Was this outcome anticipated? If it wasn't, why not?

[berg80]

If we’re still conducting operations in the Summer (today is the first day of Spring), would it fair to call this excursion/strike/campaign/war/act of war/expedition a failure?

No matter how the war is characterized, it may prove to be catastrophic in some parts of the world if it doesn't end very soon.

The Forces of Scarcity Hitting Asia May Soon Spread Across the World​

When the war in Iran started on Feb. 28, Asia expected to see serious, gradual impacts from losing access to a huge portion of the world’s oil and gas. But the conflict’s economic and social impacts have hit the region harder and faster than officials and experts expected.

Many countries across the Asia-Pacific are experiencing sudden jolts of disruption that they are struggling to manage, with some comparing the crisis’s breakdowns and scope to the Covid pandemic.

Even if there is a peace deal soon, the future of this industrious region that has driven global economic growth for decades will likely include months of canceled flights, surging food prices, factory pauses, delayed shipments and empty shelves for products long considered quick and easy to buy worldwide: plastic bags, instant noodles, vaccines, syringes, lipstick, microchips and sportswear.

Collectively, according to many officials and experts, if the war’s strangling of commercial traffic through the Middle East lasts for even a few more weeks, and uncertainty lingers, shortages could push several countries into convulsions of unrest, followed by recession.

At BEST

After the latest setback for peace the inflationary impact of higher oil prices will continue to get worse all around the globe.

Meh, alternative sources were already in place and developed before the Iranians got a response to their terrorism. Go take a nap, and try and find some real news.

We have a Trump Cabinet official admitting gas won't get below three dollars until next year, and he's the energy secretary.

Tell Chris Wright to get some real news, neocon moron.

lol some moron with nothing is calling others a moron.

Real news? find some that shows where Trump owns all the oil companies, and then ordered them to start gouging American consumers. If you can't you must be a moron.

It's the kind of gibberish we get from cult members when reality conflicts with their delusions.

 

[BackAgain]

Don't care about the rules of law? How about murder? You closeted Obiden folks own it (enabling, joining and Fluffing the Marxist). How to get away with murder right now in VA. Stain, MiddleStain cause it all.//

Interestingly, I have repeatedly heard friends and family and acquaintances ask,

“don’t you think that anyone who would do ‘THAT’ has to be literally insane?” The word “THAT” usually involves some sickening criminal brutality killing one or more people.)

In a way, that’s a commonly held view amounting to collective “common sense.”
Flip side? When some idiot scumbag plans it out in advance, and writes a helpful” to do list” for his “plan” ( thereby convicting himself in essence) the public reaction to their own bias (ie, “well he must be crazy to do THAT”) Is quite the opposite.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

Wow. Put down the crack pipe, son.

wow, learn to find real news, kid. Replacements for gulf products began last frigging summer, tard. I already posted where and when and from who; you're just stupid and can only parrot what you're told, is all.

Your bosses are lying to you; Trump's actions were not 'spur of the moment' ego trips. Those would be you and your degenerate deviant peers usual reactionary babbing.

Yes, everything is over your heads. Nothing new with with that.

The war against Iran and the fragility of Southeast Asia’s energy responses​

The US-Israeli war against Iran has underscored Southeast Asia’s vulnerability when it comes to energy supplies. But regional countries need to think beyond stopgap measures, writes Elbinsar Purba.

You just parroted that from somewhere else Our Asian allies will be getting their NG from Alaska in the near future. In the meantime, Trump opened up Venezuelan oil production and that will be heading to Asia soon, over safer shipping lanes as well. Fertilizer? Trump took care of that last summer, as I've already posted. you're just too stupid to do basic research, or more likely you're just fine with being a parrot and spamming threads with repetitive idiot bullshit over and over and over, like you peers.

You worried about your heroes the Red Chinese Cadre, eh?

 

[berg80]

Fertilizer? Trump took care of that last summer, as I've already posted. you're just too stupid to do basic research

AI Overview

A severe, ongoing fertilizer shortage in early 2026, driven by conflict in Iran and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, is causing global price spikes and threatening crop yields. Key nitrogen-based fertilizers like urea have seen surging prices, with up to a third of global supply impacted.
AI Overview

A severe jet fuel shortage is gripping Asia, driven by the Iran conflict and disruption of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, causing airlines to cut flights and raising risks of further travel disruptions through summer 2026. Major producers like China and Thailand have restricted exports, causing shortages in reliant markets including Vietnam, Myanmar, and Pakistan.

Gosh, how embarrassing for you.

By the way, despite having large reserves, because of aging infrastructure, Venezuela actually produces certain limited amounts of oil

That won’t change without huge foreign investment and a good amount of time

What an odd way of failing to defend Dotard for the ramifications of his choice to start a war with Iran.

So your answer is yes, and you're all butthurt your Cadre might face an oil shortage. Okay.
