Did Xi execute designer Yang Wei for, in part at least, the piss poor performance of Chinese Hardware during this conflict? ... probably, but the extent of sensationalism is questioned
Russia imposed their own sanctions on unfriendly European countries.
Russia will not sell oil to countries backing Western price cap, a top diplomat has said
Russia will not supply oil to countries backing the price cap as global demand has surged amid the Middle East conflict, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko says

Don't you find it a bit odd that Europe is clutching their pearls and calling for us to surrender to stop the fighting while the Muslim Arabs that are actually in the middle east and are actually getting hit are saying "finish Iran off so we can be rid of them" ?
Also, since modern European has proven to be useless, why should we care what their opinions are ?
Also, where did you get that the war was wildly unpopular here ? You take your poll at a no kings rally ?
A bunch of elderly cat ladies marching in the street for no reason is not indicative of the opinion of the country as a whole.

You really need to find more diverse sources of information.
Nobody claimed there wouldn't be temporary increases in oil prices. It's obvious that would happen, but it's necessary in the long run.
Was he bitching and whining when oil was $120 under his boy Biden?

And we might finally get peace in the middle east out of this.
What did we get in exchange for the Biden's price spike ? What were we even *trying* to get ?
Ice cream. Lots of ice cream.

Lifting the sanctions on Russian oil doesn't really compute

With the straights blocked Europe has no or little oil production . Trump lifted the sanctions on Russia in order to give Europe a breather .
Russia said We dont want your stinking Euros and cheese go fuck yourself .

Well, the world is dumping gold and buying dollars. They know we're the only game in town. What most Americans dont get, is if the petro dollar crumbles, life in America will get extremely expensive virtually overnight.
Wrong. Countries are massively stockpiling Gold and Silver.

Avoiding Crisis in Iran: George Friedman on the Path to Negotiation
On this episode of Talking Geopolitics, GPF Chairman George Friedman joins host Christian Smith to discuss the military pressures facing Washington and Tehran, the expanding scope of the conflict, and what it can tell us about the future of war.

More oil on the market lowers the price of oil.
High oil prices are one of the major political obstacles for Trump to continue the operation.
It makes perfect sense once you acknowledge that the Iran deal is a higher priority than Ukraine for Trump.
Also with Russia no longer getting drones and missiles from Iran, that extra money isn't going to help them so much.
Cutting off that supply line hurts them far more than the sanctions .

I'm not so sure about the Daily Mail. I'll be interested in what other news sources are saying.
But it has been reported that JD Vance has been in the diplomacy camp, so maybe there's something to it. IDK

Sen. John Kennedy reveals what he hopes President Trump’s war message pivots to—and his biggest fear if it doesn’t.
“I’ve seen that vampire movie before. It doesn’t work!”
“We knew we had to destroy all of Iran’s air force, its navy, its drones… and the baby steps that it had started to take to gain a nuclear warhead.”
“That was why we went in. We have done that. We either have done it or we’ll be finished doing it in the next few weeks.”
“And I hope the president will say… ‘I’ve accomplished what we wanted to accomplish, and we’re coming home.’”
“The criticism will be made if the president does what I just said. ‘Well, Iran still has fissile material. Enriched uranium.’”
“Yes. Buried about 1,000 ft deep under a bunch of rocks. And we’ll be able to know if they’re trying to dig it out, and we can send in another bomb.”
“And others will say, ‘Well, Mr. President, you didn’t have regime change.’ We wanted regime change. It didn’t happen. So should we send in 50,000, 100,000, 150,000 troops to try to take over Iran?”
“I’ve seen that vampire movie before. It doesn’t work!”
“It’s time to come home, in my opinion.”
STEPHEN A. SMITH: “So you’re clearly against boots on the ground. You don’t want American soldiers in Iran?”
KENNEDY: “I think we’ll be walking into a quagmire, and once we get in, it will never get out.”

Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth Fires Top General Who Opposed Iran Ground Invasion
Gen. Randy George, as Army Chief of Staff, was responsible for preparing and equipping the Army for large-scale combat.
He reportedly expressed serious concerns about the high risks, enormous costs, and potential heavy casualties of a full-scale ground invasion of Iran a large, mountainous country with a battle-hardened military.
You can no longer warn about the dangers to our soldiers without getting fired.
Gen. Randy George was ousted today for raising serious concerns about a major U.S. ground war in Iran.
If protecting American lives gets you removed… who will protect our troops now?
Experts warn that Iran would be far worse than Afghanistan or Iraq

This is not good. If he was loud and vocal about it to the media maybe I could get him being fired, but if he followed the chain of command with his warnings then this is scary. A leader who doesn’t listen to wise council is a bad leader. Anyone with two brain cells could tell you heavy casualties is a great possibility of a ground war with Iran.
Not many in the USA want or will accept a ground war. I don’t want a ground war.
You and I don't really have a choice in the matter. You'll accept it, because you don't have a choice to reject it.
