They just don't think straight.

This theocracy doesn't think straight.

And they have killed their own citizens en masse when they try and say anything about it, and they treat women as less than humans.

I mean, it's just terrible, terrible, terrible.

It's a terrible regime, just like the Maduro regime was terrible in Venezuela.

But...

If right before we decided to bomb them back to the Stone Age, his words, not mine, there was a deal on the table where we could have gotten rid of all that nuclear fissile material and put it somewhere safe and kept an eye on them in return for the agreement that we would not bomb them back to the Stone Age.

Yeah.

Then why did we then decide to bomb them back to the Stone Age?

It doesn't make much sense because now we are so much worse off than we were in the first place.

Now the Strait of Hormuz.

which carries 80% of the world's oil, not our oil, but 80% of the world's oil.

Correct.

Because there's a petrodollar in the world.

That means that if the demand is high and the supply is low somewhere, the demand is high and the supply is low everywhere.

That's the way it works with the petrodollar.

And it's been that way for years and years and years, as long as I've been alive and I've been alive for 120 years.

Yeah.

So now it used to be just a short three weeks ago that those ships could go anywhere they wanted in the Strait of Hormuz.

And Iran, for the most part, left them alone, with the exception of the Houthis, which sometimes would throw some drone-like attacks at people.
