Or just maybe don’t fricking start an unprovoked war for reasons no one really knows. Is it about nukes? Is it about Iran being meanies? Is it about terrorism? How many Americans has Iran killed in America? How many Americans has Iran killed period? Seriously, why do we give a single frick about a third world country halfway around the world?

People tried to run it up into the 100s quick, but the market reminded itself that we aren't in the same situation as we were back then
In the Permian Basin, we want from 5mm barrels a day in 2022 to 6.7 today.
That’s a 34% increase.
We are a lot more stable

We need to produce enough off our own oil so it doesn’t effect us . Let the rest of the world feel the high gas prices till they decide to join in and destroy Iran and let the oil tankers by .
We are currently producing more oil daily than any country in world history

It's crazy how stupid our society has gotten. A decade+ (pre-Trump) ago we'd be at close to $5/gallon in the cheapest areas in the nation. Today it's in the 3.50 range.
Absolutely nothing to do with Trump or any other president and everything to do with hydraulic fracturing

It’s about ending the regime and putting one in place that won’t train and equip violent proxies in the region.

A fricking lot. Probably directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of American soldiers.

Because of fricking oil. It’s important and we need to control the price of it. It’s not that complicated.

The oil was flowing fine before we decided to start this war, prices were in the $50-$60s, everything was fine, the USA is currently producing more oil than any country in world history. Is this really about oil?
If the goal is control the price of oil will we be targeting other opec nations next?

I was simply answering his question as to why we’re interested in “3rd world shitholes” in the ME.
You’ll just have to suck up a couple more bucks per gallon until we finish the war.

Sure but that doesn’t really make sense? We need to control the price of oil by implementing a regime change in Iran? Please explain how that makes even a little bit of sense
Are you implying the price of oil was too high prior to starting the war in Iran?

Controlling oil is the overarching reason we’ve ever been interested in the Middle East despite what all the Israel haters here seem to think.
The Iranian regime causes havoc all over the region. An Iranian regime that is friendly and cooperative with the other Middle East countries and the rest of the world means we won’t have to focus on the Middle East as much as we traditionally have.

Ok say that is the case, how has regime change historically worked out in the ME for the US? We’ve literally sent $9T there since 2000 and what have we got from it other than debt and deaths?

Iraq is at least a partner to the US now. It’s not ideal but they aren’t an enemy. So when we get done with Iran we should be in pretty good shape over there.

oil prices are pretty low.
Have not even hit the "green new deal" price points from the Biden admin yet.

Wasn’t there some kind of economic event in 2008?
Why do you keep wanting to know where people live and what they do for work? Pretty fricking weird

because it adds credibility to your post and no there was no financial crisis that led to the spike in oil prices, we had an imagined sub prime mortgage crisis but that had nothing to do with the increase in oil, i'm guessing in 2008 you were still watching power rangers.
here's your answer child it was based on pure speculation, the futures market had taken over the physical market for oil and led to a bubble. that happens from time to time. i got my series 3 in 1985 when did yo get yours?

This is the correct answer. Iran was the primary source of IEDs during the Iraq War. Those IEDs killed and maimed thousands of US soldiers.

Why not build a freaking pipeline to the red sea that all oil producing countries can share and get the hell away from the straight of hormuz.
