If all they wanted was to stop oil from flowing to China why couldn't they just tell Oman to stop sending oil to China? Why couldn't they approach UK, EU, Japan, South Korea, Australia and tell them they would now be buying China's share of the oil from now on? Even still, the US has massive leverage against gulf states, they could have easily just told them that gulf oil is not to be sold to China. Very easily. China basically told every country that runs their refineries that they could put taxes on any products used by their machinery and everyone fell in line. Just my thought is that our administration has no communication with our allies or something? Like do we have state ambassadors anymore?

While I agree that there is zero appetite for war, I am not confident it will stay that way if the war goes on for much longer. The UK led coalition and their tone to appeas Trump instead of putting pressure on the US to get out worries me.

Purple_Squirrel_6883

Not really. UK, Germany and some other NATO members are covertly helping USraeli operations. The only way to lose NATO is to invade Greenland

TripodRedux

No, that's later.If they don't negotiate. Try and stay up. Trump wants to give the people inside of iran the opportunity to take over to take their country back. But he's not going to wait forever. If iran doesn't negotiate in short order, I suspect their water, electricity and communications will be completely obliterated. Clearly trump doesn't want to do that. Just like he wants nato or some other entity to protect the strait of hormuz, because we do not need the oil. Trump was there to eliminate the nuclear threat.That's the only reason we're there. Seemingly NATO, particularly France, are such cowards, they're not willing to protect the oil that they desperately need.How stupid is that? At least now, there's word of the UK getting involved with a few other countries to get on with the Strait of Hormuz issue. Its about time.

Garbage-Disposal-938

Yeah. Before the 2003 Iraq War US officials actually had meetings with UK and EU and planned it out first, got their cooperation in advance. For this Iran debacle, EU allies weren't even informed of it.

ShittyUsernane1222

if I had to compare US-Iran War with historical wars, war of 1812 would be a close one. Iran is the US in that Historical Allegory. Israel is Spanish West Florida in that historical allegory. The US is the UK in that historical allegory .

ShittyUsernane1222

Imagine if the UK talked about US, the same way US speaks of Iran "1776 PURITAN Revolution turned an crown jewel of the Empire into SAVAGES" "King Charles III is the rightful head of state and government of the US" "King George III did nothing wrong and was SERVING the American Peoples needs" "1776 was a SLAVE-OWNERS REVOLT" lmao

Beginning-Luck-4026

Nah I believe it, US will finish ops in 2-3 weeks and he stated opening the strait is not the US problem. That is why the UK got 40 other countries together to figure out how to open the strait. Get your calls ready in a week or two.

BritishAnimator

When Trump said to the UK "You can buy oil from US instead, or go get it yourself, whatever" I thought **and there we have it**. He is just redirecting sales. Bibi has already said to a reporter that laying pipelines to redirect oil exports from the two Straits to Israel's side as an end to the Iranian war. That would give them a revenue income and decimate the Middle East at the same time. So I think Trump is still a moron. But smarter people are redirecting global resources to themselves. Iran and others in the Middle East are just in the way. You can fit Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Russia and Israel into this goal. Russia is included to pacify China and we know that Trump (and family) chats to Putin more than he lets on.

ConKinc

American companies and US supporting nations, which it seems like the UK is one of as they albeit not "joining" the war but allowing the use of their airbases.

Your comment: >**Chinese workers work much longer hours with less safety regulations compared to American workers. Seems like profit's more important than workers' safety and work-life balance in China.** >Also, Chinese government pushed for massive replacement of human drivers with cars driven with AI by giving the largest AI corporate huge tax cuts and subsidies. China did it before even America started doing it. About 5 million taxi drivers in China were replaced by AI pushed by government but those human drivers got ZERO compensation for what happened. So clearly... profit's everything in China. The other guy's reply to your above comment which basically highlights the blatant false equivalency you drew about HEALTH AND SAFETY: >No because what you think are facts are actually your garbled take on the world. My mimicking your bizarre statement was actually a point in and of itself to be honest. **Do you think that North Korea has more stringent health and safety than the UK? Obviously not. Does that mean they're more capitalist? Apparently by your definition.** Your reply again, completely avoiding the actual question asked right then and there: >If North Korean gov gives huge subsidies to large AI corporations so that they can replace human workers, yes N.Korea would be considered capitalist in that aspect but they're not doing that. >China on the other hand has been doing that. It makes them a profit maximalist. So again, **you have zero fact and you couldn't rebut any of my facts.** You're just coping. The irony of you tell him that he couldn't rebut your facts, while blatantly avoiding the actual question he asked you and jumping to another point about replacing workers with autonomous solutions. You're also jumping to the conclusion that they're doing it to maximise profit, while they could be doing it to maximise efficiency. And even assuming they were doing it to maximise profit, states that have large scale social transformation they want to do need to do it with money. It doesn't really work otherwise - look at North Korea. I don't know why you are so hellbent on pushing this narrative that you initially stated - "*China is more capitalist than America*". If you want to have an actual discussion like I first replied to you, with the history of how socialism in China was established and how they decided to integrate capitalist tendencies but doesn't make them capitalist, that would be one thing but you're literally drawing false equivalencies and dichotomies to argue that China is more capitalist, and when I presented a more in-depth case which required critical thinking to suggest things aren't black & white, you outright rejected it because it didn't fit you black & white view of things. Even here, you keep on telling me I can't read, like that has become your go-to. Which is extremely ironic becuase I keep referring to the conversation between you and the other guy I quoted here, about Health & Safety regulations as a defining trait of capitalism, and you keep telling me I can't read because I am not referring to the point about drivers being replaced by autonomous solutions, while not being able to read the health & safety comparison asked of you, reminded by me several times. It's all some of the laziest, most blatant and transparent, bad faith argument tactics that only a child incapable of reading the room would think they are presenting some big "gotcha".

Oh noo! The UK is sending humanitarian aid after centuries of economic exploitation and theft of its colonies that funneled incredible wealth into the UK, and not to mention the man-made famines that killed millions of indians. The injustice!

gnome08

TACO. He's now bored by the war. He wants out. Mid terms are this year, so there's insanely strong political pressure to end it quick. The legal means & funding necessary long term for the war is on shaky ground. He has no support internationally. He appears to have both "completely decimated" Iran's military, but also needs the UK to open the strait somehow. Whatever the reason, he seems to not know what to do next. Which makes him grumpy that it didn't go his way so again now he wants out. GOP congress wants out. Americans want out. We don't know when or how, but he will find an off ramp.

shahitukdegang

And UK took money from the US in humanitarian aid while building an atomic bomb. Countries do more than one thing at a time.

Biker_NY

Fantastic /s. With the money given to Israel you could literally provide full health coverage for 20% of the US population (similar to the UK’s NHS). Conversely, this money is ultimately being used to put civilians in the ground.

Since it says from 1946 onward, its probably to help with rebuilding after WWII. Same with the UK

rugbyliebe

Nope, that's not at all what was said. Yes, they enter talks to open the strait back up. But they remain neutral to do so as the USA is not a reliable partner anymore. There is no "we" with the US anymore. Macron (President of France): "military intervention would take a long time and everyone who passes the strait would be in danger of being attacked by the Iranian revolutional guard and missiles. Keir Starmer (UK): wants to "assess all viable diplomatic and political measures that we can take to restore freedom of navigation, guarantee the safety of trapped ships and seafarers and resume the movement of vital commodities" No military options at all. Mango is just too stupid to realize which chain of long term consequences he triggered with this war.

The US won't become a pariah overnight, but plenty of long-standing allies are out (e.g. Pakistan) and others (e.g. the UK and EU) are officially distancing themselves. Defence and big tech are specifically targeted.

LightOverWater

US economy is still impact by price of oil, inflation, and contagion. We're long enough in this conflict that others are getting more creative in wanting this open. Iran hurts more by having it closed; it's a big hit to their economy. Iran will not close it forever. UK is holding a meeting with 35 countries to get the Strait opened diplomatically. Basically, a lot of this is reaching a culminating point. Iran doesn't want the Strait forced open. It's inevitable that it will be. Iran's military has also been decimated. They're just bleeding out, not thriving. It seems Iran might loosen up and open the Strait with tolls and maintaining some control. I'm not sure if the West is okay with that. But that's certainly better for Iran than the current regime getting wiped out by the US and forcing the Strait open or other countries doing something as they feel the pain the most (EU/Asia).

What UK meeting do you mean

Nac_Lac

This is an uncharitable reading of the article. UK is examining diplomatic options to reopen the strait with 40 other countries. They are not looking to do anything militarily; it's a quagmire that they want nothing to do with. Any military action to hold the strait is going to result in massed causalities. The countless military advisors are screaming at leadership to not go in and unlike the US, the leaders are listening.

nop--sled

It seems to me that it is smarter for the markets to go up  on the UK meeting than on anything Trump says. Trump seems to have a problem with the truth. But his buddies do seem to profit on his market manipulation.

pashalka31

In 1994 Viktor Bout was dispatched by an ex KGB officer, St Petersburg politician, and current mobster named Vladimir Putin to trade soviet surplus arms to the Taliban for heroin that the Russian Mafia who took over the government could use to enslave/trade to the people of Russia for their paper shares of the former Soviet socialist state awarded to them by Yeltsin.   Behind Trump and Epstein, Viktor Bout was the most important piece on Putins Russian mafia chessboard.   The Soviet Union was the largest war machine in world history. The entire economy was based on destroying the west.  When it collapsed it had more arms than any empire in human history.   And those weapons all made it to every genocide, war, conflict, or massacre in the world by way of one man-  Viktor Bout.   From Charles Taylor in Liberia to the ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia to the invasion of Ukraine, you can track it by its supply chain logistics.   Army runs on food, fuel, and ammunition.  And they all get moved by way of the path of least resistance to their point of use.  For anyone whose army or gang ran ak-47's chambered in 7.62x39mm that means it came from Russia.   In 1994 Putin also engineered the Russian invasion of Chechnya.  Since Kazakstan declared its independence, Chechnya and Iran became the necessary gateway to Afghanistan where the worlds heroin was produced in the 1990's.   Weapons are heavy so they tend to travel by rail or truck.  So they take the low road rather than the high mountain pass as much as possible.  That path led through Iran.   Drugs are much lighter and easier to carry so in the 1990's they are the preferred currency of organized crime next to cash or more recently, crypto.  As Putin and his Mafia of gangsters traded the worlds largest surplus of guns for heroin, then traded the heroin for all the critical industry, oil and gas, metals, fertilizer, uranium etc that made them billionaires in Russia, they had almost everything they needed to complete their conversion from psychopathic street thug to legitimate respectable oligarch.  ( Putin now makes $750M a day off of this war. ) But they were still trapped in the hyper violent hell on earth they themselves created between St. Petersburg and Moscow and wanted out.   So they laundered that money into the UK and US using Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump's commercial real estate.  They tried Trump's casinos first but collapsed them under the mass of $1.4 TRILLION.  It's a lot to hide in a craps table. But they made an asset out of Trump by having Epstein set up and produce a VHS of Trump raping a 13 year old little girl. (This was the video that DEA/FBI agent Bob Levinson was shown just before Russian intelligence baited him to their proxy state: Kish island Iran)  So they collapsed the casinos into bankruptcy, murdered Mark Etess, Jonathan Benanav, and Stephen Hyde and started using commercial real estate instead. They would hyperinflate the valuation, then sell it back and forth to each other passing the bulk of the cash back under the table.   As you worked 40-60 hrs a week to save up for a down payment on a house down the street and run comparables, the cost of your place went up 4-12x by comparison,  but your wages didn't. So you paid the corruption tax multiple times. (You are the victim in Leticia James lawsuit against Trump and this is why he claims Mar-a-Lago is worth $1B and refuses to share his tax records.)  But it all tracked back to Viktor Bout and a Egyptian man named Al Zawahiri whom Putin brought into Russia between 1996-97, managed by  young patriotic FSB officer named Alexander Litvenenko and cashflowed to fund an organization the Saud ruling family started called Al Qaeda.  Al Zawahiri was the key man in Iran that allowed the Russian jewish Mafia to move those same guns and heroin through a muslim country as long as Putin could hold Iran as it's proxy state perpetually. (Same basic play as Assad in Syria until it collapsed and assad ran to Moscow. His replacement was a Al Qaeda operative handpicked by Al Zawahiri)  Hence why Putin and Trump rely on their co-conspirator Netanyahu to pound the drum of Iranian nuclear capacity for 30+ years. In 1999 Putin then blamed a non-existent islamic entity called the "Liberation Army of Dagestan" from Chechnya for blowing up some Russian apartment buildings. Putin committed that terrorism, but that started the "War on Terror" that 2 years later took U.S. troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.   Putin created the demand for the weapons he had in abundance by dragging the US into a 20 year war at the same time he started an economic war against the U.S. by devaluing the dollar with rigged real estate while leasing U.S. and EU politicians and podcasters cheaply and secretly (FBI Arctic Frost investigation that Trump had Patel disappear then fire every FBI agent that investigated him) It was all enabled by the greed of wall street bankers  and hedge fund managers who would do business with anyone for money: (Jeffrey Epstein and Jes Staley at JP Morgan Chase, Leon Black at Bank of America etc)  But it left an evidence trail of deep trafficking ruts through Ukraine, Iran and Venezuela. Putin invaded Ukraine as the decorruption audits for NATO and EU membership exposed his corruption there (Kolomoiskiy).  Putin instructed Trump to assassinate the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani as the General began realizing that the same drug gangs he fought earlier in his career were funded by the same people shooting at his men from Israel.   So when Viktor Bout was recorded by the DEA on the border of Colombia and Venezuela trading soviet rocket launchers for cocaine it stalled Putins operation.   Putin then used his asset Trump to clean up.  Trumps son and security guard awarded a contract to Silvercorp (Jordan Goodreau) to send Luke Denman and Airan Berry into Venezuela where they were set up to be captured and traded back to the U.S. for Fat Leonard and Alex Saab. (Key men in Putins espionage and money laundering circuit) Putin assassinated Litvenenko with polonium laced tea and  kidnapped Britney Griner who was then traded for Putins most incriminating secret chess piece- Viktor Bout.  Bandar Saud had ran interference in the UK demanding prime minister Tony Blair disband the special investigation unit researching Zawahiris Swiss accounts or he "would no longer be able to help the UK stop terrorism".  The 7/7 bus and tube bombings in London sealed the deal and Blair disbanded the SIO.  Tonys is now bolting out of retirement and on Trump's "board of peace" as his wife had been funded by both Prevezon (Russian real estate front) and the Saud ruling family via the Al Yamamah arms trafficking case she represented them in.  This is what "the Epstein files" is.  During the Cold war there were only a few gateways across the iron curtain.  Israel was the major one because it was formed in 1948 by 650,000 refugees.  70% were from the Soviet bloc.  Robert Maxwell traded espionage stolen from the US to Moscow  to build the IDF with arms smuggled through Ukraine.  The Zionist Mafia created the Likud party/Netanyahu to control Israel at the same time they infiltrated the US Republican party via Ronald Reagan and Zionist operative Henry Kissinger managed all the U.S. presidents from inside the oval office. The Saud ruling family funded the Zionists for Iran Contra as Jeffrey epstein ran aviation logistics for les Wexner out of Rickenbacker AFB.  Now they can't stop lying as their transnational corruption eats them alive. Corruption is cancer. But it ALWAYS takes the path of least resistance-   Politicians and Billionaires.

Yeah but that is not what he asked. You brought up healthy and safety in China and how that indicates they are capitalist because their workers work longer. He then asked a question about health and safety regulations, comparing the UK to North Korea and whether the lack of them in North Korea suggests the staunchly communist isolated country is more capitalist than the UK. And then you replied by talking about the scenario that they would be if North Korea might give subsidies to large AI corporations. You can't just accuse others of coping and proclaim that you have all the facts, when you're pulling shit like this. It's all very transparent tbh.

see again this is where you are, in my opinion, absolutely wrong * you are coming with the argument MNOs will enforce this across their user base = they will not, this will be an option for a user to choose as an add on (you should read the contracts with said MNOs, they are not guaranteed revenue, it is wholly dependent on user adoption) * the service itself is of little to 0 value for the vast majority of an MNOs user base, as I touched on previously, which strengthens that point * you say a consumer won't switch because "their monthly bill has increased by $10"...again you are coming at this from a US standpoint, you do realise in the UK people are paying £5 a month for their entire plan, in Greece people are paying 10 euros, france...10 euros, spain/portugal 5-7 euros...you are casually forecasting an MNO doubling the price of someone's plan and saying "oh yeah they'll be fine with it"

\> And we see the oil industry flourishing everywhere without subsidies as well Is that a serious statement? The US, Saudi Arabia, UK, Russia, Iran, China... you get the idea, all subsidize all production Even if you have a smaller nation with zero subsidies (I don't know if there is one), the consumer is still reliant on the subsidies of worldwide oil production to keep the cost low I don't really see a problem with subsidies to protect your energy security but as we have seen recently, the price of oil is clearly held hostage every time there is a major international conflict At least with renewables you can more predictably map where the sun will shine and where the wind will blow

Starmer (UK), Albanese (Australia), and Trump (US) are all making a statement tonight. If I was a betting man, I'm betting on massive escalation.

I bought more energy companies on the dip today. People are seriously underestimating both the scale of the crisis and how long it will last. Which is ironic since the PMs of both Australia and the UK made addresses to their nations today about the crisis, many countries in SE Asia are already rationing fuel, and there's already talk of organizing another SPR release. But sure, we'll be back to $75 a barrel oil in a few months lmao

ComradeFunk

UK and Germany discussing peace terms. UK has to keep Churchill out of power or stocks will crash Let's up cooler heads prevail

Ok-Barracuda39

Apparently, UK has an over-potato problem. Seems like a way to get some cheap food?

ericcc1029

Yeah the way the UK PM was talking didn’t sound like an Iran exit tonight

ericcc1029

If tonight is a taco why would UK and AUS PMs both address their countries today. Makes no sense to me

orsomeshitidk

Are we really gonna retard so hard that the UK gets to rejoin the EU with open arms? Lmao

>🥭 to address US >Anthony Albanese to address Australia >Keir Starmer to address UK World went into lockdown when the last time they addressed their nations together

Approximately 30 to 35 countries are involved in today's UK-hosted coalition talks on securing or reopening the Strait of Hormuz that's why you see non stop bid insiders from 30-35 countries bidding this shit up

I'm from the UK , a few years ago a ex soldier told me he always goes out to middle east to attend to fellow soldiers especially about there mental health...he told me take myself out to middle east, and all that fighting you hear about there on mainstream media... you won't see hardly any of it out there in the flesh Iran conveniently as a media blackout, internet blackout so not many videos are coming out of whats happening in there from the locals...i call BS on this Iran war...Iran and the US are in bed together with this fake war to manipulate the markets especially OIL..it's all Fake News and a Fake War with Mainstream Media putting out stuff to make this BS Believable.

You clearly don't know what led up to the Gulf War do you? Would be like saying the UK started WW2

Hey fellow UK'er, which platform and why the short? It's in such a tight range at the moment.
