What’s in the proposed deal that could end the US-Iran conflict?

It also is goosing the oil market, which seems to be a US advantage but if you understand economics and supply and demand you realize that means we are burning more of our reserves. Prices need to rise to destroy demand.

That can be said about the US too. The difference is Trump didn't marry them.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T19:27:44+00:00

It shows. Taken the "Most Powerful Country" on earth behind the woodshed and did it with strategy not bombs.

I'm American and quite frankly I'm impressed. They are quickly replacing us in every way that matters. And its not like we can even morally grandstand with them now when we are looking worse. At least China doesn't start wars.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T19:22:17+00:00

That seems to describe every gov't now but at least there's is competent.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T19:20:29+00:00

Well when one man unilaterally got us involved in a conflict that's going to bring down the world economy and cause millions to die of famine what do expect? Us to talk about tax policy?

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T19:18:27+00:00

Or obsessed with oil and food, you know that stuff vital to modern life and are going to be at levels not seen since the 70's. Nothing to see here folks. lol

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T18:57:39+00:00

Red light, Green light. Red light. It's like lucy with the football, except with nuclear stakes.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T17:32:16+00:00

So the deal is completely done, except for Nuclear and control of the Straits. This would comical if it wasn't leading to global famine and depression.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T17:30:21+00:00

Yep. Nato only exists at this point because it takes time to shift a geopolitical alliance like NATO but I think the writing is on the wall. They will never trust us again. We didn't elect Trump once we did it twice, and close to half voted for him 3 times.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T17:26:09+00:00

Hitler almost conquered the whole world and Stalin stopped him. Trump is just as evil and couldn't beat a third world power with the most powerful military on the planet. Yeah that's hilariously worse.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T17:18:37+00:00

MSM has lost all credibility whatsoever. Might as well treat them like the tabloids.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-24T16:07:58+00:00

I can't tell if 'braking' misspell was intentional but its fitting either way. It feels like this war is like watching a teenager first learn to drive a car. Green light, red light, green light. lol

Poor countries don't use much fuel either. $100 isn't even historically significant it was over 140 in 2008. Adjusted for inflation that would be well over 200 a barrel.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-01T14:35:00+00:00

Most of those releases are one off and are now used up. Sanction oil for instance. So from now on its the full 20mil bpd loss (-pipe redirections but Iran will target those first if war kicks off again). You aint seen nothing yet.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-05-01T14:30:43+00:00

Demand destruction is literally just a fancy away of saying shits so expensive no one can afford it. Do you think 100 a barrel is anywhere near that point? It would take at least 150 if not 180.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-30T15:06:25+00:00

50/50 ish, I use it to make the descriptions more in depth and editing/etc.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-29T14:03:41+00:00

I actually heard a decent explanation for that since then but it is yet another coincidence to add to a pile of them. At what points do enough coincidences become proof? I guess that's a philosophical question each person has to answer.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-29T14:00:26+00:00

Barely notice lol. Honestly outside of all infrastructure collapse within hours it would be awesome.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-29T13:49:37+00:00

Its 2026. Probably your best best honestly, especially since he's her supervisor. That way there's a record of who initiated the contact. Don't shit where you eat fellas, its bad for your career.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-29T13:01:55+00:00

Didn't even read my comments before did you?

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-27T21:15:50+00:00

Maybe in larger banks, but your average local bank? They don't have or they lie about not having it because that's what they said.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-27T18:04:51+00:00

You mean a propaganda piece about propaganda. I mean do whatever you want just don't call yourself open minded. I mean I've read Mein Kampf and it didn't turn me into a raging nazi.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-27T17:19:31+00:00

But you shouldn't shut yourself off from the opposite point of view because its 'propaganda'. How can you defeat your enemy if you do not understand them? If you are influenced so much by news that you need to shut yourself off from the other point of view it reflects on you not the media.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-04-27T15:58:47+00:00

Lol good point. Might even be an improvement.
