I’m asking because I don’t know.

This is all about fricking over China and Iran and the globalists. I know you don't understand it but just sit back and relax. I promise you'll enjoy this ride.

Impossible, the war is over and we are in complete control.

This 2nd administration is going to give Biden and Carter a run for worst foreign policy ever.

The only thing Trump has done is show how fragile the Middle East truly is in today’s world and why we need to control our own resources… if all the rich oil countries want to survive, they have to protect themselves and not rely on us alone… if they want our help… speak it publicly and loudly so the whole world knows ..

We likely are doing that in Bahrain. I don’t think we will rebuild the naval base Iran destroyed.

China and Iran are 2 of the largest opponents to globalism, with only Russia maybe being higher

We have an airbase within spitting distance of Bab Al Bandeb. We should be able to regain control of the strait before lunchtime but for whatever reason Trump is allowing the US military to be defeated all across the region because of his risk averse nature.

Okay I will sit back.

But I the meantime, can you give a rough estimate on the scenario of what will happen?

Knowing that things can change, was Yemen predicted to do this so close to midterms?

How will we prevent China from getting oil but allow the rest of the world?

How well can we protect both straits?

Is Venezuelan Crude the same sweetness and weight to supplement all lost Saudi oil for all waiting refineries?

Will oil get below 65 dollars a barrel before we start filling the strategic reserve?

You sound like you've had a little too much to think.

I sincerely am not coming after you.

But I got that reassuring reply from you that it was all going to be AOkay. That’s all.

But I cannot get any more than that as if you’re just repeating the same “hope it all ends well” line you got from some twitter handle.

Are you talking about the base in Djibouti? Because I’m pretty sure that exists just to protect the domestic Khat trade that keeps the current president in power.

China is a big net importer of oil. High oil prices hurt China badly. This will cause oil prices to go up. America, on the other hand, actually benefits from higher oil prices. This is distinct from the American consumer, who suffers from high oil prices.

Don't islamists consider any land that they once ruled "their land"?

Similar to the saying regarding the USSR negotiating - "what's mine is mine and what is yours is negotiable"...or was that in divorces?
