport dock ship Mesa Verde; and the dock landing ship Carter Hall, will be heading to the Middle East, along with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, according to Military Times. A marine expeditionary unit usually consists of roughly 2,500 troops.

Probably use the new playbook and have them yell at the Iranians, referring to them as UltraMaga and Nazi’s. The resulting confusion will send them scurrying away.

So all they are doing is getting their ship back that the US stole last year? The US is nothing but a rogue country engaged in piracy.

China Awarded Major Contract By Iraq For Supergiant Oil And Gas Field | OilPrice.com

PetroChina’s contract to develop the Nahr bin Umar gas field follows the takeover by PetroChina of ExxonMobil’s operator role in the giant West Qurna 1 field

China got a foothold now..prophetic.

This route has long been the key link required to build a ‘land bridge’ from Tehran to the Mediterranean Sea by which Iran and Russia could exponentially increase the scale and scope of weapons delivery into southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights area of Syria to be used in attacks on Israel, as also analysed in depth in my new book on the new global oil market order. The core aim of this policy was to provoke a broader conflict in the Middle East that would draw in the U.S. and its allies into an unwinnable war of the sort seen recently in Iraq and Afghanistan, and which may soon be seen as the Israel-Hamas War escalates.

What in the hell???

Do you know how many Israelis are former Russian citizens or probably dual citizens? Russia would never open itself up to possibly terrorist operations within Russia.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the Chinese are just engaging in commerce? The Chinese builds bridges and railways and the US bombs them? He'll, we don't even build infrastructure or properly maintain them here at home.
