It is not a blockade. Idiots. So if there is no blockade, it is not "amid US blockade".

A blockade is a specific legal thing, an act of war. Where you stop all ships using military means. The US is using legal means to make it very expensive for countries like Mexico to send oil, which is not a blockade.

So it is not surprising that the US will not stop these Russian ships.

There has been talk about Trump just "declaring victory", and then going home. If Iran had held these two Americans as prisoners of war, that would have been much harder for Trump to do.

Best Easter since 2026 years ago.

What does that even mean?

"Think of the children".

Gold is fluctuating wildly in price. It is meaningless to talk about measuring commodity prices in gold.

It could very well be. If I were a Russian psy-op, then I would post exactly stuff like this. But who knows.

A Shakespeare quote is relevant here, about those blowhards:

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

It allowed unserious people to sound tough on Iran on TV. But until Trump, there were no chance of them actually going through with it, if given power. They truly had to ignore even the most basic of Iran expertise, known even to laymen like me.

Everybody but Trump knew that Iran would close the strait of Hormuz. Which made it incredibly stupid to go to war with Iran. For reasons which are right now self evident, not that they were not evident before.

So no, nobody but a mentally declining idiot like Trump would have gone to war with Iran.

along with depleted inventories

Well, what do you think is causing the depleted inventories? Surely the lack of foundry availability.

a) is it BS

The tobacco plant is a model plant, the go-to for genetic engineering experiments. So often when scientists want to test creating a bio-factory, they will try to modify a tobacco plant.

I am knowledgeable in ethnobotany and psychedelics and I cannot see what this might produce other than nausea and delirium.

The idea is not to smoke the resulting tobacco plant with some funky mix of psychedelics. But to extract and purify the compounds from the bio-factory. Resulting in a better production chain than however the compounds are typically made today.

The Iran War seems likely to be a result of Trump's fancy though, not a move chosen by Trump's puppeteers.

While Vance is a puppet of Thiel, this is not a zero sum game. Vance would probably do less damage than Trump.
