It will bite Asia and Africa first, followed by South America and Europe and then us and China. I would not be surprised to see China get its own flagged tanker and sail it to Iran and try and bring out a load of oil for itself and see what Trump does. He blinked when Russia took a tanker to Cuba so it would be worth a try. If it works, I bet you'd see more and more China flagged tankers and Donnie defeated and deflated again.

Those tankers need to get unscrambled ASAP. Any more interference risks chain reactions with unpredictable consequences. Dum's superpower is creating incredible messes, and then pitting clean up crews against each other.

Lord please, take him now.
