and productive conversations with Iran and he will order the military to postpone any military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.
Trump’s move followed a threat by Iran to attack Israel’s power plants and those supplying U.S. bases across the Gulf region if the U.S. targets Iran’s power network.
Sounds like someone sat him down and explained what those desalination plants do.
He couldn’t care less. They probably told him to calm the markets instead.
They don’t make salt??
I’m not sure Trump would care very much about that, what difference does it make to him if a bunch of Muslims don’t have water?
He might even see that as a win/win.
To Trump it’s all about the oil, and increasing oil prices making it harder for him (Republicans) to win the mid terms, even with all the cheating they have planned.
He definitely cares about what the Saudis want, it’s a big part of why he’s in this mess. He’s taken billions in bribes from dangerous people.
He doesn’t care about the people for sure, but the people who pull his chain need that water.
Or Trump just claims the Saudis could do more to help, and their failure to do so makes it their own fault.
Doubt he cares in that regard but probably did when someone mentioned that without power Iran oil can’t get produced, and that’ll cause prices to jump even higher.
I imagine the people who chop up reporters and put them in suitcases have reminded him.
Iran?
