I thought "Dark Brandon" was supposed to be some kind of superhero. Superhero's would not let this stand.

This was a video from Zeihan posted in the last tanker theft. He gives a good quick breakdown of what he thinks this signals geopolitically. Basically, the US is taking a step back
in its role as world economic policeman, as that policy was during a time when we wanted to call on allied troops if necessary. He speculates the entire foundation of China's economic success internationally is founded on the idea that the US would continue to self fund it's never ending role as world policeman.

What do you mean 'right now'. The IRG has been attacking with hit and runs for the past 10 years

Time for Operation Praying Mantis II.

George Washington wouldn't know wtf "oil" was and would be overwhelmed by a huge metal ship.

Well, he crossed the Mississippi in one, so I doubt he'd be overwhelmed.

Who's got time to worry about oil tankers, when poopy pants biden is worried about sending troops to the border. Even though border crossings are down 90%.

Anyway... I'm little upset that Chick-fil-a forgot my pickles on my sandwich. How do you forget the pickles. This is a outrage.

FJB silent while arranging his 10% 'big guy' cut on the tankers.

8 years of Obama and 2 years of Biden?

What I see is Trump killing Iranian General Soleimani, Quds Force leader (covert section of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard) as they planned an attack on the US Embassy in Iraq. Our enemies knew better than to mess with Trump.

I suppose Biden would go easy on Iran if they agree to pay 5 members of his family $1M each (w/10% for the Big Guy).

Troops at the border will eventually be used to keep us in.

The level of pure evil and incompetence the Biden ministration has projected onto America is immeasurable.

Everything is horrible.

Everything is worse. And they sit there and lie about it every damn day. It's criminal.

We are seriously ****ed.

I feel like this type of stuff, Russia war with Ukraine, and so much more bad stuff simply does not happen with Orange Man Bad in office.

I am just about 100% confident there is no Russia/Ukraine war with him in office.

Iran fires ballistic missiles at our troops in Iraq and Syria

Iran fires ballistic missiles at shipping in the Red Sea

Iran is building and nearly complete with nuclear bombs.

we are putting up two 80 year olds to see who is the first to complete a sentence without mangling the pronunciation of words.

Half of us will vote for anything with a D behind its name.
The other half seem enchanted with a Cult of Personality whose leader sends out ALL CAPS messages befitting a 3rd grade boy.
Idiocracy wasn't just a funny movie.

Who owns the tankers? That matters.

Also include who bought the oil.

Some of you are trying way too hard to equate Trump with the inept Biden. There's only one man that owns the failures of the last 3 years and the world reaction to it…and that's Biden.
