I’ve been pondering a number of questions over the last several days, and one that has dominated my mind is the question about Iran’s involvement in our Ukraine policy. From the beginning of the Ukraine crisis, I could see the American population being herded by all the usual suspects. Their own government and media have been lying to them consistently and recklessly about the situation in Ukraine. One of the things that struck me is that they seem to be intentionally pushing oil prices through the roof. With every bit of bellicose rhetoric from the Biden administration and the morons on Capitol Hill, the media blasts it through the world, creating more uncertainty and more panic. At the same time, refusing to unleash our own oil production, in fact, having spiked it from the inception of Biden’s presidency, it became clear to me that they want oil prices to go higher. Apart from the usual reasons of profiteering by individual members of Congress and the Administration, there had to be a reason. My recent contemplation of the Iran Deal they’re trying to make tempted me to ask: How could they get Americans, but more importantly, members of Congress, to go along with the new JCPoA(Iran Deal)? What is it going to take in an election year to make that go? I began to wonder: If they could push the price of oil so far that it would put a serious pinch on Americans, would they and their Congressional representatives fold for any deal that brought them a respite from the high oil prices? If you want Americans to accept the Iran deal, promise it will provide a drastic reduction in prices in the midst of a war-driven price-spike! Problem solved. They’re driving the oil-price spike in order to gain easier acceptance of the Iran deal.
Yes, they built the carrot and now they’re wielding the stick. By the time they’re done with you, you’ll be happy to pay for Iranian oil. As Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday morning, the Iranians stand to make out like bandits in the deal. Frankly, I can’t see anything in the deal for America. It would seem to me the American people would make out better with no deal, but this deal lifts sanctions on Iran, including Iranian oil. According to Gateway Pundit, the Russian leading the negotiating team(on behalf of the United States(!!!)), Mikhail Ulyanov, is quoted as saying:
“Iran got much more than it could expect.”
What’s more remarkable to me is that I am not able to find any reference to what America will get from this deal, other than promises. It seems as though the United States is giving up all sanctions, just as in the first JCPoA, all we did was pay billions electronically, and also pallets of cash to the mullahs, while getting what amounted to very thin promises about nuclear weapons development. It’s senseless. The biggest concession, in terms of the long-run value to the Iranians leadership, is the removal of all sanctions on Iranian oil. I now believe this is why the oil prices needed to spike from this administration’s perspective. They’re putting the squeeze on us to accept the deal. Other than worthless promises, what is the United States getting? Why is the Biden administration so desperate to have a deal again? What’s in it for the DC Mafia? What’s in it for us? This is the problem, from my point of view: There’s nothing in it for we, the American people, but if you wanted to make a show of it, you could put in “and oil supplies available to America will increase dramatically.”
Why is getting the Iran deal so important to these people that they’ve essentially provoked Russia into invading Ukraine to set up the conditions under which the American people and Congress might be driven to accept it?
Update: Tom Rogan of the Washington Examiner has a source who tells him that the Biden administration is avoiding pursuing a big public case over the would-be assassins who wanted to take out former National Security Adviser John Bolton because it could hurt new Iran deal negotiations.
