    I love how the post above this one claims the exact opposite, with a link to a news site.

    The Iran war is affecting Europe. Europe, China, and Russia should get together and negotiate with Iran since talks between the US and Iran is getting nowhere.

      Well, I don’t think Russia and China are in a position to really do much. Russia is getting it’s ass kicked by a country 20+ times smaller, and China is supplying Russia with weapons. I’m not sure if China supplying weapons is good or bad? On one hand they’re Chinese weapons so they’re garbage, but they’re still weapons overall.

    The story has been updated and the title changed. They caved.

    Members of the Group of Seven bloc of highly industrialised economies on Friday agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from their reserves over four months.

    Even if they did release it Trump would probably ban diesel exports anyway. He wants it both.

    No they didn’t. They caved.

    From the article: "Members of the Group of Seven bloc of highly industrialised economies on Friday agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from their reserves over four months, averting a potential US ban on diesel exports. The European Union had earlier pushed back against Washington’s threat, with an EU official saying the 27-member bloc “fully” rejected the move. "

    The oil barons have Europe, Australia, and Asia over a barrel (pun intended). With the help of the US government along with a bunch of other nations and paramilitaries they have ensured they are going to make a ton of money due to this manufactured oil shortage. I have a hard time believing this is all a side effect instead of the intended effect.
