Iran is transporting oil to China via rail

[tyroneweaver]

The blockade is useless

 

[shockedcanadian]

That is a horrible idea. I could tell of numerous stories of sabotaging railways during WWI and that was over 80 years ago.

The U.S could destroy 200 meters of track in 5 different locations (for certainty) for a total of 1KM of destroyed track and the railway would be useless for months.

Don't forget Nordstream II. Sabotaging resource and revenue raising exports is a critical aspect of success during times of war.

LOL No way to transship anywhere near the oil by rail that large ships can transport.

That's why I laughed at the OP!

Does Warren buffet own those trains?

What about a pipeline?

 

[Yarddog]

It cost only 2 billion? crosses 4 countries ..6000 miles?? someone please get Gavin Newsom on the phone.

LOL yeah right. The Iranian Regime doesn't think so. Transporting oil by rail eh? Time to blow up some train tracks.

 

[Yarddog]

I mean seriously. we are estimated now at 128 BILLION here in california and it wont go all the way to L.A.
they cant do it! its got to stop at Bakersfield. What was wrong with AM-Track?
I wish we could import some cheap oil into California by rail!

But imagine that wonderful day in 2060 when the first train pulls into Bakersfield! That will be worth the $200 Billion right?

The Orange Beluga says the war is terminated.

We'll probably have moon settlements before they can get to Bakersfield, and definately mars colonies before they can get the train past the grapevine.

How would China react to such aggression?

Seems the Cheeky Chappies outsmart the US Zionists at every turn .
A much smarter and higher IQ nation .

I see the Gerald R Ford is scuttling back home after desperately trying to repair its Toilets system .
That picture encapsulates the US these days .
Cannot even control the direction it pisses in .

They would have to find another source for oil.

A steady flow of freight trains can be pretty impressive.
But if it is known....yes it is very, very easy to stop.
Tracks don't move and trains are slow....sooooo

Seems waste disposal is a major problem with big ships

That might be a declaration of war on China, they won't like that idea.

China wants to go to war over Iran?

Unlikely
