War with Iran

fed up said:
The spike in energy prices caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is boosting the Kremlin's oil and gas revenues. This helps fund Russia's war chest against Ukraine.

150 million a day by some estimates but it’s the easing of sanctions that has given them this boost. They have bigger problems!
The Strait will be bypassed shortly and most of the oil passing through the strait goes East to China and South East Asia.

Trump is about to send 2000+ marines to occupy kharg island (which was just bombed).

The exact scenario the Iranians gave been preparing for for decades.

The exact scenario Trump has been planning for for minutes. At best.

Occupying Kharg would strangle the regime but also starve the Iranian people.The effect of the international energy crisis that would follow would be a disaster.

I'd say Iran would probably up their attacks on all other oil producers in the region and we'd have complete meltdown.

Trump is the biggest fucking idiot ever born.

So why do they use the strait when they can just pump it to the other side of their country nearer their markets???

It was built years ago and it was redundant for decades so they’re starting it up now.
The oil that goes through the Strait is generally for China and South East Asia.

That pipeline would supply about 3 million barrels a day and would be vulnerable to attacks from Iran and the Houthi's.

About 20-30 million barrels a day goes through the strait with 85% of it supplying Japan India South Korea and China. What happens with that?

It's all crazy stuff SigY.

Looking at it from an Israeli perspective I understand what they're doing. Yet antisemitic attacks will undoubtedly follow.

For peace the Iranian regime has to go, full stop. That will cost a lot of American soldiers lives if they go boots on the ground.

Lifting sanctions on Russia leaves Ukraine vulnerable now too.

United are playing tomorrow though 😁
