"In addition to helping the Iranians kill American military personnel (seven have died and 140 have been injured since the start of the war, per the AP), the Russians are helping the Iranians choke off the global supply of oil at the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranians attacked three tankers Wednesday. They attacked three more today. They attacked a port in Oman. They forced ports in Iraq to close."

"Around a quarter of the world’s oil passes through the strait. Iran’s new leader vowed to keep it shut. Oil prices are soaring.
With prices soaring, the Russians have taken in $7 billion in oil revenues in the last week and stand to take in more. …
When Trump talked to Putin on Monday, did he ask if intelligence or drones given by Russia to Iran led directly to any of those seven deaths [of US soldiers]?"

"Did he threaten an investigation? Did he ask how much responsibility Russia is ready to bear? Did he tell Putin there would be future consequences? Did Trump, you know, stand up to the man who’s helping kill his own people?
Another commander-in-chief would have. With Trump, however, there’s a sense he’s not responsible. When troops die, he seems unmoved by their sacrifice."

"Trump posted on Truth Social today that Americans shouldn’t be concerned about high gas prices: 'The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.'
… The multi-national oil companies operating in the US make a lot of money. The average American gets screwed. Which pretty much sums up Trump and the Republican Party’s approach to the economy."
