I didn't realize that Trump made the decision for Iran to announce that it had uranium almost ready for an armed warhead.

I thought they made that decision on their own.

Well. Oil was $65 before we invaded Iran and its $106 now.

And you know. The price of oil being the biggest component of the price of diesel.

So. Yeah.

Are you really dumb enough to think the price of diesel is not directly related to the price of oil?

Leaving vacuums over there is a gamble. But.... I think this point in time to take Iran out was inevitable.

They want control of the whole world and kill the infidels

It's more related to the damaging of Russian and KSA refineries by the Houthis (Iran) and the Ukrainians who haven't had an election in years (USA and EU.)

Now what?

I don't know how else to explain it.. they (Iran) are living in biblical times.. something that you will never understand because that is not your religion. Their belief is to annihilate Israel and America off the face of the earth.

Every President for the past 3 decades has stated that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. They never did anything about it. Trump did.

Ok Mr Economist. Explain to the class how gas was $5.01 under Biden when the price of oil was $86? I’ll hang up and listen to your retard answer.

Diesel prices might just have something to do with refinery capacity you dumb boot licking arse clown.

They were primarily Zoroastrian. Iranians are Persian first, everything else after. It makes sense when you think of Persians vs Greeks, Alexander, etc. But, Islam destroys everything that is good and creative. They conquer it, and claim it as their own, but they don't produce anything meaningful other than methods to kill kaffir (kids at Christmas markets in Nice, etc.)

Started before Iran

This is from last summer...

quote:

A historic diesel crunch is unfolding across the Atlantic, and traders are scrambling. In the U.S., diesel stockpiles have dropped to their lowest seasonal level since 1996. Over in Europe, futures spreads are widening fast with the prompt premium in northwest Europe spiking to $44 per ton, a level not seen since late 2022 outside of expiry dates. Diesel's share of total oil product output hit just 31.4% last month, according to Energy Aspects well below typical seasonal averages. That's setting off alarm bells in a market that relies on diesel for everything from trucking to heating to industrial machinery.

Didn't Reagan pull out of Lebanon after that?


Reagan also kicked off massive immigration.

You think we should agree with everything Reagan did. That would make us a cult, right?


hilarious stupidity to push the "cult" bullshite constantly, then try a gotcha from a disagreement with a different president

I opened the thread with videos from 1983, 1996, and EFPs from the modern age, paid for, and provided by Iran.

Do I need to start trying to clip Iranian terror activities over the years (which I've done before) against the West, which are so numerous in activities that I have to break it into 3 or 4 posts? You're smarter than that, SDV.

I see.

That's why every president since 1979 has agreed that they can never be allowed to get one.

Every president since 1979, who all have disagreed on taxes, immigration, tariffs, the interest rate, LGBTQ issues, health care, gun rights, abortion, the budget, welfare, women's rights, energy policy, Israel, foreign policy with most other countries, Social Security, Daylight Savings time, who should be on the next Post Office Stamp, but the ONE issue they have ALL agreed upon is the one that

YOU

know better than ALL of them on.

frick, dude. Why didn't you tell somebody 45 years ago? Your totally unsubstantiated idiot opinion could have saved EIGHT administrations some grief.
