Huge Iranian oil armada heads to China before US sanctions kick in
More than 20 million barrels of oil have been shipped to Dalian by the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC), Reuters reports, citing an unnamed Iranian shipping source.
“As our leaders have said, it will be impossible to stop Iran from selling its oil,” the source said, adding: “We have various ways of selling our oil and when the tankers reach Dalian, we will decide whether to sell it to other buyers or to China.”
Dalian typically receives between one million and three million barrels of Iranian oil each month, according to statistics. The port has some of the biggest refineries and commercial oil storage facilities in China.
OPEC’s third-largest producer, Iran is finding fewer takers for its crude ahead of the sanctions on its oil exports that will take effect on November 4.
The Islamic Republic has previously stored oil at Dalian during the last round of sanctions in 2014. The oil was later sold to buyers in South Korea and India.
Earlier this week, Iran’s First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri said the country is ready to counter US sanctions and has already found new partners to buy its oil.
Exports of Iranian crude oil have been in jeopardy since the White House announced that it is re-imposing unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic. In May, US President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and a broad alliance of world powers.
Washington has also threatened secondary sanctions on any countries or companies that conduct transactions with Iran.

amero-zionist ‘sanctions’, are completely illegal. They have no basis in law. amerikunt ‘sanctions’ do not express any kind of collective desire, or decision that is broadly supported by most people. Do you really think most people of this earth want, or feel the need to ‘sanction’ Iran, or Venezuela, or Russia’s economy, or people? Of course they do not. The international community, the real one, not the faux-one run out of washingdum and tel aviv, needs to tell the Jewnited snakes, in no uncertain terms, that it has zero right, or authority, to impose ‘sanction’s on anyone, other than its own dumbass citizens and corrupt corporations within its own borders.
PSA: The lump of quasi-organic material known as the ‘Exceptionalturd’, is completely insane, and requires immediate help and long-term care by specialized mental-health experts.

Saying something that is true twice, doesn’t make it false.

“You are just jealous of jews”
In the light of the immanent Soviet-style unravelling of the empire, the last thing you would want to be is a Jew. Being an Anglo sucks too. Not as much, but still.

With trade war going on, Chinese will just ignore USA and keep buying more Iranian oil.
After all if USA can pardon the Saudis, the Chinese will be happy to ignore sanctions and they don’t see any mistake on Iran’s part.

Iran’s oil will flow. Many countries are already telling the US to go fuck themselves. All Trumpet is doing is further isolating the US from the world. Destroying it from the inside as many have predicted. Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Nikita Krushev, Osama Bin Laden, etc..
If you want to know what America really is in the eyes of outsiders:
“Full text: bin Laden’s ‘letter to America'”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/nov/24/theobserver
See America the way most of the non-Western world sees America. Read ALL of it and know why most people want the US to die. Understand why the US gets deeper and deeper into the abyss. Has anything improved since the article’s date, 24 November 2002? ,Nope! Only worse. Much worse. He laid it all out bare and honest. Remember, the US trained and educated him. He knows/knew America.

“Iran’s oil will flow.”
Sure it will Billy but not at the level Iran needs. They are obviously not happy about the situation but you make it out to be otherwise.

“These are the world’s most competitive economies”
https://tinyurl.com/y9w4urky
The US topped the rankings, being ‘closest to the competitiveness frontier’, with Singapore, Germany, Switzerland and Japan, completing the top five. At the other end of the scale, Haiti, Yemen and Chad were found to be the least competitive economies. Competitiveness is not only associated with higher incomes, but also better socioeconomic outcomes, including life satisfaction.

But is has nothing to do with race, right?
Because that would by raysiss and davy is glad he is not like that.
Are you familiar with the advanced Trumpian concept of “shithole country”?
Seriously, leave it do davy and his impeccable Marxist credentials to thoroughly ruin his own country in a matter of two generations by ignoring a few basic realities. And next run of to Italy, tail between the legs, if everything comes crashing down.

There the nedernazi goes turning everything back to race. That is really smart. Races have their good and bad, neder. What bench marks are you using? If it is who has done the most to destroy the planet than I think we Europeans are at the bottom of the list.
“Because that would by raysiss and davy is glad he is not like that.”
It is clear that the board racists think they are the smartest people because they are from the right race. Wow that is a great reason to feel good about oneself.
“Seriously, leave it do davy and his impeccable Marxist credentials”
LOL, you don’t even understand Marxism but it works in your shabby agenda. I am pretty sure I am far away from Marxism.
“to thoroughly ruin his own country in a matter of two generations by ignoring a few basic realities.”
And what would that be nedernazi? Why not get back on topic and tell us why the US is not the most competitive economy?
“And next run of to Italy, tail between the legs, if everything comes crashing down.”
Ah, being married to an Italian who has property makes that property legally mine too. So if I decide to go and retire in Italy in a beautiful mountain village then that is a wonderful option. Too bad you have no one in your life not even a friggin dog so you have no options except to remain in your boring and ugly Holland.

Would someone explain to me how we have the power to sanction anyone in the world that we want to sanction. Lately there has been a lot of talk of SWIFT, as the mechanism. I can’t see for the life of me why China would want to respect these sanctions when they need the oil and are already incensed by the U.S. trade war.
Sissyfuss on Sat, 20th Oct 2018 8:43 am
Sanction all you want but Iran’s oil will be bought by someone for it is the lifeblood of Ind Civ. Only blockades will stop its export and with them you are ratcheting up the possibility of war, something President Bonespur has no knowledge of. Similar to his scientific acumen.
