Is mowing the lawn really transformational tho?

Someone mentioned he is injured from the original bombing that started this thing. I wonder how injured?

I wish we had a smarter President

Senior Iranian source to CNN:
“We hold the screw of the global oil price in our hands. For a long time the U.S. will have to wait for our actions to control the price. Energy markets are unstable and we will continue to fight until Trump declares defeat.”

First, even the coordinated release of a large portion of the G-7's reserve stocks of oil (the group discussed releasing between 300 million and 400 million barrels out of its 1.2 billion-barrel hoard) would be a patch, not a solution, to the underlying problem. That problem is that a very large chunk of the world's oil supply is missing and is unlikely to return any time very soon, because the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, and a lot of big producers such as Iraq are throttling back oil output because they have run out of storage. To put it in perspective, as ClearView Energy Partners, an energy consultancy, did in a research note: In just over a week, the world has gone from being way oversupplied with oil to having a massive shortfall. ClearView expects a global supply deficit of 3 million barrels a day in March, and almost 7 million barrels a day in April. Just confronting that shortfall would drain 300 million barrels from global crude inventories.

And major oil producers are throttling back oil production as they run out of storage space. Iraq was first. Then came Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Reports suggest Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are, too. Millions of barrels of oil that were being pumped every day aren't anymore. Shutdowns of more than a few weeks risk damage to wells and future oil-production capacity. And there is the escalation of the war more broadly. Over the weekend, Iran attacked civilian targets and desalination plants in Gulf neighbors; Israel set aflame a major fuel depot near Tehran. Turkey intercepted a second Iranian missile. Bahrain's only refinery got attacked again. Saudi Arabia intercepted Iranian attacks on oil fields in eastern Saudi Arabia on Monday. "What the market is also pricing in is the current level of risk. The Iranians are actively trying to hit upstream assets around the Gulf. If they get a hit, prices are going to go through the stratosphere," Reed said.

Trump said on Sunday that shipping companies should "show some guts" and transit the Strait of Hormuz, because the United States has all but eliminated the Iranian navy. But the Iranian navy is not the main threat to shipping in the region; drones, missiles, mines, and small boats are. "Insurance is part of the problem, but you still need shippers to sign up and say to their crews, 'You are going to risk your life to get an oil tanker in and out," Reed said. "Trump could declare victory tomorrow and it wouldn't matter. What shippers need to hear is that Iran declares a cease-fire." The fallout after nine days of war has already been bad for consumers in the United States, with gasoline and diesel prices jumping. It's worse for Asia, which is the most dependent on oil and natural gas from the Persian Gulf. But it's also doubly bad for Europe, which has seen natural gas prices rise sharply along with oil prices, so much that some policymakers are mooting the idea of restoring energy trade with Russia.

Good overview:

Oil Markets Are Starting to Take the Iran War Seriously

Yikes

Becoming another yes man to the President is exactly what he doesn’t need.

While I sort of get it, this President clearly is not getting a lot of ppl telling him reality, mostly just propaganda from Iran hawks.

Lindsay Graham said he helped convince him by saying he would be seen as a savior by Iranian civilians and the rest of the world.

The day after is Saudi Arabia’s problem, got it.

He’d happily watch the oil industry of the entire Middle East go up in flames bc it helps him.

He’s incredibly pleased this happened and does not have Iran’s best interest in mind. Only his own.

He’d happily watch the entire oil industry of Iran go up in flames bc it would make him richer.

The longer this goes on, the better for Putin. He doesn’t want it to stop.

He is not an ally of Iran.

Ukraine is always adaptive and resourceful.

Shocking to me how Russia is truly the only winner from the war in Iran.

Chaos and bullshit

These pipelines are becoming way more valuable:

One of the last lines of defence is a couple of oil pipelines offerign a partial bypass of the Strait of Hormuz.

At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.

The United States has advised non-essential personnel to depart its consulate in Adana, near a key NATO base, and has urged U.S. citizens to leave southeastern Türkiye, according to the U.S. Embassy in Ankara.

Right now, they’re banking on every govt in the world releasing their strategic reserves

Thank SCOTUS. Every executive dept is political now

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
