Predictable. Trump is intent on destroying the word economy with his vanity war! He has no plan to end this war and is attempting to bluster and bluff his way through it. He is unfit for office.

Was it the US or Israel? Either way world crude is up to $99 and Brent is $108 and climbing. Now is it $109.

LNG impacts Europe and Asia. This is a way for Trump and Bibi to help Russia and hurt Europe and Asia because they did not give Trump ships to open the strait.

Trump has enabled the monster. Israel has no strategic objective besides razing Iran.

That is Israel’s goal. The complete destruction of the country followed by civilian war in which they support both sides. Oh when will poor Israel be safe from attacks?

Do you know how many t-shirts they'd sell if the Arabs started piledriving Israel? The reconquista would basically pay for itself.

No Arab country of any significance supports Iran. They are capitalist first and foremost, and know that Iran’s hatred of Israel and the West in general is bad for business. They just want sell their oil and make as much money as possible. Why do you think they host so many US military bases. They want to be rid of the IRGC and their proxies.

DP. This is completely true. The Gulf States detest Iran and want it gone.

ABU DHABI—Battered by Iranian strikes and the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, the United Arab Emirates and some fellow Persian Gulf states have come to view Iran’s theocracy as an existential enemy. They now want the regime they once courted to be neutered, if not dismantled, when the conflict ends—so the ordeal is never repeated.

The U.A.E. has borne the brunt of Iranian attacks: More than 2,000 drones and missiles have been fired at the country since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28.

Over 80% of those were aimed at civilian infrastructure, including oil facilities, refineries, airports, ports, hotels and data centers, according to the U.A.E. government, killing six civilians and injuring 157 others. All six states in the Gulf Cooperation Council have, so far, refrained from striking back openly, limiting themselves to self-defense.

“This is not a military exchange. This is an attack on a peaceful nation, a nation that has been working diligently and very hard for diplomacy,” Sultan al-Jaber, the U.A.E. minister of industry and advanced technology, said in an interview.

“Any long-term political settlement must address the full spectrum of threats, including Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missile capabilities, and their network of regional proxies,” added Jaber, who also serves as CEO of the country’s ADNOC oil giant.

Iranian leaders have said in recent days that they would only accept a cease-fire with Israel and the U.S. if Tehran receives reparations and ironclad guarantees against future attacks on the regime. Iranian officials have also insisted they only target U.S. bases and interests in the region, a claim that has infuriated Gulf nations.

“Let me make it very clear. Since the Iranian attacks have started on Qatar, the threats and attacks on civilian targets have not stopped,” said Majed al Ansari, an adviser to Qatar’s prime minister. Iranian attacks caused civilian casualties in all six Gulf states, a toll that would have been much steeper if they hadn’t possessed sophisticated U.S.-made air defenses.

Given the indiscriminate nature of these Iranian barrages, and the willingness shown by Tehran to rain death and destruction on its neighbors, another senior Gulf official said, the only acceptable outcome of the war would be an Iran so defanged and enfeebled that it could never imperil its neighbors again.

“The Iranian regime has crossed every red line,” he said. “Now it is in everyone’s interest, and this includes the Gulf countries, to have the U.S. finish the job. Imagine if the war stops now, and Iran declares victory saying that the U.S. has been defeated? Iran would hold the whole region hostage, and every time Iran would be under pressure, it would hit the Gulf countries—because that taboo has been broken, and hitting them worked.”

Donald Trump is not planning this war. This war was decided by his donors and their people in his government. They have access to futures markets and are making a killing on the volatility.

There are shortages of major chemicals dervied from oil here in the U.S. (urea, nitrogen, sulfure) critical to the fertilizer and other petrobased chemicals industries.

Why are they striking oil producing infastructure???

Are they trying to cause a global recession?

Yes and yes. As Jeffrey Epstein put it in a 2008 email “this is how the Jew makes money”, “let the goyim Deal with the real world”.

They can spin this as the result of Iran and use the backlash to garner more support for the
war.

I don't think this is about following precepts of the faith at all, PP. It's about money. Iran has long been an annoyance in the Middle East, because of their hardline stance against the West, which is bad for Iranians first and foremost, but also a risk for business in all the region, due to potential for conflict. Arab states detest Israel, but they recognize that Israel has the upper hand economically and therefore have softened relations. The US is the only country powerful enough and willing enough to offer military protection in the Gulf. EU countries like France have a tiny number of bases and security accords as well, but nothing close to American capability.

Arab states are caught in a war they long-feared and never wanted, and they're outraged. If MBS truly encouraged Trump to attack Iran, as rumors claim, that backfired spectacularly. Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, from the UAE, openly lambasted Trump on X (then deleted his post because friends told him he had gone too far). It's a complete mess and breakdown of trust.

Oh, and now Europe is worried about having to deal with yet another influx of refugees from this war. The moderate political parties are barely holding onto power, against the ultra-right who gets off on anti-immigration campaigns. This war has the potential to change politics in Europe as well.

Treason does not apply to Israeli first people in our government. You can even be an Israeli dual citizen and support a foreign nation at the cost of America without consequence.

Does it really matter ? The leaders make and carry out their national policy without pesky elections to worry about. The average Saudi citizen gets a check from the government - and is the definition of “fat and happy.” They are not making any waves even if they could.

Predictable. Trump is intent on destroying the word economy with his vanity war! He has no plan to end this war and is attempting to bluster and bluff his way through it. He is unfit for office.

Was it the US or Israel? Either way world crude is up to $99 and Brent is $108 and climbing. Now is it $109.

LNG impacts Europe and Asia. This is a way for Trump and Bibi to help Russia and hurt Europe and Asia because they did not give Trump ships to open the strait.

Israel is dictating the pace and degree of this war. Not the US.

Trump has enabled the monster. Israel has no strategic objective besides razing Iran.

That is Israel’s goal. The complete destruction of the country followed by civilian war in which they support both sides. Oh when will poor Israel be safe from attacks?

Do you know how many t-shirts they'd sell if the Arabs started piledriving Israel? The reconquista would basically pay for itself.

No Arab country of any significance supports Iran. They are capitalist first and foremost, and know that Iran’s hatred of Israel and the West in general is bad for business. They just want sell their oil and make as much money as possible. Why do you think they host so many US military bases. They want to be rid of the IRGC and their proxies.

They also want to get rid of the Israelis and its handmaidens. They are likely to embrace the IRGC if they become the winner. Arabs ride with the winner. That used to be US/Israel, and it used to be the Brits

No surprises here but how is this pertinent to the current situation?

Guess you are not following current events?

The event where the 19 US military bases in Gulf stopped operating ? Yeah, I missed that one.
