Ali Larijani seemed like a reasonable negotiator. From what I understand he was trying to work with the U.S. to make a deal before the attack. Israel screwed this up by killing him. Israel is constantly provoking instead of trying to calm the situation. We should not be working for Israel.
Yes, Israeli leadership has not been thinking clearly for quite some time. They appear to be too traumatized to rationally defend themselves, and have become the abuser. To my eye, and I'm no expert, they have been overacting for at least 20 years and now it's turning into a savage rampage. The file stuff only points to much more sinister collective psychosis. There is no rational thinking, just extreme danger. Hey, soon we will be too broke to keep funding their country instead of ours, maybe then we can afford to attend to our own collective psychosis.
The global price of oil has RISEN $30-40/barrel since Israel and the US started bombing Iran 2.5 weeks ago. This is why and HOW Putin is reaping his fantastic windfall profits from Russian oil sales. Higher cost per barrel.
Trump lifted US sanctions on Russian oil "at sea". TLoaded tankers on their way to somewhere. This is said to last until April 12. UK and EU sanctions on Russian oil? They are still active.
Thus is is NOT the mere lifting of US sanctions that is giving Putin his MASSIVE BONANZA just when he needs it --- his government was in deep economic doo-doo due to his Ukraine war costs --- it is the RISE in the global price of EACH BARREL of oil.
Also, how about we keep things in better perspective here in North America. Who wants to keep the lights on? Every one of us, sure.
Yet the people of Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt are really suffering, along with the people of Ukraine and Gaza, because of this Putin-Netanyahu-Trump war on Iran.
Trump should pull out of Iran now. Let Netanyahu fight his own war without our help. Netanyahu needs to go as well as Trump.
Thank you. It’s Putin’s Dream.
Critically important report!
As always Zev, you're the best.
