That's your problem. You're thinking on a small time scale.

Dictators thinking the people they abuse will never fight back always bites the min the arse sooner or later.

If the Iranians are not willing to possibly die to over throw the tyrannical leaders of that country then the have yet more suffering to endure.

What if I told you diesel prices had more to do with the Ukraine Russia conflict than Iran?

How long should we expect to wait? This war was supposed to last two weeks.

“ We are still waiting. Been hearing this from the second week of the war.”

U.S. retail diesel was about $3.70 - $3.80 a gallon just before the Iran War began in February. It is as higher now as $6.50, a rise of $2.70 or about 75%.


Ukraine is striking oil refineries in Russia.

Iran getting help from the enemy of their friend.

If they said that, then they are stupid. This whole line of argument is bogus.

Diesel prices have nothing to do with Iran.

Refinery closures coupled with Ukraine blowing up most of Russia's refining capacity are what is driving the diesel prices.

Diesel prices are influenced by a much broader set of factors, including disruptions to Russian refining capacity from Ukrainian attacks.


Which really accounts for—just a guess, but—probably 80% of the price hikes we're seeing.

But you can't tell MAGA that.

If i were Iran, id absolutely hold out for an administration change and another plane full of money to show up. The american public is incredibly fickle, and they know this.

That is the story although everyone knows China is the #2 exporter of diesel and approx 25% of their stock is being interupted by the dustup in Iran while only 20% is from Russia.

After China, you have the expected exporters of Russia, Saudi, UAE, etc.

We also have usage issues from both the US and Russian militaries.

I would say the disturbance in Russia is about equal to disturbances in the ME.

I already covered this when I said Iran doesn’t care about their own people. The people are not going to overthrow the government.

I’d have to guess that the big benefit to there no longer being midterms to be used as a weapon against the efforts of this administration and our brave servicemen and women is that there will no longer be midterms to be used as a weapon against the efforts of this administration and our brave servicemen and women. I’m betting that the folks who will be the most disappointed by that change in circumstances are found right here in our own country, many of whom claim that they’re “principled conservatives.” Lolol
