This is such a simple solution
>>534076707Give this man a prize for his revelation
>>534076781I’m serious, why can’t they do that? I also accept bitcoin if it’s a serious solution
same reason Russia and China have so little overland energy trade
>>534076707what happens when you blow up the pipe
>>534076830I know you are anon.
>>534076707The only secure place would be Israel, plus it would be a way for Jews to make money
yeah why dont they just build pipes and pumping stations and infrastructure that takes 10-15 years to make by snapping their fingers and making it magically appear overnight?
>>534076707Why can't you just go back to India and stop shitting in the street?
>>534076830they can't but haven't bothered to because it is super expensive to build that infrastructure and the USN has been the global coast guard since 1945
>>534076707because the oil and gas are closer to Hormuzshipping by sea is cheaper
>>534076905You could do it in a matter of months or even faster, like when they saved the Chilean miners
>>534076830I've posted the same question weeks ago.Someone wrote that they have projects under construction.But i wonder why it wasn't a priority for them, to build it in 2 weeks with all their jeet labor, instead of building shit like the Line (without a sewage system).
>>534076707simple physicsthe cost of moving by land is vastly more than moving by sea
>>534076830They already do it. The entire "crisis" is fake and gay so "they" can invent a shortage in public perception to increase profits and introduce more piecemeal tyranny in legislature. Remember this rule of thumb in future.>Everything is fake and gay until proven jewish.
>>534076707because nobody trusts the saudisavoid having your exports controlled by iran by having your exports controlled by saudi!
>>534076707Houthis could just hit the pipelinesSaudis have wasted hundreds of billions on failed vanity projects when they shouldve been building underground pipes
>>534076830Same reason we don't have one across our own country. Easier, cheaper, and more expedient to let the US handle it, until it suddenly super-isn't. Then, too late.
>>534076707Not under fire, no.
>>534076830>why can’t they do thatthey absolutely can. it's only a matter of cost. it's wildly cheaper to float shit than to move it over land. like, orders of magnitude cheaper.you'll see trainfags on here spam threads and constantly forget that we have the mississippi river, which is almost the army corps of engineers entire job, keeping that waterway running
>>534076707that's like 600 miles of desert brobro
>>534078381What’s that in km?
>>534076707arabs are too busy spending money on the line and other retarded buildings for basic infastructure, thats arab mindset for you (niggers with money)
sandworms
>>534076707733 miles at narrowest point across desert. sure they can do it, but it would take years.twit.
>>534076707>>534076900He didnt even get any yous and he amswered it for you, you retard
>>534076707that's what the "line" city is. the whole city thing being a cover for hundreds of miles of oil pipeline
Iran can still destroy all their oil refineries. It will help with a blockade sure but in the long run they are fucked when it's war time.
Pipeline already exists retard
>>534076707why not just use the land always. Problem solved.
>>534078756>sure they can do itcould they, really? you'd have to bring energy, sanitation, food, water, and supplies for thousands of workers hundreds of miles deep into an utterly barren and inhospitable wasteland....it would be like burning man, minus the rave hoes.
>>534076830well in theory iran has a mighty fleet of drones and missiles that can reach that side anywaysbut in reality they've been stomped flat and have nothing left besides AI slop and cope stories
>>534076707it would anger the sand people
>>534076707
>>534078990The countries you go through usually want to charge you and fuck with you
>>534078739spice withdrawals are a bitch too when crossing the desert>>534078801in it's longest configuration neom woulda covered 105 miles, that's not shit for pipelines. it was a failed attempt at an arcology
>>534076830Because Houthis can close Bab el-mandeb and they or the iranians can easily drone-strike any segment of a 1000 mile long pipe?
>>534079274lol it would take hundreds of nuclear blasts to clear even half that much land
>>534079274just a mile high mountain, also Houthis:>>534079181>>534079112yes, we're in indefinite cisfire, declared by one side, us, and we refuse to go in and open the strait because we know exactly how defeated iran is.
>>534078520More
Simpsons already did it
>>534079370The only correct answer.
>>534076707Because up until now, it was considered cheaper to topple the Iranian regime if they closed the strait and caused world economic crisis than to invest in all that infrastructure. No one could've predicted the stupid diplomatic loss we've witnessed in the past months.
>>534076707they do but the pipeline that exists cant support that much capacity and neither do the ports on that sidethere was also a plan to connect the gulf oil straight into the med sea skipping the suez but it wasn't built
>>534076900the red sea isn't blocked you dolt
>>534076830They could easily do it if they were white, but they’re revolting Arabs and they’d rather build a line in the desert
>>534079874There’s literally already an east-west pipeline across Saudi Arabia that has a capacity of something like 7.5 million barrels a day that bypasses both the strait of Hormuz and the bab el mendab thobeit
>>534076922>1945>he forgot about the shores of TripoliThe USMC exists because of filthy arab and ottoman Barbary pirates. Try since at least 1790s/1800s.
>>534080043Ok I researched and Kuwait/UAE etc would need to rely on a foreign country for their pipelines anyway so it wouldn't make sense to build them, they could just use Saudi Arabias instead of having their own running through Saudi Arabia anyway
>>534076707>iran has big missles and theyll shoot down any ships that pass through the strait>have big idea>spend years and many billions to build pipeline through the desert>after many years conflict has finally settled down and pipe opens>preexisting port infrastructure is wasted investment>new conflict with iran>they just bomb the pipeline now too>still no oil flowing>money wasted
>>534080366I think it’s complicated. Why would the Saudis let UAE use their capacity when the Saudis can fill the pipeline themselves? I think that’s part of the reason UAE is leaving OPEC. None of the gulf states actually like each other, they’re all in competition for oilbux
>>534076707> see flag> want to build a railway Fucking chink
>>534080522>Why would the Saudis let UAE use their capacity when the Saudis can fill the pipeline themselvesThey wouldn't. And UAE wouldn't rely on Saudi Arabia for their pipeline. That gives the situation we have
>>534076707Politicians ≠ Engineers
>>534076962>>534076905By and large, several of them already have.
>>534080131>tenetsHow is that anon not just introducing the same problem again?
>>534076707see desu, people yap about there not being infrastructure to support such a thing, but frankly why the FUCK did they not have this hindsight considering hormuz is a chokepoint.i want to say arabs are retarded for this, but in reality its the fault of american and british oil merchants wanting to be cheap. suppose thats why we love israel so much.
>>534081966Thats why no other president ordered an invasion even though they all loved to shit on Iran. The military knew, everyone knew, but the people elected king retard.
>>534082172but see, why didnt the US or Britain advise the oil merchants to produce this infrastructure decades ago, right after the iranian revolution kicked off, and israel sucking cock for our involvement. either its gross incompetence (it isnt) or there was good reason not to make such infrastructure, and enforcing it on the arabs. i IMAGINE it was to keep them onside with us to be against iran.
>>534080131while a cool fact i wont lie, irrelevant. if the USN (founded by a scot, im proud) were truly the sea police, like i said with my prior post, they'd have hindsight.
>>534080043this guy gets it. but why not more? it was always a clear fucking threat in hormuz. as much as we all think bigwigs are retarded, they really arent as a collective.
>>534076900this^God blesses those who bless Israel
>>534080003thank you, wise jew. also oman is onside, theres no excuses for this. come to scotland sometime. we get oddly excited with yids here, it's like a unicorn (which is our national animal btw. seriously, look it up).
>>534082172king big balls, you meanthere is no reward for failing to participate. better to try and fail. You would be a billionaire if you understoodmy bank account?uh...mind your own business!
>>534082764Only Saudi Arabia really has the geography to do it. Apparently there was one across the northern part of SA to Jordan for 30 years but they gave up on it for various reasons
>>534076830It's 1350km across as the crow flies without accounting for the mountain range that has peaks and valleys with 1500 m elevation.
>>534076707hitting the pipelines is much easier than hitting ships
>>534076707it's called a pipelinewhich I thought they already had a ton
>>534083266Saudis have no reason to be against the UAE, Kuwait or Bahrain etc, but I get your point. I remember from my time as an Officer in the British Army being told that Pakistanis were mortaring British troops in the GWR, and heavy Chinese involvement. Little facts like these that NO ONE knows should drive people to understanding that the region is far more complex than the media depicts.The objective is resources it's true, but the objective is really to stall China and Russia. Why do you think the British Gov, especially, is banging on about Russia constantly but not giving a clear answer as to why Europe is bringing back conscription and that a larger war is imminent? because on the surface of what were being told theres NO real reason, but behind closed doors there certainly is.
>>534076707You must be a boomer. Only a boomer would be this dumb
>>534076707the illusion of conflict, or better yet, the desire to fabricate conflict.it'd be easier to make an underground transportation highway for trucks to transport the oil, than to send it by ship, but niggers want a justification for war, the oil is just a pretense.
>>534076830>why can’t they do that?where is pipe to israhell?
>>534076707tactical long range Somalian nuclear ICBMs
>>534076707Saudi will tax them and pipelines of that size take many years to build
