Trump, Miller and Hegseth sure do know who to war.

A strategic masterclass: Iran’s oil income has doubled since Feb 28. We get the battlefield optics, they get the cash. This is exactly what happens when you improvise a war just to distract from the Epstein files. Truly, a “victory” worth paying for.

1. We May Be Kicking Their Ass With Bombs

But they are owning us in every other way

2. So that everyone understands this...

The US allows Iranian export BECAUSE the clients are China and India among others... so in reality, Iran is NOT making a mint in spite of the war... it's the US allowing the export as to not screw over China and India.

Unlike the US, a number of Asian countries absolutely rely on that oil

3. Desperately weak

The "clients" don't matter. Iran is still making bank from the oil sales.

I'm wondering if you even read this before you posted it.

4. But now oil is $115/barrel vs $65/barrel before the war

So Iran's profits per barrel have skyrocketed.
