Unintended consequences

[kevinthrowe]

An unintended consequence of this war is the increase in price of fertilizer.
Turns out 1/3 of the world’s fertilizer comes thru the straights.
The third largest fertilizer company says it’s prices have gone up
They said the crops will suffer from a lack of fertilizer on time
Oil more expensive 40 cents over night in Ohio
Food going up in time for mid terms

Wow......let's just look at the one or two negatives while ignoring the positives that are coming soon.

In order to assure a stable economy, eliminating a future threat, before it becomes less manageable, was pretty much the only way to go.
Iran was still attempting to develop nukes.....and once they had them they could literally hold the world hostage.

I have a "wait and see" attitude as to whether the war with Iran is a good thing or a bad thing.

There was zero urgency in this, the diplomatic process was advancing

Uh.....sorry.....diplomacy was going nowhere.

Besides......Muslims don't bargain with infidels in good faith.

As opposed to TACO

right...

it's been 'advancing' for the last 40 years.

Yep, the Iranian diplomat stated that their uranium enrichment was for peaceful purposes. The response from Secretary of State, Rubio "If it was peaceful, you dont have to bury the plant 70 feet down". The terrorists lie just as much as democrats do.

I wonder if there were people like you around when we entered WWII?

Herbert Hoover, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford ....just to name a few prominent ones

Not according to our negotiator who reported that the Iranian negotiator stated that Iran not only had the right to refine atomic material but already had enough to produce several nuclear weapons.

Japanese reactors are for peaceful purposes. A catastrophe may have been avoided if one had been buried deeper.

This is not even slightly true.

Top Fertilizer Exporting Countries in 2024​

The following table lists the leading countries in fertilizer exports by value in 2024:

Russia	$13.9 billion	16.6%
China	$8.5 billion	10.1%
Canada	$6.7 billion	8.0%
Morocco	$5.4 billion	6.4%
United States	$5.2 billion	6.2%
Saudi Arabia	$5.0 billion	5.9%
Belgium	$2.9 billion	3.4%
Oman	$2.7 billion	3.2%
Egypt	$2.43 billion	2.9%
Netherlands	$2.41 billion	2.9%

Saudi Arabia and Oman are the only ME countries near the Straight of Hormuz, but neither is dependent on the straight to export their fertilizer. Together they add up to only about 9%, not a third.

Cow shit is cheap.

TACO is a fake code for anyone that pisses off Democrats (Trump)

Trump uses tariffs as bargaining tools.

He often threatens using them.....and pulls them back once the trading party comes to the bargaining table in good faith.

Mostly tariffs are a bluff.

You can read about it in "The Art Of The Deal".

The straights won't be blocked for much longer.

No, the catastrophe happened when B-2 bombers bunker busted it.

Democrats arent very good in math, because math is racist.

The Straits will be opened soon .. ships are avoiding it out of caution .. Iran is no longer capable of closing the Strait of Hormuz..
