Trump’s answer to an Iranian desire to reign over the Strait of Hormuz.

I see. International chess? Grandmaster level?

More like 3 dimensional chess with transitional quadrilateral-to-triangular tessellation.

I don't.

We export oil.

It's the refined products that can cause us issues. Learn the industry and global market.


Color me worried.


Yeah, you can measure my concern in angstroms (single digit).


I work in the industry. I am quite aware of how prices move.

I work in the industry too. And the fact that the U.S. exports oil doesn’t insulate it from price movements.

Oil is globally traded and priced off benchmarks like Brent Crude, so supply disruptions push prices up across the board, regardless of where the barrels are produced.

So yes, the U.S. is in a better position than pure importers. But it’s not immune. Higher global prices still feed through into domestic markets, including refined products.

The only way you avoid that entirely is by fully decoupling from global markets, which isn’t how the system currently works.

What price movements are you talking about? Oil is a global commodity.

If Oil Prices go up, our exporters being more foreign dollars to us.

Domestic producers make more too.

And we pay at the pump.

But we are never going to be short oil.

Thank you captain obvious.

Yes they do. But disruption of supply and potential shortages will be greater in the refined products coming to our shores. That would be true of derivative products as well.

Correct. I am talking about supply, not price. We can't refine what we need. But we can produce all the oil we need (domestically). Disrupting refined products could cause us shortages and some pretty drastic grief.

It's the price increases not supply shortages that will have the political effects.

Prices rises that are exasterbated by constricting the markets. That's why you should care.

Your resorts to pointing at vaporous bullshit are pretty standard.

Already, your charlatan ways are being exposed as Trump is proving quite adept at tackling problems others won't.


Already got it.

What a battering old guy Trumpfy is taking .

Suggest you quietly switch sides and join the winning team .
Such fun with the Cheeky Chappies

Strange how my supposed BS thoughts and posts turn out to be accurate .
Guess I was lucky enough to be born with a sprig of Genius tucked into my hair .

It kind of has to be that, considering that apparently the way to beat a country constricting global oil flows is… to constrict oil even further.

The advantage of 3-dimensional chess with transitional quadrilateral-to-triangular tessellation is that it doesn’t actually exist, so you can define “winning” however you like.

I’d be amused by your analysis — except I see no reason to believe that you have the slightest ability to address the issue.

Idk, I had to laugh.

Trump has really gotten everyone's attention. He's going to be a tough act to follow. It's like having the good cop/bad cop all rolled up in one. Gary Busey is the only one that I think could pull it off, maybe Woody Harrelson.

I voted for this! Iran's had it coming since 1979, and Trump's givin' it to 'em!
It has to be an old man that knows how things should be and don't give a ****.
Or Rubio. Rubio was raised by the old guard and has balls. He's like me:
Younger, but with that old-school mindset.

Fortunately old munching Neo Con psychos are no longer taken very seriously .
Soon like rabid dogs they will be gently put to sleep .

Time for a new world and a fresh outlook ,Puke old chap .

See Puke is puking again

We were told that gasoline will go to $2.00 a gallon for an election. Yesterday we were told when it lowers it will have a 3 as the first number. Perhaps $3.00 a gallon at its lowest. It was around $2.85 give or take 10 to 15 cents either way for months before the war. This means there is some type of added costs from the globalists, and the massive printing of fiat currency is increasing real inflation higher than we are of course told.

It is a new world. Full of fresh air and sunshine and freedom, baby doll.
The mullahs and demoturds are just about all done.
We're going to see how good it can be without them.

Only in your sad little, very little, mind.

Suggest you quietly switch sides and join the winning team .

Suggest you print your suggestion, roll it up, and shove it.

Such fun with the Cheeky Chappies

I'll bet you are the life of the party. Two or three at a time.

When you actually get something right, it will be strange (new).

You'd know what that was like.

Who? Iranians? Not going to be very gentle.

When you say hard, are you talking about your parties?

Since this thread started with a meme. I figured I'd share this trailer that is probably more accurate.

It's called satire.

Pretty common form of humor.

In my experience how hard it lands is connected to how close it hits to reality.

Seems to have made a great big "thunk" ,on you.
