FUCKING MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK?

[VirginiaTagz]

It is confirmed that all of Reva's information is not credible

I genuinely feel bad for her though. Don't judge her because you have no idea what she's been through in her life. Friedman's the one that loses here.

[urcritic]

So, Reva, did you take control of him? Perhaps financial, sexual or psychological control? Some red lip stick, short skirt, an envelope full of money, should be easy for an attractive looking woman like yourself.

US not talking about a blockade but a voluntary ban on Iranian oil. no ships will be stopped... @undeadpresident- agreed

[nottyexec]

the hormuz strait is not us owned,, STUPID

[chairde]

@zizzy007 Hahaha oh sure right over the mountains and they could do thins in what time period?

[undeadpresident]

You're pretty

[zizzy007]

@chairde

it could go from Pakistan via pipes then shipped to China with a 'saudi' sticker on the tanker.... Pakistan and Iran both have bad relations with US and China's main allies are Pakistan, Iran, North Korea and Russia.

[entropyfu]

Yes, even if the oil is not intended for Americans, they need to keep the straight open to have stable oil prices for economic stability.

[chairde]

@zizzy007 You really don't understand. You can't close the Gulf to just certain countries. It has to be closed or open. Most, if not all of the oil, that comes to the US is aboard ships that are NOT American. The United States does not operate a fleet of oil tankers.
