Trump Threatens Tariffs as Oil Jumps: Sanctions, A Love Story
Mainstream media frames Trump’s sabre-rattling as an isolated phenomenon, a mere blip in the global economy. What they conveniently omit? This isn't just 'Trump's' policy; it's a bipartisan, decades-long obsession with Iran, fueled by powerful lobby groups and think tanks consistently pushing for regime change. Consider the past. How many previous 'maximum pressure' campaigns have crippled Iranian
civilians while doing little to change geopolitical realities, apart from enriching defense contractors? The 'threat' of tariffs is less about protecting US interests and more about maintaining a constant state of economic warfare, a strategy championed by those who profit from global instability. One might wonder if the endless cycle of sanctions, proxy conflicts, and destabilization is truly
aimed at 'peace' or if it’s designed to keep oil flowing (at a profitable rate, of course) and weapons deals churning. It's a tale as old as time: target a regional power, call it 'national security,' and watch the profits roll in, while actual citizens face the squeeze. The Independent's report, while factually correct, lacks the critical context of how these actions are part of a larger,
long-standing geopolitical game.
