Iran So Far Away: 2026

[rufus]

What cost will wake people the fuck up?

Are you kidding? The MAGAts lap this shit up. Shows that Donnie is a real tough guy that shouldn't be fucked with. America strong!!!! Others weak.

Their own skins

Given what has happened to the right wing states in the last 50 years, evidently not even then.

This. There is a reason he threatens genocide.

 

[Kepler]

Would be so much better if these weren't in the service of a regime as murderous as the GOP.

Somebody make a decision.

Put the phone down, Grampa.

You know, if Dump choked on Bibi's ball gag tonight, Vance could opt back into the JCPOA tomorrow morning and negotiate withdrawal of all ships in exchange for the end of the tolls. The Iranian-flagged vessels could lead everyone out of the Strait, as presumably they know where the mines are. Then the US, Iran, and the GCC could submit their cases to the UN to resolve the cost of rebuilding (don't call it a reparation...).

I can end this war in 5 minutes of hypoxia.

A master class in understatement:

Negotiators made significant progress in earlier Iran-US talks, however, public messaging amplified by social media has complicated diplomatic efforts, says Zahid Mahmood, a retired Pakistan army general.

A master class in understatement:

"The five 350-lb offensive linemen have complicated efforts to sack the quarterback."

 

[rufus]

"Donnie running his fat yap keeps fucking up our negotiations"

Taco wanted the Nuke codes and a general had to stop him. True or not true? Sure wouldn't surprise me

The general could have solved a lot of problems if he accidentally discharged his sidearm...

 

[MissThundercat]

I smell TACOS.

 

[Kepler]

Usually the TACOs are welcome, TBH.

Whenever this douchenozzle is foiled, we all win.

 

[ticapnews]

So...we still have a ceasefire AND are resuming our own blockade? Huh?

Seriously, the timeline broke when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series just before the election and someone has to be our Steve Bartman and go back in time to stop them.

The Omni still has a red light.

Too Weaks!

Brent back near $100 on the futures market but the spot price (actual price paid cash on the barrel head for the date) during the blockade(s) are starting to come in. The spot price for Brent crude on 4/7/26, 2 weeks ago, was $138.21, the highest observed since $140.67 on 7/4/08.

IINM, 4/7/26 was in fact the second-highest spot price for Brent crude ever.
