$29 Billion Later, the Price of Gas Has Increased 62%
Posted on 5/22/26 at 2:47 am

The Strait of Hormuz was open and operating normally in February 2026 (averaging 150 ships per day, petroleum and LNG flowing normally).
The average US gas price in February was $2.91 per gallon. Today it is $4.56.
Iran war costs (as of today) are $29 billion since the war began.
For the life of me I can’t understand this 4-D chess economics. But I’m sure there’s a plan, no one would completely disrupt the economy and world order for no reason.
But since we solved all domestic problems like the deficit, voter fraud, and runaway government spending, I guess we have time for personal wars of choice

I see no mention of a terrorist state developing nukes. Why?

And what was the price of oil under Biden after he gave a bunch of Dem donors and NGOs about $1 trillion through the Green New Deal SCAM?

$29 billion later and no one has gotten blown up by a nuclear bomb!

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we’ve attacked two BRICS nations and close the channel that 70% of chinas oil passes through…all just before China meets with Xi. I would imagine they are using that as leverage in their talks. I would think they have a timeline of resolution through ending negotiations with China or easing control over the oil before November elections.

It’s funny that the ones worried about the price of fuel, are the same ones that told us we needed to send as much of our tax dollars to fund Ukraine to fight Russia. You couldn’t put a price on what we should be willing to give to Ukraine.

Because there has been no evidence presented of the alleged nuke development that has been two months away for the last 40 years.

Why is this a continual talking point for this board. Agreement is Biden was terrible. Doesn’t make Trump’s policies good by any measure. They are just a little less shitty.

You mean the talks where Xi demeaned us on the world stage and where Trump pledged to bring in 600,000 chi-coms to be educated by us and steal our intellectual property.

But you are right, at most $50 a month. I will add if you have an employer and drive for work, you are compensated for milage. the mileage is tied to price of gas so the higher the gas the more you collect to offset the cost.

Biden's energy policy raised energy prices for make believe reasons.
Trump has sane energy policy. The uptick in energy has nothing to do with Trump's energy policy and everything to do with the actions of foreign bullies who need to be punched in the mouth every now and then.
Iran has been terrorizing and killing people in the region for decades.

You are acting as if Trump doesn’t control his own decisions and they exist independently in a silo. His energy policy is directly impacted by his foreign policy decisions. You can’t say “oh his energy policy is sound but Iran is a rogue state and it messed up his plan.” He made the decision to do this. He detrimentally affected his own policies.
