We are so fucked. 20% of oil has been cut off the world, and people pretend its fine. It isn't, it hasn't ran out, governments have released their emergency supplies and the last shipments of oil are arriving. Once this hits its going to hit like a truck, imagine 20% of energy gone. Everything is going to be so fucked for months on end. Up till now the ships that left the strait before the war were still arriving, governments were managing this conflict as if it was only going to last a few days or weeks at most.
>>84310306>fucked for months on end>monthshahaha that's some adorable copingthis is going to last for years and it's going to get worse in a way you can't even allow yourself to imagine
>>84310306Good.Less greenhouse gases going into our atmosphere.Let human civilization struggle, sounds funny.
>>84310306You just want a catastrophe to be hysterical about to deflect blame from your local loser life being such shit. Nothing significant is going to happen to you if oil prices are higher for a couple years this has happened multiple times throughout my lifetime. Every time we fuck around in that desert shithole called the middle east this happens. Iraq/Kuwait war, Iraq/Afghanistan war, now Iran, this isn't anything new. You young fags will learn in time your "the sky is falling" event will never come.
>>84310306*laughs in infinite fracking supply suddenly becoming economically viable*USA #1
>>84310306Ever compounding evidence that global markets and offshoring domestic industry/moving to service is a mistake. At least we started some domestic chip production tho
>>84310403That doesnt matter when goy-le companies just sell to the global highest bidder with 0 loyalties or interest in the nation. You MUST pay the higher rate because shitistan bumfuckbergistan cant get their oil for keeping the lights on in their desert city
>>84310306kek I hope Trump fully spergs out in impatience and carpet bombs that shithole. Why we let retarded inbred sand niggers affect ANYTHING in the rest of the world is beyond me. White people need to go back to being more ruthlessly practical about survival and authority. We've babysit brown people long enough they can't do fuck all anything useful on their own. Their oil industry only exists because of us they would still be sitting on camels and chopping each other heads off with rusty swords if it wasn't for white colonialism and trade.
>>84310493Too many crybullies but i think people (politicians and advertisers) are starting to figure out you can just ignore them and face literally 0 repurcussions, not like they vote in meaningful numbers or buy things anyway
>>84310393This. How does this affect you personally? Grow up.
>>84310515Haha fuel prices go brrr 33% increase in a month
>>84310510I hope so, as with "go woke go broke" I think a lot of people are finally figuring out the virtue signaling crybullies don't matter and it's not beneficial to listen to those self-righteous hypocrite wackjobs. Pandering to them hurts politicians and companies more than a few petty votes earned. Something good to come out of the Trump/Musk/Kanye era.
>>84310553Fuel is 3 dollars a gallon where I live. Try not living in a inhospitable desert that never should have been a major coastal city in the first place.
>>84310306Um oil is like bad for the environment sweaty so this is like actually a good thing
>>84310445Transport costs are massive, we're still advantaged.
>>84310589I live in Euroland and prices have increase to $9.41 for a US Gallon
>>84310306>Make a infrastructure that relies on faster-than-horse transportation, that relies on a resource found under the feet of the most psycho terrorists.>Prices destabilize once per decade.Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.They should divide up Iran and give it to its neighbors like they did to Germany.
>>84310306You didn't seem to panic when the Ukraine war cut off global oil supplies and spiked the price of gas.Why is that?
>>84310306You know what's actually crazy, we all have stockpiles of the stuff, we're just paying for the possible future profit loss of these oil companies, I'm not joking.
>>84311101>Why is that?We did and now they are both happening at the same time. Prices are just as bad as back in 2022
>>84311129Want to link me a thread you made back in 2022?
>>84311139I didn't make this thread and we were complaining about fuel prices in 2022. Just see /o/ from that time.Or just skip to the part where you say we are paid shills not complaining about 2022 due to some recent mental illness on a shit board onegaishiblox
>>84310393You're just wealthy and lucky, dipshit. Lots of people have had the sky fall on them and plenty will continue to. You're just well off enough that nothing will significantly affect you and you lack the empathy to realize you're a special case.>>84310589Fuel is $4/gal on average in the US. You're either lying or...yeah, you're lying.
>>84310306But Kamala would have started a war with Iran.
>>84310403That doesnt matter. EPAtards in Cali made getting oil illegal so I had to fill up for $6.50 a gallon in this shitstate because we import all our oil. My buddy in NM is still filling up for <$2.50 a gallon. (He lives near Texas border and theirs is even cheaper) The USA (and by extension many individual states) could be 100% self sufficient, but EPA faggots just will not let us stop relying on these oil princes. Tin Foil Hat theory is they are paid off to keep it that way, but it is also possible they genuinely mean well.
>>84310306It's actually much worse than that. Global commodities for urea (~50%) and helium (~33%) pass through the strait and are necessary for fertilizer and semiconductor chip production, respectively. LNG is even more fucked and is highly necessary for electricity production.>>84311101Going to war with Iran was a voluntary obvious disaster with unparalleled unpopularity. Russia invaded Ukraine and western sanctions were extremely popular across our allies. No western ally is helping us with Iran for good reason.
>>84312164Going to war with Russia was a voluntary move.Obama didn't choose to start a war with Russia when they invaded Crimea in 2014. But it might have been because he was colluding with the russians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNxEDomUlXw
>>84312170The US isn't at war with Russia, you're having a stroke my dude.
>>84312180They are engaged in a proxy war.U.S. assistance to Israel for the four-year span that roughly corresponds to Jan 20, 2017 Jan 20, 2021 (i.e. FY2017-FY2020 totals reported) was about $13.95 billion (obligations).U.S. assistance to Ukraine for the roughly comparable four-year span Jan 20, 2021 Jan 20, 2025 is an order of magnitude larger - on the scale of $174 billion-$183 billion depending on accounting rules and cut-off date.$174 billion is about 12.5 times larger than $13.95 billion.
>>84312206You have like 3 talking points you've been spamming for years in any thread criticizing Trump's foreign policy disasters. The US should stop giving even a penny to Israel, but that's not the main issue I implied or said. We're actually at war with Iran because of Israel now, and we're going to cause a global recession far beyond affecting gas prices and most likely an unbelievable refugee crisis.
>>84310306are you genuinely retarded do you actually think that iran wouldnt get nuked if something like oil was actually impacted for longer than like a weekfirst of all iran is not only going to cut oil from us but from europe too so literally no one is going to give af about iran getting destroyed
>>84312228Is this the part where you tell me US soldiers firing US weapons at targets located by US intelligence doesn't count as the US being at war with Russia?
>>84312272American volunteer soldiers for any given country isn't the US army, obviously. If you were actually American, you could fight for Russia. It wouldn't mean Russia is at war with us. If they were, there'd be nuclear war.
>>84312244Have you just woken up from a coma? The war started over 5 weeks ago and it's been affecting gas prices ever since. It's massively fucking over Europe and Asia since they rely on Middle Eastern oil/natural gas far more than we do, even. It's also fucking over commodity trade.
>>84310306Solutions to the retarded Iran situation>Use te red sea on the other side of Saudi Arabia>Once prices get too nasty liquefy coal like they did in ww2>if that isn't enough use hemp which has the best Hydrocarbon and growth cycle rate to make Biodesil>Tell europe to turn on their fucking nuclear reactors>Ask china nicely how to make a Thorium reactor.This crisis is being done on purpose.The real issues are nitrogen and helium. If we composted this could be manageable.Helium on the other hand.... better hope China really is mining Helium 3 on the moon or there is some breakthrough replacement found.
>>84310306It will actually be more than that since the Houthis are escalating their Jihad on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula and Ukraine recently started a round of indiscriminate, unrelenting bombings towards Russian energy infrastructure and vice versa. Good thing my country is a net energy exporter for the most part with partially nationalized oil and are the biggest exporter of uranium and nuclear power in the world. Good riddance, I can't believe western countries willingly chose to be bound to hostile petrostates for so long.
