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.

I'd have to see the financials to know if we are simply being subjected to situational profit taking or if prices really reflect same profit margins as two weeks ago. I think a lot of it is never let a crisis go to waste.

and apparently they blow up ships as well

the Trans Arabian pipeline use to pass through syria and lebanon to the mediteranian and yes it was sabotaged a few times.

There was a time when all those countries got along.
Then when Russia didnt want competition for the European Market, they allied with Syria and shut down the pipeline.

All the conflicts in the middle east is over who gets to supply Europe with Oil and Gas.

Our navy needs to barge their way into the strait and take it forcefully. The Marines need to take the islands in the strait and we need to set up an air defense umbrella over the shipping lanes. It’ll cost us some lives and treasure but it has to happen. You can’t fight a war if you’re afraid of the consequences.


The US has busted a move that cannot be reversed. The US is either all in to win or risk facing another multi trillion dollar shite show war with nothing of lasting value to show when hostilities end.

There is one. It runs through SA. has a max capacity of around 6mm bd i believe but I could be wrong on that part, and I know they upped it's throughput about a week ago. But it takes time to move tankers and get it going to final destinations.

Yes.

The saudis built a pipeline to the red sea to avoid the Iranians at the Strait of Hormuz.

Why do you think the Houthis (Part of the Iranian Quds force) were active in Yemen?
