It goes without saying, but "we" do not own any oil or gas. Rich investors from a number of different countries own this oil and gas. If you are reading this, you don't own any of it. You will not benefit from a single oil or gas sale.

Having violated the Easter truce, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked Novaya Kakhovka, and a civilian was injured, according to the authorities.

🔴 Western sources: Iran-US talks held directly in Islamabad

The negotiations between the delegations of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, with the presence of the Pakistani host, were held directly in Islamabad.

I guess he really thought that this whole thing could be handled over lunch?

It's getting harder and harder for me to believe the "insider reports" that Vance was a war skeptic and the lone voice in the Trump administration supposedly pushing back.

I get the feeling that maybe he believes getting up and walking out of negotiations makes him look like a badass, but it just makes him look like he is crap at diplomacy.

Today is the big day for Hungary as they hold their parliamentary elections. I'm certainly no expert on Hungarian politics, but these Western-chauvinist, Europhilic parties are all the same. "Our stodgy, old leadership is archaic and dumb, doesn't understand the new ways, and we need more Iphones and butt-sex and then we will get rich like the Western Europeans (whose economies are all stagnant or in decline). Our future is in being corporate whores, and the only way to solve our problems is to hand over sovereignty to a large, incompetent bureaucracy."

Last night, two supertankers attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but abruptly turned around after news of the breakdown in negotiations between the US and Iran emerged.

Bloomberg reports this, citing ship tracking data. According to them, the vessels in question are the "Agios Fanourios I", heading to Iraq, and the "Shalamar", bound for the UAE.

The change in course of the two tankers coincided with the news that the US and Iran failed to reach an agreement.

Now things are about to really get interesting. Even though the Strait was closed about 6 weeks ago, a large amount of oil that passed through before the war was still moving towards its destinations. We are talking about very large, very slow moving tankers, so the oil continued to flow on thos maritime conveyor belt. However, the oil on this belt has basically reached the end of the line, and from here on out, it is empty. Even if the Strait were opened tomorrow, it would take 6 weeks for oil to reach its destination in many cases.

Tucker:

All American presidents since 1963 have done, substantially, what Israel wanted them to do."

"The problem is not simply Trump."

Tucker then goes on to ask what the mechanism of control is.

I think there are several factors, in order of relevance:

-The influence of Jewish money in politics, the media, and business

-Christian evangelicalism, which literally believes in creating Greater Israel to usher in the end times

-The belief that supporting Israel relieves Republicans from accusations of racism

-The view that Israelis are "actually white like us" unlike those dirty, brown Arabs (co-opted racialist politics; this is actually a view I hear from boomers)

The sad fact is, a good portion of Jewish power in the USA is derived from the stupidity and ignorance of non-jews. Of course, much of that has been instilled over time and by design.

I'll save you from the bulk of Trump's latest bowel movement from the most ironically named "Truth Social." Basically, Trump has announced that he is responding to Iran's decision not to bend over to the USA in negotiations by blockading the Strait of Hormuz.

He also mentions that "noone who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," and that these vessels will be interdicted in international waters. So, I guess we will now be attacking commercial vessels from a number of countries.

The UK says it will not take part in US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed earlier today that "the UK will send warships to help, and probably other countries will too."

Oil markets open in less than 4 hours. Things may get interesting. Now nobody will get any oil through the Strait at all...

Putin discussed the conflict with the Iranian President, and Pezeshkian congratulated all Orthodox Christians on Easter.

The leaders discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Iranian American talks in Islamabad on April 11. Putin confirmed Russia's readiness to mediate for long term peace in the region.
