Trump is putting pressure on the wrong counterparty. It's the Israelis that need to be pressured (with trade sanctions), whereas the Iranians are salivating over that $300B fund.

True, but it didn't help that the Biden Administration drained a third of the SPR because they didn't want a spike in gas prices in the run-up to the 2022 mid-terms. I seem to recall hearing how brilliant it was to buy-low, sell-high as if that was the purpose of the SPR.

Well Trump did not refill it when oil was cheap. So it’s Trump fault.

Trump had been gradually refilling the SPR before he was stupid enough to start the war.

lol sure dude! Trump is the best! If only Trump had been president none of this would have happened. It is Biden and Obama’s fault and Carter. Trump is so smart. Wish he was president now.

Just because Trump's by far the worst President we've ever had, that doesn't absolve Biden's misuse of the SPR for political reasons.

You are comparing Biden vs Trump? there is no comparison. Trump and his followers are Idiots. Biden made bank and Trump just grifted the SPR. You need to wake up.

Must be Biden’s fault because you know it can’t be Trump!

The Iranians hold all the cards, and Trump’s just genuinely too stupid and arrogant to realize it.

We will never have peace with an ally like Israel unless we treat them the way they deserve.

The United States and the rest of the United Nations members must impose an arms ban and an economic embargo on Israel, that includes sanctions on companies doing business with Israel, a ban on all Israeli-origin imports, sanctions on Israeli financial institutions, and a total ban on selling aircraft or repair parts to Israeli aviation companies.

The Israeli government, its officials, as well as members of the IDF need to be placed on the official blacklist of the Financial Action Task Force.

Biden's use of the SPR netted the country "a profit of about $3.5 billion."

How is this even up as a criticism?

The Biden Administration inherited a reserve with about 650 M barrels and left it with less than 400 M. At a withdrawal rate of 4 M barrels per day, that's more than 50 days of strategic cushion that was wasted on the "profit".

If Biden left it in such bad shape, then Trump shouldn't have started a war that would make it even worse.

The way they treated that Gaza aid flotilla has everyone in Europe very pissed off. Let the EU play bad guy while Trump swears fealty to Israel. Let Spain declare all Israeli vessels will require special administrative inspections. Please line up and wait for further instructions.

European here. YES, I AM PISSED. And Europe was never Israel's fan to begin with, unlike the US.

This was/is a war of choice. They should have taken that into account.

Why didn't Trump refill when the prices were low?

Because of Biden! It’s Biden’s fault.

"Sanctions"? How about we just stop their check writing privileges on our treasury?

Germany and England quiet in the corner hoping no one notices why Israel came to exist the first place.
