    It will be a suicide mission with no objectives. It’s war as a six year old would design one.

    At least all the infrastructure for remote work is in place, and we have experience with Covid. It could reduce oil demand.

    If the war costs $2 billion per day, it’s enough to pay 1000 tankers to pass through the Tehran Tollbooth.

    True, they wouldn’t have a tollbooth if we hadn’t attacked them, but how many lives will it cost to un-ring that bell?

    They’ll be forced to reinstate Obama’s deal with Iran, but they’ll call it something different because magats are tarded.

  5. There was someone on the conservative sub saying $115 a barrel was their line in the sand.

    I wonder what mental gymnastics they are coming up with to justify back pedaling.

    $4.45/gallon when I filled up today. It was about $.2.75 when this bullshit started

    Can t possible be…POTUS just said 4 hours ago that they ve come to an agreement 😁

  8. And the US allowed Russia to export oil and gas. Now Russia can fill it’s war chest again.

  9. I mean they aren’t wrong at the moment. Never should’ve happened in the first place but here we are.

  10. “Accuses” is an odd word choice. America has sated that they are preparing for an invasion.

    One positive thing I can think of in all of this is the world will be pushed towards renewables and EVs.

    Last week was the first time I ever paid more than $30 to fill up my gas tank since I’ve been driving. It’s kind of surreal to actually see and feel the impact of international conflicts in real time.

  13. I know some troops have been moving but wouldn’t it be like 400k troops & 4-5 aircraft carriers for an invasion?

    “Accuses” is definitely a word choice considering the US on multiple times said they are preparing for a ground Invasion
