This strikes a couple of items off his bucket list.
It gets the price of crude up for his investors.
It buys Putin some more time.
It threatens the arms commitments that are keeping Ukraine in the fight.
It totally disrupts the economies of all the countries that depend on trade through the Strait of Hormuz and further destabilizes the region as a whole.
It gives the Zealots encouragement that their Holy War is upon us and "The End Is Nigh”, fulfilling the Gospel of Prosperity.
This, and MORE all in time for the Mid-Terms.
Winning!!!!!!!!
