Iran updates: Pakistan seeks 2-week pause after Trump warns 'whole civilization will die' if no deal by deadline
www.cnbc.com
The near closure of the Strait of Hormuz since the war began has led to a historic oil supply shock, which quickly sent global energy prices soaring.

Relevant tweet:

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

    Nah, won’t happen. Iran is probably going to get a nuke or two. But then everybody will stay silent because nobody is dumb enough to go on a MAD war against someone as dumb as the pedohitler.

    What will most surely happen is that the US will become North Korea level of pariahs. Nobody will want to touch that shithole with a 10m pole. And no country will want to accept an US refugee because they’ll be seen as either murderers or a liability.

      I do have to wonder if other countries are trying to smuggle in snipers to take out Trump without having to resort to a nuke. He’s always been erratic but now he’s doing full-blown meltdowns and he’s old and dying anyway so it’s not like there’s gonna be any long-term consequences for him either way. Countries are getting nervous.

        I wonder if the NATO countries have secret plans to kill him.

        I’m sure Denmark wants him gone sooner rather than later.

          We are at a point where only Israel is pleased with Trump. Literally everyone else wants him to throw a clot. Israel is powerful but they alone are not going to rescue Trump.

            Israel clearly operated the security systems and cameras at Epsteins residences. Thats what all of this goes back to-- Israel taking extremely adverserial action against their “ally”. So now they have videos of trump raping and killing children, and they are using it to kill and terrorize people they dont like, same as they always do.

            This absurd level of corruption and scheming would seem unbelievably over the top in a cheap spy book, but its actual reality.
