I agree with you but si the S-300 bado Ni Moto wa kuotea mbali, something unexpected must have made Trump think twice ,most likely an S 400 iliwekwa chini ya maji by musito Putin.
This is what he’s now saying.

do know how much the oil embargo pullled back the global economy. Some regions of the world were pushed back 10 years. its only developed countries who did not feel the pinch
Take note of Trump’s last words in his statement…‘and not against the world’.
Very, very telling.
Most probably he phoned a few presidents who were allies informing them of what he was about to do and they declined to support.

This could be the best that could happen to the world.
The world will have no other choice but to turn its back from fossil fuel and invest Nuclear fusion and green energy.
Short time pain for eternal gain.
Years to come sanctions won’t be working as countries are progressing albeit slowly
it has nothing to do with fossil, you need to take a thinking minute back and study what derivatives mean
Those nations are not as vulnerable today. For starters, most oil producers are not Middle Eastern anymore as was the case in the past. Unconventional oil is viable at $60 a barrel and few non oil dependent nations depend on thermal energy derived from petroleum products(In fact East African nations are usually an anomaly in this area. Also, in an era of a push for renewables, THEY must be hoping for an escalation that would cement renewables for good.
They cannot have an S-400 simply because Russia would face sanctions for it and Iran is not really an ally but a nations with whom they have a convergence of interests.
The S-300 is good but plenty of American planes can manage to evade them
God bless mzee putin, america a puppet of israel is bully
Hehe not quite, I think the reason for withdrawal was based on analysis be of the bigger picture in terms of the effects of war. And secondly I don’t think US has much to gain from winning the war against Iran…
Back then in Africa for example, only Nigeria was a Sub-Saharan oil supplier and Latin America only had Venezuela and Ecuador.
The Arabs truly had a near monopoly.
In 2019 like more than 10 sub saharan African nations produce oil and all are exporters and in Latin America, Brazil, Peru and Colombia and next year Argentina are oil producers. Russia and the United States have displaced Saudi Arabia as the largest producers of oil.
Again 'closing the Strait would not mean an end of oil exports from the Gulf apart from nations like Qatar(which I suspect Iran would allow) Bahrain(which Saudi Arabia would go save),Iraq(which would look West to revive the Iraq-Syria pipeline) only Kuwait would face issues actually.
The UAE built a pipeline as far back as 2012 to Oman as Iran had made such threats in 2010 when it was sanctioned by the European Union and Saudi Arabia can export half of its production via the Red Sea.
Overall, apart from Kuwait, no other nation would be adversely affected.
Currently the Strait of Hormuz handles 20% of the world’s oil. Even if Iran blocked half, it means that the planet’s oil supply would fall by 10%.
Oil would rise to $80 per barrel and that alone would activate the currently inactive shale oil wells in the Permian basin, the Canadian oil sands, stimulate Morocco to exploit its own, make China’s heavy tar sands viable and Argentina which has been struggling to get investors for its Shale oil fields which are almost as big as the American ones would be awash with dollars.
Iran’s oil weapon is not a weapon at all.
Who will care about derivates when global has gone out of control.
Proof that the drone was not in International waters
