Equally shocking... In Ukraine, a U.S. Arms Dealer Is Making a Fortune and Testing Limits Mr. Morales is among Ukraine’s most important such suppliers. The Pentagon has awarded his company about $1 billion in contracts, mostly for ammunition. And records show he has built a roughly $200 million side business selling to the Ukrainians directly.
Couldn't help but noticing... I wonder how he lost those fingertips before they were reattached. Did one of the wares of his chosen trade go awry, or was it a cleaver on the butcher block of a deal gone bad with one of his (upstanding) clientele?
I had a gf way back in the day that was a fairly high dollar wedding/bar-mitzvah photographer. She had her own studio and I used to enjoy looking over her shoulder as she would go thru 100's of pictures snapped at an event, tossing out at least 50% of them (that to me looked awesome), for the most minute detail. This was when things were still done with film. Kinda learned to look at every little detail in a picture I guess.
Lol, that’s not what I teased. I think your fingers were chopped off and reattached, like in the gangster movies, so you pay attention to other people’s fingers.
> US seizes nearly 1 million barrels of Iranian oil allegedly bound for China This now could mean war... Tensions in Middle East and the Pacific will rise. Most importantly for traders: the price of oil, gas, energy will rise!... Maybe even skyrocket at some point of the tensions? Make your trading bets, folks! The tankers better should sail under China's flag... China should buy in Iran, and transport its property then itself... Then the US gangsters can do nothing.
War is the most unlikely outcome. Both, US and China are dependent on each other heavily. Also why fight when it is pretty clear who wins in the first place and also both have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons always mean that the US Army has no interest in attacking. No country possesing them has ever been invaded. That's why Iran wants those so bad.
BS, Iran does not have any nukes and is not trying to be a nuclear power, simply b/c it got threatened by the US and Israel, and Iran itself publicly declared not wanting to own any nuclear weapons. Iran instead is specialising on conventional weapons, especially conventional midrange and longrange rockets and drones. To prevent a war in ME, China and Russia have to react and protect Iran.
That is the weirdest CNN article that I have ever read. Violating sanctions?? Was never aware that Iran was a country that was complying with USA with its sanctions? Second, was never aware that China was ever on USA's sanctions list for anything. USA might have had sanctions against certain politicians in China but never against oil to China? I stand to be enlightened.
