The world blames iran for 'closing' SOH. From what i know, International maritime law states ownership of waterways 12 miles from the coast of a soverign nation. For the US I am sure its more. But for Iran - this doesnt seem to apply. Many rules of engagement have been forgotten. The double standard is amazing - and we accept it! Still oil at 100 - obviously we live in an apparition of reality. Any effort to decode what's really going on is a fools errand.

Good night JJ.

Re: your morning updates. I look forward to them every morning and even if there's not a lot of action just hearing your take on what you think is going on is valued.

"two, three countries draw the short straw".

JJ, so Europe (without Russia) and Asia (without China) are two countries.

Seriously?

Funny how Israel isn't being discussed at all. No way they let these IRGC losers stay in charge. I wonder how they will top the exploding beepers next. I'm sure they are up to something novel.

Something exploding at the spam/phishing call centers every time they call my cell phone.

The most hilarious take from this:

"A whopping 41 % of those, earning m-o-r-e than 300.000 USD/py said they were living paycheck to paycheck."

Those are less than 2 percent of wage earners.

Hello J.J.

Great call on passing on the morning missive.

Keep trusting your gut.

It has served you well.

Cut your losses and reposition.

Live to fight another day.

I really think 1 thing is being ignored.

You can not debate crazy.

You want the Uranium.

You ain't getting it.

China isn't going to get it.

I don't think it goes anywhere.

Maybe it does not have the uranium to give.

Everybody lies.

Leave the key under the mat is a possibility...

As is blowing up Kharg island.

what can I say...

It is what nobody is talking about.

The blockade has "cost" $400,000,000 a day for how long???

You ain't got their attention.

Make it The whole enchilada.

They aint' given up what they ain't got.

You do not have to put boots on the ground to shove it all in.

Russian oil unsanctioned by President Trump.

China gets oil from any seller except Iran.

Trump groes to China.

Putin follows

President Trump says the midterms don't matter.

Everybody has problems

BUT

Not everybody is Crazy.

Maybe losing $2 Billion a day cures crazy.

AND

More playas make more munee.

the only exception?

Crazy.

Things that make you go Hmmm...

Cheers,
