The thing about oil is countries don’t want to sell it all…
The higher the prices per barrel, the more banks lend them on their reserves.
trump might just want to increase the value of “his” oil, and to do that you stop someone from being able to sell any of theirs.
Like…
I dunno man, I rewatched The Sopranos recently and as inept as Tony and the crew really was, that’s what trump wants to be, he’s just even worse at it.
So anytime I need to try and understand trump, I think what would Tony Soprano do, and how would he pull it off if he was on a 3 day blackout.
And it usually lands pretty close.
But this on its own is a big parallel to the Boston Tea party, it was a bunch of rich smugglers who wanted their tea to be worth more, so they destroyed a bunch of British tea and tricked idiots into thinking paying 10x for tea was a good thing…
A bunch of rich smugglers were mad the British seized their untaxed tea, and we’re selling it.
The smugglers had a small amount of tea, but we’re being undercut by legal tea. If they sold their tea, it would be the end of their business.
So the attacked the ship holding their seized tea so no one could buy it.
They then claimed it was for the benefit of colonists, and the colonist should clap because the smugglers were going to sell what they had at like 10x the price…
If this isn’t a parallel to trump fucking with ME oil to increase the price of American oil, can you please elaborate how?
That articles agrees that it was wealthy smuggler like John Hancock who planned it, and that they used “useful idiots” that acted against their own interests…
Did you forget the part of the comment where you apologized for being wrong?
Did you misunderstand that article so badly you think it disagrees with me?
Did you even read it?
I have so many questions, but I know you have no answers.
For anyone else reading this, the Boston Tea Party was citizens revolting against corporatism, which is why this aspect of its importance isn’t taught in traditional schools.

Biden may have been “sleepy Joe,” but Trump is the Nod Father.
Countries run by smart, sane people don’t want to sell it all, but WTF does that have to do with the US?
All Trump sees is an opportunity for a pump-and-dump because he doesn’t have to care about the long term.
You need to learn more about the Boston Tea Party. My username is a start.
