*strait (that will never get old)
you're about to pay $6 per gallon and you're still stupid enough to ask this question.
Alex Young, the former head of MI6: “The reality is that the US underestimated the task and I think as of about two weeks ago lost the initiative to Iran,” the British ex-spy chief said in an Economist podcast this week.
sh!t will start hitting the fan in 8-10 days in East Asia, when the last oil tankers on the water get to their destinations
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/arm...ium%3Dsharebar"This will be of particular concern in economies like Taiwan that rely on natural gas to power their industrial sectors, or Pakistan, which is almost completely dependent on Qatar for its LNG imports," she wrote in a note to clients.
Pakistan is already experiencing physical shortages as it's closer to the region and its last ships arrived over the past week or so. The country has imposed a four-day work week for government employees. It closed schools for two weeks. All in an effort to save energy.
The problem is compounded by two key factors. The first is that no one knows when the Strait of Hormuz may see even remotely normal shipments again.
The other is that, once that happens, it will take a long time to refill that air bubble in the system.
"Oil only travels at the speed of a tanker," said Johnston.
And tankers move slowly. Even if Hormuz became passable tomorrow, it would take weeks before those ships started showing up at ports around the world.
Oxford Economics expects the Strait of Hormuz to remain impassable until May. It expects to see "elevated geopolitical tensions" continuing to disrupt trade through the end of September.
That means the air bubble is orders of magnitude larger than the one we have today and the actual shortage of energy products in select countries is drawn out for months, not days or weeks.
TSA says Taiwan and Pakistan will put boots on the ground and invade Iranian islands.
We don’t need it!

Isn't it pathetic?

...
Iran responded forcefully to the joint American and Israeli strikes, targeting not only U.S. bases but also embassies and oil and gas infrastructure throughout the region. With its supreme leader and dozens of other leaders killed, the Iranian regime has retaliated by launching hundreds of drones and missiles into neighboring countries and largely shuttered the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route, making sure the war would be felt by people across the globe.
Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage. Six U.S. service members were killed in a strike on Port Shuaiba that destroyed an Army tactical operations center. Iranian drones and missiles also targeted Ali Al Salem Air Base, damaging aircraft structures and injuring personnel, and Camp Buehring, damaging maintenance and fuel facilities.
In Qatar, Iran struck Al Udeid Air Base, the regional air headquarters of U.S. Central Command, damaging an early-warning radar system. In Bahrain, a one-way Iranian attack drone struck communications equipment at the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet. At Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, Iranian missiles and drones damaged communications equipment and several refueling tankers.
An Iranian-backed militia in Iraq launched a drone swarm attack on an upscale hotel in Erbil early in the war.
Iranian officials have even accused the U.S. military of using civilians as human shields by putting American troops in hotels.

Literally the only lib who isn't rooting against their own country. Who would've guessed that a massive stroke was the only cure for the TDS virus
Does he have a cure for your cowardice, snacks?
There's no one more anti-American than Trump and Republicans, tbh
They hate America and are wrecking it with glee, at home and abroad
Why are you rooting for this war and for servicemen and women to get killed in the first place? Seriously for what? Name your reason you love this invasion. Will wait. Forever.
Lol tsa
Wow, admitting you're rooting for Iran to win
That'll show them they should've loved Kamala the way I loved her
SAD!
Funny part is Iran has already lost
I'm rooting for us to leave. You'll never answer why we should be there. Never.
But hey, Trump promises some day gas will go back down. That's good enough for you s every time.
Trump wants us to think Iran has requested (and has been granted) a favor by the USA
oodles of unsanctionable oil, basically $$$ straight into Iran's pocket
is Trump trying to bribe Iran?

lol freedom of navigation going down with a fight from Trump, instead he implicitly accepts that Iran is the tollkeeper of Hormuz
which incidentally wasn't the case before Trump attacked Iran
MEDIATORS SAY IRAN HAS NOT ASKED FOR PAUSE ON ENERGY-SITE STRIKES - WSJ
Funny part is no one here is rooting for Iran.
You're always afraid of imaginary enemies, just as you're told to be.
