We did not drop bombs to open the straight and President Trump is not begging for a deal. Where do you get this crap from? We are also a exporter of oil. The reason we pay more for it is that they sell it elsewhere for more then they get here or we pay more because of the high global prices. A true crisis would halt that.
Yep! Pres Trump begging for a deal ! Just like the last time i fought Mike Tyson...and he begged me to ease up on him !

" I said dropping bombs will not open the strait. " Well, he has introduced no ground troops, but has bombed the &*@% out of Iran, and the straight is now open and accepting traffic... how did that happen ?
Please keep in mind, the only information we have is what we get from Fox, the fake news, or certain bloggers.. We do not have 1/10th the information the president gas at his fingertips!
There are many instances where having the correct information, makes all the difference.
When the 101st was bottled up in Bastogne in Dec 1944, Gen Eisenhower called Gen Patton, asking how soon he could pivot 3rd Army's 3 divisions (4th armored, and run north 100 miles to relieve the 101st.
Gen Patton said he could do it in 48 hours ! Ike said "surely you are being fgatuous!"...no general and no army in Europe believed that possible ! Even the German army discounted and such type rapid deployment.
But 48 hours after receiving orders the 4th armored, 26th inf, and 80th inf divs arrived, and the 37 tank bn of the 4th broke into Bastogne.
During our revolution Gen Washington sent Gen Greene south to face Cornwallis, after Gen Gates disgrace at Camden. Greene was just to hold until Washington could make way south.
..But Gen Greene was smart in the ways of asymetrical warfare, wearing Cornwallis down, and finally after Wasahington did arrive, forcing the British surrender.
Same way with the Carthegenian army under Hannibal. Hannibal kicked but of several Roman generals, until Fabius maximus who had Hannibal's number, brought about the Carthegenian defeat...
Having key knowledge can make all the difference. Don't be so impatient.. give the G2 a chance..
