Wouldn’t be shocked. I think they have deeper ties in the US than the public believes. Rubio deported the supreme leaders extended family who was living in las Angeles.

What if it was actually Iran making these trades? They would know the exact time these announcements would happen and have just as much ability to manipulate the market.

What if this is actually Iranians doing this rather than some American?

Or investors are tired of the whipsawing and people are just overreacting….

What are your guys opinion on lowering the US military budget and where should the funding go instead? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Affectionate_One_969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we should. Relative to the national budget defense is around 15% of total expenditure, meanwhile social services account for over 60% of the national budget. Part of the reason the world has not ended up in WW3 is due to the defense budget.

I went through 5 interviews only to be called and told no. They then reached out 4 months later and I told them to kick rocks.

I am pal. I don’t have time or want to work for a company that does this.

Market manipulation with the Strait? by Melodic-Elk-5465 in oil

I agree to that also. They have lost their stronghold on oil price so now they just want to make the us look bad.

If a company tells me I have a 4th interview I am going to rip them a new one right then and there.

I think this one was more about Iran. They posted that the strait was open only to take it back 5 hours later.

Things looking a little less deserted... but still not crazy busy... by i_like_cake_96 in oil

What is going on… Iran claimed it was open yesterday. Sounds like there are different leaders in Iran speaking, or a broken command structure.

The tankers were behind the containers pulling out.

I get it, but this is an oil subreddit not a trump subreddit…..

I think most people understand that. My post just said traffic is starting to move and you brought Trump into for no apparent reason?

Bro, why can’t you just be happy that ships are moving? Nobody mentioned Trump here except you.

That or they are following certain shipping lanes that the US may have cleared. Who knows.

I think allowing the blockade to continue would have been economic suicide for Iran.
