    Before the war:
    – US military bases all over Middle East
    – Strait of Hormuz open to everyone

    After the war:
    – most US military bases destroyed 

    – Strait under Iran’s control to collect tolls

    Art of the turbo-deal

  2. Iran hits a tanker 31 miles from Dubai. Gas just crossed $4 a gallon in the US.
    Congrats to everyone who wanted this war.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    why have we as US become terrorists now bombing and stealing from everyone?

    this will end with no oil left, iran will blow everything up before it goes down, if it even does

    whole world gonna get fucked with supply closed on everything

    gg

  4. Trump has to just fucking shut up. Every time he opens is big fat mouth Iran makes the price of gas up.

  5. Don’t worry, Trump will just declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED on Truth Social and the war will end /s

  6. Silver lining, i guess thank you Trump for finally forcing the world at large to strongly consider alternative energy sources much quicker than ever.

  7. Still tree fiddy in texas…. Please make it worse so these ass hats around me pay..

  8. It’s ok I’m sure Trump will follow up with a 13th empty threat that will solve things.

  9. This is why the US Navy is nowhere near Hormuz… All it takes is a few boat drones and the result could be seen in the Black sea with the Russians. A 50k boat to sink a 1 bilion dollar ship.

    To think we were raised being told to combine errands in order to save gas and reduce emissions..

    It’s about 8.32 USD for a gallon over here in Romania, much more in other parts of Europe.

    Why would they do that when they are sending 10 ships of oil to the US as presents to Shitler?

    Seems like every time Trump makes one of those maximalist threats he loves so much as a bargaining strategy Iran responds by hitting some of his allies’ oil infrastructure. I wonder how long it will take him to realise that Iran has read Art of the Deal and has leverage too? Leverage which it demonstrates every time he tries to use his tried-and-trusted ‘demand a lot of wild shit to give yourself room to manouver’ negotiation strategy to deliberately undermine his posturing of strength. At this point it would be wonderful if the USA was lead by someone whose idea of negotiation was more than bullying in a suit.

    Here in Thailand diesel is gone from approximately thirty baht / liter two thirty eight baht . problem is is that stations don’t have any to pump . when a station around my area in Chiang Mai gets a delivery the queue is one to two kilometers long and takes at least an hour to go through, and there’s no guarantee they’ll still have diesel available when you reach the pump.

    Nobody is going to point out the wording of this is exactly the same as Russian nonsense? Debris hit it, really?

    Lol we’re gonna destroy the earth and then finally realize we could have used alternative energy this whole time!

    I hate this timeline

  17. > Destroys green energy initiatives across the country
    > pays a company 1 billion dollars to NOT build a wind farm
    > goes hog wild on fossil fuel based energy reliance
    > starts a war that is literally only about blowing up fossil fuel based energy sources.

    Literally the dumbest fucking reasoning out of anyone ever. God. If the rapture was real and went how the zealous psychos wanted, it would legitimately be a wonderful day for literally the entire planet and all life that calls it home.

    Why can’t they just all get it over with and Rapture themselves. Why wait motherfuckers.
