>If Trump declares victory and leaves the Middle East in the next few weeks without reopening the strait, he will effectively cede one-fifth of the world’s oil supply to Iran. That would put the regime on even stronger financial footing than before, allowing Iran to charge oil tankers a hefty toll to use the strait — and determine which country’s shipments get through.>Under that scenario, analysts project, oil prices are expected to remain above $90 per barrel well beyond the end of the war, or roughly one-third higher than where prices sat before the conflict began.>But other options could yield even worse outcomes. If Trump instead chooses to escalate and follow through on his threats to bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure, it would immediately worsen the oil shortage and fan fears of widespread retaliation — which could effectively shatter the global energy trade and push prices to never-before-seen highs.>Either way, energy experts said, oil prices are going to stay significantly higher than the $60-per-barrel level the US enjoyed earlier this year — and no amount of reassurances from Trump is likely to change that at this point.>“I don’t think there’s any going back to pre-war gas prices, at least not this year and probably not for a couple years,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “With each passing day, and the longer the hostilities continue, the more damage is done.” Why didn't Trump think this through? He has created a lose-lose scenario, and cannot spin this as America winning.

>>532250177He was "gifted" $3 billion dollars by the Saud, Bahrain, Qatar and UAE to pull this job, and Trump has always been a wise guy.None of you noticed how fat the Trump family was getting on Sunni money? How we chased Hunter around a tree because he accepted a few hundred thousand to "sell out America", but all that fell silent when it was Trump Time again?Trump has ALWAYS accused others of doing malfeasance that he's actually doing/planning to do in spades.

>>532250177If Iran wants to sell the oil, they have to re-open the strait. They use it. Trump should leave and take the L.
