Hilarious.
Trump attacks Iran
Iran shuts down oil
Markets crash
Who could have predicted this?
Anyone interested in stealing from YOUR retirement account through market manipulation
This is all part of the plan of men smarter than the pissbag
- they are trying to crash everything. they will be dead within the next year or so and do not want us to live either.
Trump: “There should be no consequences for my actions.”
- There never have been before 🤷‍♂️
- Trump: starts a war
  Also Trump: Don't retaliate!
  Attacked country: retaliates
  Trump: surprised pikachu
If I were China I would tell him to pound sand since he's been being bellicose about china in the panama canal. Also they're friendly with Iran so Iran could just let chinese flagged ships through and attack anyone else.
Maybe marco should have tried harder to convince mushroom dick into not joining a fucking war just because bibi asked him to.
Fucking-A... How mentally challenged is the US to ask this of the country they declared a trade war against???
Trump's Art of the Deal involves lots of getting on his knees.
- Trump has never seen a crayon he thought tasted gross
  
  Even the green ones?
Ok so like if China did do that, whats in it for them?
Also, if the price of oil spikes will that cause a market crash that crashes the housing bubble? Seems like this might be a entirely-too-fucked-up way to make housing affordable again.
- Trump will do one of his deals and trade Taiwan sovereignty for access to oil.
  
  ...fuck
- China gets to not have oil shortages. They're far more dependent on the middle east for oil. The US has been self sufficient when it comes to oil for almost a decade.
  
  Iran could easily allow China-bound ships and shut out everyone else, which they'll probably do if China pushes for it.
  
  so Trump is asking China to help itsef as the US won't be affected at all. Did I understand you interpretation correctly?
Xi could present Trump a map of the middle east with Taiwan moved off the coast of Oman and negotiate for uncontested seizure of Taiwan within a week
I don't think China needs Marco Rubidiot to tell them they're dependent on oil.
- But are they dependent on OPEC oil when they are buying Russia's?
Xi: LOL!!!
