I've just seen a report that the US has temporarily removed sanctions, until April 11, from Russian oil that is already at sea. This has been done in a bid to halt the global increase in oil prices due to the Iran situation.
Frankly, I'm appalled….not just at the decision but at the level of strategic incompetence on display.
Attacking Iran with no achievable desired end-state was crass. Yes, you can bomb the hell out of Iran's fixed infrastructure. However, Iran has LOTS of ways to mess with the world's oil supplies. Have we learned no lessons from Iraq and previous forays into the Gulf?
