Pouring one out for the MAGA morons who thought "coal rolling" was cool, who spent hundreds of dollars illegally modifying their big diesel pickup trucks so that they could flip a switch and dump extra fuel into the system making it spew thick clouds of black smoke at random Prius drivers and bicyclists, which incidentally makes their own trucks run less efficiently (poorer mileage), gunks them up with carbon and lowers their performance, puts a film of oily black soot over their own truck and so on. Y'all are the dumbest of fcks. Enjoy paying more at the pump. We're all laughing at you. |
OMG, I never heard of this. What horrible people. |
That’s if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz right away. What if they decide they would like to extend the pain for the United States and everyone else who supported this war? Seems like Iran gets to decide when things go back to normal, not Trump or the United States. |
Which makes sense to me. Why should we control that? Iran is letting some ships go through that are not associated with helping the enemy (us). Which is good! Still not nearly enough. |
Just saying the world’s economy is breaking now. The supply and trade system takes 3-4 weeks under good normal conditions to deliver oil and oil derivatives. If The Bab-el-Mandeb is closed it will be over. We will be is a world wide depression. |
| EVs are selling like crazy in Australia. Some showrooms are so busy that they ask customers who are not buying today to come back later. They are so busy they can only handle people buying today. |
+1 The Suez Canal cannot handle the big oil tankers. We need to go to EVs and solar bigly. |
And apparently if Trump's intention was to use this to create a coalition against Iran that also seems to be failing. |
Yup https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2038187681935401098.html |
| I guess the plan is to inflict as much pain on the world and let Putin sit at the top of the pyramid. |
Gee, I wonder which country benefits from such a surge in oil prices that demand for EVs and solar skyrockets? It’s as if Trump is working on behalf of China…. |
Geez Louise, You really need to use paragraphs if you’re going to call other people dumb in a rambling screed. You weren’t aware that GWB won the election in part because of his criticism of Clinton’s conflicts in Serbia and Somalia? Then he gave us two forever wars. Then Obama criticized that but gave us Syria and Libya. And it’s not even a recent thing. Jackson-Reed won reelection by keeping us out of The Great War, then promptly got us in once he won. The American people almost always vote for peace, but we always get war. That’s a system problem not a Trump problem. |

Equating Syria or Libya with what Trump is doing in Iran is just an apple to potato comparison. |

“Iran war to last into June, CBA analyst says
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s top geopolitical strategist has warned that the Middle East conflict is likely to last “at least into June”, saying Donald Trump will not be able to unilaterally extract himself from his war on Iran. Madison Cartright said we shouldn’t hope for a repeat of the Taco trade (or “Trump Always Chickens Out”) that had been a feature of his coercive trade policies. Tariff policy was the prerogative of the president. But he cannot unilaterally decide when to end the war with Iran.” |
