This is a power move and will make Trump very angry

Shouldn’t that be “millions of barrels of oil”? Using “barrel” as a (shitty) measuring unit?
I doubt they are using millions of individual little barrels.

They’re all in it together and we are but pawns in the game.

Didn’t know Iran made barrels.

The Strait of Hormuz is basically a geopolitical chokepoint that everyone pretends they can control but nobody actually can, this is just Iran calling everyone’s bluff while the rest of the world watches and complains

A chess board move to spite Trump!

Are you saying that the result of the invasion is that everyone else has higher oil prices but China?
Well done, let’s give everyone a clap on the back.

Irony. Trump spends tens of billions of American tax payer money. Gets American soldiers killed and maimed. Killed thousands of civilians. End result; Iran regime remains strong, exports more oil to America’s chief rival, China.

Well yeah of course, everyone is going to use whatever advantages they can, it’s a war, oh no sorry, it’s an “excursion”, no wait a “military action” or maybe a special military operation?

The tankers go both to China and India.

Turns out the Strait of Hormuz isn’t closed — it just switched to a China membership plan.

Good. Most of the Hormuz oil was going to go to Asia anyway. And getting China of the white market lowers buying pressure for the rest of the world. It’s not really a bad thing imho.

Are we tired of winning yet?
7 radar sites worth billions of dollars destroyed, billions worth of ammo used in the first few days and now a global oil crisis and more than likely boots on the ground.

I’m honestly surprised at just how poorly thought out the attack on Iran has been, anyone even remotely paying attention would have known the regime wasn’t going to immediately collapse, and that the Strait of Hormuz was going to be fucked.
I don’t expect anything from Congress, it’s well established they have no spine and are happy for Trump to play dictator. But the military?
It’s the most powerful military on earth, and their logistics are usually a strength. How can they start a war without a plan for the Strait of Hormuz, without a plan for evacuating US citizens from the region?

China’s strategy of “Do nothing, win!” is really gonna shape this century. Lmao

I thought they mined the strait? Now they didn’t mine the strait?

Even in conflict, global energy flows rarely come to a full stop.

Well Iran still needs to sell oil, it’s their largest source of income. China wants to buy and I don’t think the US is as bold to steal or destroy tankers headed for China… or are they? We’ll find out soon!

So I guess this confirms Trump is China’s bitch.

Im assuming they are paid for and therefore Chinese property?

So China still gets oil from Iran and Russia still sells oil to India.
The USA war is a resounding success.

Trump has boosted China so high it’s unbelievable how much they are winning

Next up: the us will attack those ships 😀

Is China going to resell that Oil or is it just for them?
Solidsnake_86 on
Seems like a smart idea. If the US chokes China’s oil, China will be forced to do something.

The Chinese strategy of do nothing -> come out on top continues.

Trump has done more to help China over the past year than any other person on the planet. Fucking idiot asshole traitor.

Why would you expect them to hit their own tankers?

Good fucking job Trump, you’ve made everything worse for everyone apart from China who have probably had more wins in the last year that any other country in the past 80 years.
