Thank you. I wanted to say it.
So you're not concerned with Iran's getting a nuclear weapon?
What's all the fuss about then?
Sounds like a plan
Not having any actual plan i mean
ugh, gas prices going up again... thanks Dennison!
lol @ walls of tweets nobody reads
Thomas Wictor on the Middle East fighting should be a wall of tweets that everybody is required to read.
Thomas Wictor. Author, novelist, and the planet's only expert on World War One flamethrowers.
Oh, sounds legit
TSA's required reading.
I just saw a British program on a huge flamethrower at the Somme. That hiole isn't the only expert.
It’s not just Trump. The US has always broken its treaties, pacts and promises
the US is an unreliable international partner—
and it has long been one,
even before the current administration pulled out from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and
the Paris agreement on climate change, and
threatened to end NAFTA.
History is dotted with treaties that the
US has signed but not ratified,
signed and then unsigned, and
even refused to sign after pushing everyone else to sign.

Damn petroyuan rose 12% since US withdrawal from Iran deal
Also looks like Chinese Oil Company will take over French company if they pull out of Iran. That would basically mean Irans supply will basically belong to china and its petroyuan
making china great again
Not to mention EU is considering dumping US dollar in trades with Iran and trade in Euro
Goddam this could be the move that takes US out of global domination
U.S. OIL INDUSTRY STRUGGLES TO FILL VOID LEFT BY IRAN SANCTIONS
logistical constraints, in particular insufficient pipeline capacity at the heart of the U.S. shale boom in West Texas, are
limiting how quickly American companies will be able to replace any lost Iranian crude exports taken off the global oil market.
The difficulties being experienced in shale country help explain why the
U.S. has talked to large oil producers abroad about ways to increase supply and offset any impact from its exit from the Iran nuclear deal.
The talks were revealed by Steven Mnuchin, treasury secretary, hours after Trump’s announcement on Tuesday.
Oil produced in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico, the white-hot center of the shale boom, is
becoming trapped with no easy route to a refinery or an export terminal.
The hectic pace of drilling and the productivity gains have boosted output from the Permian Basin by 60 percent in the past two years, to 3.2 million barrels a day.
The problem is that the pace of the boom is straining the ability of the region to keep up, with workers, with equipment and with pipelines.
“There is a huge capacity issue,” says John Zanner of RBN Energy, a research firm. “For all intents and purposes, pipelines are full.”

Confirmed French oil co will pull out.
China takeover imminent

EU vows to block blow of US Iran sanctions
he EU said Thursday it will begin moves to block the effect of US sanctions on Iran as efforts to preserve the nuclear deal with Tehran deepened a transatlantic rift.
The decision came as Russia and China took some of their most concrete moves yet to extend their economic influence in Iran, in the face of renewed US efforts to choke off Tehran.

Meanwhile, Iran's oil minister said that Chinese state-owned oil company CNPC was ready to replace Total on a major gas field project in Iran.
Beijing also signalled that it intends to continue "normal and transparent practical cooperation with Iran".
The US says its sanctions apply to any transactions that are conducted in dollars, which are used in most international transactions, in particular in trading of crude oil.
But China has for years been working to increase trade using its currency and in March a yuan-denominated oil contract was launched in Shanghai.
Trump's withdrawal from the deal is now likely to boost China's influence in the region, a European diplomatic source warned.
"The Iran issue will probably reinforce China in the region, because the European businesses that can't take on the cost of difficulties on their American markets will leave an important gap for a power that seems to have no problem with taking their place," the source said.

China's multi-trillion dollar initiative goes through Iran. This made their job easier.
