Europe feeling the pinch -- running out of jet fuel cnbc.com

quote:

The International Energy Agency’s head warned Thursday that Europe maybe has six weeks left of jet fuel as the airline industry continues to grapple with headwinds due to the Middle East crisis.



NPR's take on it.

quote:

The world's 3 top jet fuel producers have been knocked out



quote:

Europe and Asia have been particularly affected because they rely directly on crude oil and refined products shipped out of the Persian Gulf. But even the U.S. — the world's largest oil producer and a net exporter of jet fuel — is interconnected to this global system.





Just need a European 'leadership' summit with a couple of thousand private jets, to really drive it home.

Back to your regularly scheduled news of OMB, Epstein, ICE and Swalwell

Rather than assisting the U.S. in the Middle East, they'll just ignore it, then run around like chickens with their heads cut off. I think most of Europe is beyond hope at this point. They are useless to us.

Dear Europe,

Fall in line like the peasants you be. Do as your told, speak only when asked.

Sounds like a European problem.

Was Europe running out of jet fuel before the US and Israel attacked Iran?


Why would they assist someone who disrupted their oil, and is attempting them into a years-long military operation without proper pre planning?

An ally who has been issuing tariffs on them for the past year, to add.

Throw some solar panels on those jets. Lets see how that works out.

Here is where you lose me.

We are the number 1 producer of jet fuel...have we been taken out?

Behind us are(in order)
China
S Korea
Russia

Of those, I can see S Korea and China struggling getting stock. But why say the top 3 have been knocked out? I read the article. It doesn't explain.

They are. They are just blindly following what the EU and WEF tell them to do.

What's the problem? Just get it from Iran.

Why would they spend 50 years buying their primary source of petroleum from a nation that chants "death to America" when America pays the lion's share of military defensive costs for the whole of Western Europe?

All the baby bitch Euros can do is whine and clutch pearls. No wonder they almost got defeated by Germany until we stepped in.
