There Is Only One Way This War Is Going To End

Krasnov is going to have to pay Iran an enormous sum of money to end the war. (remember the wheelbarrows full of money) Krasnov is going to have to pay truckloads of money and not just from frozen Iranian assets.

That’s what’s going to end it. They are getting choked off from all income. If the storage runs out it’s over. Iran would have to physically shut down its oil production at the well.

Iran doesn’t have 4 months of anything. They will need to cap wells. When you cap a well a percentage will not come back. Plus it’s very expensive. They don’t have the equipment to run around and cap all wells in 10 days. Do they have 30 days. Maybe. They will have economically collapsed long before 4 months. They will start spilling oil if they can’t shut down.

Apparently you missed this story:

According to a Washington Post report, the leaked classified intelligence assessment found that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing severe economic hardship — significantly longer than the White House has suggested.

And have contacts still there. The economics of the country not so much. There only real export was oil. They are not exporting oil or chemicals now. There oil fields can’t flow without storage.

All of these are true.

... from this needless and aggressive war action. Then there are the many deaths we have caused. The families are owed anguish, pain and suffering enumerations,.. especially the families of the 175 dead school girls. Palantir Technological owned by Peter Thief who sold the US military the Artificial Intelligence data for recommended bombing run targets should pay damages to the US military for the bogus info they provided about suitable and recommended bombing targets.

What is fair is fair. Aggressive warmongers must be called to the carpet and forced to reimburse for their barbaric and uncivil actions to invade or attack other sovereign states. Russia and Putie are you too listening ?
