The final results are in and the winner of the Iran War is...The oil companies.

@petergleick Oil company stock prices seem to tell a different story for the past month. But maybe they will catch up.

@petergleick Let's be fair, in the final results the winner of Iran war is [or will be] Iran.

No American on either side of the political aisle will ever be able to deal with that, so for the Left oil companies and their American investors won; for the Right America [somehow] won because the orange baboon says so.

I don't fully agree with that.

Maybe IRI is looking like a winner, but the blockade is crushing Iranian economy badly.

The rial have reached it's lowest level in history down to 1.9M rial to a dollar, a 50% loss in 6 months.

Prices are increasing daily, it's so bad that restaurants purchase their items at night or evening because they know the price will be higher the next day.

For US, the government is enjoying the massive increase of arms sale as well as massive increase in export of oil.

And Europe, China and Asia are suffering, which is working great for the US long term plans.

Another month of blockade will hurt people in Iran extremely bad so with Europe and Persian Gulf countries.

And of course tRump and his criminal gang are making ridiculous amount of money manipulating the market and gambling when the orange shitler plays the market by his shit posts.

2 months, if we can handle it, will collapse Iran into mass protests and infighting for survival.

@Rastal @petergleick

I disagree with your premise. I think most educated Americans realized the day the war started that Iran had won. Anyone who has read history, or understands geography knows *why* we never kicked this hornet's nest before.

You cannot take Persia. You can't. Not without genocide.

The Iran war was cover for a couple of things.

1.) #Israel attacking, invading and occupying enough of #Lebanon that a MILLION people were displaced.

2.) Jared and Bibi's plans to overland route oil through the #Sahara to #Gaza, turning the Gazan coast into Dubai. Without all those pesky brown people. (An utterly bonkers idea, for so many reasons.)

Bibi ran an op on DiaperDaddy and it worked. Because Trump is a fucking moron who's never cracked a book.

But I've yet to meet anyone, on any political spectrum, of any education level, who thinks attacking #Iran was going to be a win for #America.
