According to Nikkei Asia, China is restarting imports of US energy, with tanker tracking data indicating that around 600,000 barrels per day of American crude oil are scheduled to be loaded in April. The shift marks a resumption of energy trade between the United States and China following a suspension of purchases triggered by earlier trade tensions.

Industry sources told Reuters that China is likely to extend its refined fuel export curbs through April, with limited exemptions for countries facing acute shortages. Talks are underway to allow small volumes of diesel, jet fuel and gasoline to Southeast Asian markets.

Export quotas for April could range from about 150,000 to 300,000 metric tons, with shipments likely to Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Vietnam. The selective easing highlights Beijing’s effort to maintain regional market influence while managing tight domestic supply.

The resumption of China’s purchases of US crude oil and LNG appears to reflect limited strategic flexibility for Beijing, as disruptions to supplies from Venezuela and the Middle East constrain its options.

However, Chinese state media and commentators have framed the development differently, portraying it as a competitive win over Japan in securing US energy supplies.

“Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi returned from the US with ‘alliance commitments’, only to see China swiftly secure large volumes of US crude and LNG that Japan had hoped to obtain,” Liang Mi, a Sichuan-based columnist, writes in an article on Thursday.

damn it. Trump failed the mission seeing multiple sources saying a deal was reached.

Also everyone who unironically believes Trump would drop a nuke on Iran is a retard.

Tbh, it depends on what kind of deal, whether I consider this TACO or not.

Some USAF aerial refueling planes of have turned back in the Mediterranean after being en-route on a mission towards Iran. Could mean something (major operation against Iran called off), could also be a misinterpretation or mean nothing at all.


People are fleeing Tehran.

B-52s are supposedly entering ME airspace.


The Shahid Mahallati Naval Boatyard in Bushehr manufactured and repaired small boats used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Navy. This facility represented a significant portion of Iran's small boat construction and maintenance capability.

I have no idea what's going to happen, just keep monitoring.

Ya know, this never would have happened if Trump hadn't churro-ed Maduro.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Well, this doesn't look good for a ceasefire.

 

[los pepes]

The reaction from the thirdoids and globos if there is a ceasefire will be only slightly less comical than if there was not one...

Trump: open up the strait fuckos and agree to a cease fire or ill shoah your country

Iran: in light of your pathetic failed attacks on our ummah, we will agree to a victorious ceasefire and opening of the strait

btw the current head of the IRGC, Ahmad Vahidi, directly organized the bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina killing 85. He's still wanted by Interpol

[Kiwifarmsname]

My bets are on more bombings of bridges and maybe some power plants. But little more.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Airstrikes on Iran's coast.

They're trying to save face by forcing Trump to be the one to make the final acceptance of terms.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

"So far, there is a Pakistani paper on the table, negotiations are ongoing up to this moment, the atmosphere is positive towards some of the ideas put forward, nothing is final due to the presence of sticking points. The issue of a regional ceasefire is among the ideas currently on the table, but again, nothing is final until an agreement is reached." - Ali Hashem, senior Al Jazeera correspondent.

Looks like they turned back and are just circling now, waiting for final orders.

Do not post things like this unsubstantiated.

Perhaps there is an expert here who can weigh the significance. I think it is not an arbitrary phrasing.

X is saying a missile was launched at southern israel.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why third worldists and other browns just jump to CBRN instead of the simple logic of "everything is getting bombed"

Tucker Carlson is a foul cunt and an absolute snake.

https://x.com/ryansaavedra/status/2041317542174806040?s=46

Just earlier this year, he very flippantly approved the use of nuclear weapons on Iran. You could say “well only in his specific hypothetical”, but listen to his tone of voice.

These are not sincerely held beliefs. He is shifting his tone because he knows the winds are blowing against Trump in his audience.

I have family that watch him and are being persuaded by his bullshit. And I don’t know how to tell them they’re probably being psyop’d by the Chinese and used by a grifter. These types of people gross me the fuck out.

Who even is his "target audience"? We all know groypers are brown pedos and/or virgins who want to be pedos and/or closeted gays, but who watches Tucker?
