WEEKEND SNEED UPDATE: MAYBE THE BULLSHIT WILL END SOON?
Oil futures had a crazy open with a big wick showing that people were trying to bid all over the place, but the fat bars are where it actually caught:
Put another way, oil line go down.
Kharg island is showing a third tanker loading, seven more at anchorage, five already laden. Trump is letting them. See above.
Iran's internal situation is a big fat fucking mess. 32K went to Afghanistan, 4K to Pakistan. 20 provinces report some kind of displacement. Shelters at capacity. Airports and most border crossings are officially closed. The IOM (International Organization for Migration) described "increasingly complex mobility patterns" which is bureaucrat-faggot for "people are going any way they can in every fucking direction." Put another way, Iran's fucked. I'm not sure why this isn't talked about more.
Why Iran being fucked matters: 90 million some odd people with nothing to do but hate the people who ruined their country can become a problem very quickly. Crime and profiteering isn't good for anyone. China is going to stick their little yellow dick into it no matter what at this rate.
The Pope, Leo XIV, demanded a ceasefire. He's doing pope stuff. If only he'd call out Israel.
Europe: still fucking sucks. France and Italy are negotiating directly with Iran for passage rights, which is splitting the EU. Some European states object to direct contacts with Iran. Meanwhile EU foreign ministers will discuss expanding the Aspides naval mission to cover Hormuz. South Korea is "considering" sending warships. Germany still says no. The coalition is forming as a messy patchwork, not a unified command. Germany is faggot. Wonder why.
Iran threatened to kill Netanyahu, lol.
Iran threatened logistics supporting the Ford carrier group. lol. They really can't do shit.
An Italian remotely piloted aircraft was destroyed by an Iranian drone at the Kuwaiti base. All Italian personnel safe. Italy is now "considering withdrawing forces from Iraq." Italy is bitchmade.
Lebanon is circulating a peace proposal but Jews.
I hope this ends sooner than later but hey.
EDIT: I'm regarded (very, very highly regarded) and forgot to check the stonks:
Line go up. Huh. Still pre market, Monday could be retarded either way. But it seems the people with money and tiny hats think this is ending soon.
