Get in here guys, Saudi Arabia just shut down the East-West Pipeline after the houthi attacks from yesterday. They said the pipeline was still operational but that it was taking "precautionary" measures but that's probably them saving face...
>>542422871It might also just be Saudis trying to prempt the inevitable closure of the Bab Al Mandab strait now that the Houthis are close to taking the entire coastland

lmao unless Trump manages to get gas prices to drop at least 2 dollars per gallon in the next 7 weeks republicans are going to get clobbered in the midterms
How did the Houthis (a remote mountain insurgency) defeat the world's most advanced army and its Saudi+Israeli masters?
>>542423230>>542423253I dont think people have fully grasped just what is happening here. This is no joke. Its a lot of oil. This is the biggest oil producer (Saudi Arabia) shutting down its biggest pipeline after the war. >Before the war: ~10+ million bpd produced, ~6–7 million bpd exported, with only ~2 million bpd going through the East-West/Yanbu route.>After Hormuz was disrupted: Saudi Arabia shifted much more of its export flow toward the East-West pipeline Yanbu, getting that route above 5 million bpd.
CAM ON HOUTHISBARN SOM FACKING OIL
Not my problem.
>>542423139Probably that
>>542423264houtis have more advanced and longer range missiles than even Iran. they're absolutely no joke
>>542423264>a remote mountain insurgencyThis is why dictators like Saddam Hussein were a thing in the middle east. Its also why the middle east prospered under them. All it took was a few thousand of these rebels from 4 villages to band together, petition the USSR or china for AK-47s and rpgs and it was a headache for the government. They could hold a refinery hostage. That's why Hussein would massacre entire villages to prevent any of the kids from coming back for vengeance. And in today's world of readily available temu arsenals, dictators like Hussein are needed even more. Otherwise you cant ensure oil output to the world.The pozzed world we live in is forcing the us military to fight with one hand behind its back
>>542423264innit, nice place that mountain too>>542423911chinny fucking reckon
>>542423264Shia Excellence
>>542422871All according to the plan of the chaos worshipping desertnigger feminist tribes
>>542423253What does it even matter? Trump clearly isn't restrained by congress. As soon as the midterms happen he'll probably nuke Iran or order an invasion because it would be too humiliating for him to slink away defeated.
>>542423992>Hussein>dictatorShut up kike shill
>>542423992That’s Saddam’s double by the way, Michalef Ramadan. See how kind his eyes look, compared to the real Saddam’s bottomless gaze. otherwise a remarkable resemblance.
i'm surprised this isn't being discussed more
>>542423253Rates are going up next week and then it's over. If they don't go up it's even more over.
>>542424994Doesn't everyone have Netflix?
>>542423253>Republicans fuck everything up>America elects Democrats to clean up the mess>Democrats get obstructed by Republicans>America votes for Republicans to punish Democrats for not cleaning up the mess fast enough>Republicans fuck everything upAnd the cycle continues
>>542425165I think their numbers are in the toilet the past year or two.
>>542424994Thats how you know its an actual big deal. They either want to act like its not a problem hoping it goes away or they want to preprogram things before the public starts to figure things out (like covid)
>>542423471shouldn't this get even russia and china to take action?i guess people could just send poojeets and worst koreans as cannonfodder to take out houthis.
>>542423264Vastly underestimatedAlso Saudi and the UAE stitched together a mix of mercs and locals to fight them, then got their shit rolled over in a weekSaudi has really fucked up here, I am shocked to what extent, they are now no longer exporting oil and the US has told them to essentially fuck offMBS will be sweating
>>542424994This should tell you everythingYou better believe that this is being discussed but they are keeping stum as much as possible
>>542422871I've been waiting for this all my life
>>542423264Karma bitch
>>542427031Same as Afghanistan and Vietnam. A determined peasantry that is suitably pissed off will see off the mightiest of people invaders eventually.
>>542425204Nice try, but it actually goes like this:>Republicans fuck everything up>America elects Democrats to clean up the mess>Democrats fuck everything up>America votes for Republicans to clean up the mess>Republicans fuck everything up>retards like you continue for fall for this shit
>>542426671>shouldn't this get even russia and china to take action?I felt like that after hormuz. The thing with trump is that he's a massive sperg. He understands situations and he knows how to spot issies but he sucks at being a diplomat. Any other president would have had a coalition by now
