On the upside this should help Russia.
The Burger Empire goes to war for oil usually, this time they went to war to bring Jesus back. Maybe he will change water to oil?
It’s going to get a lot worse.
Absolutely, the Iran has no reason to allow shipments as long as the war continues, and the US has no ability to protect ships trying to run the blockade. We already saw how that played out in Suez.
Sitting on a hydro powered electric train right now. I think I’ll be fine.
It’s also going to impact fertilizer prices and shipping prices. No one is going to be fine.
So he’s gonna broker a deal at some point and say he brought the price per barrel down to the lowest it’s ever been??
Thing is I don’t see any off ramp here for the US. There’s no reason for Iran to do another ceasefire at this point. Their best play is to push the US out of the region entirely.
Perhaps the contradictions between Israel’s interest and Trump’s voter base’s would finally reach a breaking point and the US would slap Israel and ragequit the war?
At this point, they’d have to leave the whole region. I don’t see why Iran would stop when they’re winning.
I could see this playing out. Already, people in the admin and media are saying that we started this war to protect Israel (or because of Israel, or even dragged into war by Israel) and that seems like the first step to an off-ramp.
Combine that with the sharp pain this is about to bring:
The whole stock market has shaved off 2%, with the Dow down 900.
I wonder if we’ll see the markets trip their circuit breakers tomorrow and halt trading.
