About 130 million barrels of Russian #oil is currently at sea….
The move by the #Trump admin could further divide the #US & #Europe, which has been skeptical of Trump’s attack on #Iran & has expressed a desire to continue to exert economic pressure on #Russia.
Fishman said he did not think that easing the Russia oil #sanctions would lower prices, noting that the move last week to let Russian oil be delivered to India did not have any impact.
“'Demand their participation'? 'Calling upon the world to take care of this problem'? Mike Waltz’s dumb boss (and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu) decided to do this dumb shit. The rest of the world does not have to be dragged because after they dove into this without consulting them, Leroy Jenkins-style."

"Because when you’ve spent years bullying and humiliating them, pulling out of alliances, slapping tariffs, threatening to abandon NATO and then one day you desperately need them to help you open a 33km strait, don’t be surprised when nobody is in a rush to answer your call."

"Two brutal lessons from the Strait of Hormuz crisis:
1. No matter how powerful your navy or how big your superpower status, if geography isn’t in your favour, you’re stuck.
2. Treat your allies with respect."

"The response to the Trump’s trial balloon of a global coation to provide escorts was decidedly negative. ...
Trump is just beginning to understand the ramifications of trash-talking our allies for the last year. Having been dismissed and demeaned, they are in no hurry to help the US fix the crisis that Trump created."

"But this isn’t a case of oderint dum metuant — let them hate so long as they fear. Instead, the world increasingly holds America in contempt. ...
What’s especially depressing about that Politico poll is that it was taken a month ago. That is, it reflects international attitudes before the debacle in Iran."

"A stunning poll from Politico — just released, but taken last month — confirms what I and other observers strongly suspected: America is now widely despised, despised like nobody has ever been despised before.
I don’t mean that we’re disliked, although that too."

Orban is afraid of democracy.
Orban is a puppet of Putin, wreaking havoc and making the EU #parliament dysfunctional, by blocking and delaying #EU resolutions, including crucial aid to #Ukraine.
"Mr Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of russia and china... You turned your country into a banana republic! You robbed your people and enriched your family and friends."
"Under your rule #Hungary has become one of the poorest and officially the most corrupt country in the EU."
Thank you, Moritz Körner for stepping up to the bully. Now, #Hungarian people should do the same. Otherwise, Hungary will turn into another Belarus, or worse yet - russia.
