Why is oil above 100 dollars? Don’t we control the straight? Didn’t we win the war?

Try to answer why Trump lied without accusing anyone who sees how rotten this is of being a Democrat.

Whole thing shouldn't have happened. It was going to be a bungle from the start just based on who was running the operation (Colonel Vodka).

it's almost as if someone is behind the curtain pulling strings cyclically to steal money via high gas prices.

Biden was a retarded liar while President. He was a slimy scumbag before he went senlile.

Harris is a retarded pseudo-communist that would have fricked our country with wokeness.

There, see? Notice how I can think they’re terrible and still be pissed that Trump’s second term has been shite?

Isn't it amazing this is occurring right before the election? You will probably let the strategy of the manipulators control your destiny, right?

Because neither Trump nor the US control energy speculation which sets the prices for Brent crude, which most of the world uses to set prices. That mostly occurs in London.

London (ICE Futures Europe) — home of Brent futures, the world’s most widely used international benchmark. A large share of global physical cargoes is priced off Brent or Dated Brent. ICE is the other main venue for speculative volume.

I remember oil at $214 (in todays inflation adjusted dollars) in July 2008. It has been over $125 (in today's inflation adjusted dollars) many times since.

The POTUS and our military is righting the ship and will create an environment of stability for decades by neutering this area of the world.

It Will Be GLORIOUS! But, please, you do you!!

It's hint to the Trump administration to do the opposite of what Biden and Harris said. Admittedly, they lacked an exit strategy for Iran but I've been waiting 47 years to turn them into a parking lot.

Oil, gas and diesel are fetching incredible numbers in foreign markets and pushing the aggregate price point up globally. There are three options:

1. Let it continue. While the American consumer suffers, American companies are cashing in. If you trust the long game, this option is fine.

2. Price fix companies from selling oil, gas and diesel past a certain figure. This is pretty much communism/planned economy and should be a hard no for anyone with a brain

3. Prevent US oil, gas and diesel firms from selling product internationally. This keeps prices at home manageable and letting scumbag Europeans suffer the fate they should be suffering.

TLDR; there is no good solution. This is the climax of a decades long charade unfolding before your eyes. This conflict has simply sped up the inevitable

I 100% believe this to be true.

Bunk pointed it out actually. Bomb them on a Friday which causes the speculators to jump then short it at the top.

This part has but there's more to the story. The positives will receive almost no air time while the liberal media heads will never grow faint from telling us about Iran.

Trump has his focus on the wrong thing right now. He should have concentrated on getting prices much lower so the Republicans could hold Congress. The hit everyday Americans are taking to their wallet is going to be impactful on Voting day.

Hopefully seeing the Democrats push towards socialism will make some understand life could get much worse.

this is the answer: Prevent US oil, gas and diesel firms from selling product internationally. This keeps prices at home manageable and letting scumbag Europeans suffer the fate they should be suffering.

Or limit exports to some small amount.

Corporate greed is the only reason. Allowing speculators to make up some worry and run the price up is ridiculous. oil is the fuel of the whole economy and life. It should be the most stably priced thing ever.

No, we will not create a vacuum in Iran like we did in Iraq. But is we do need to go in, you can bet your very last dollar that the base we establish in country will ever be returned.

Persians are about to get their country back while the zealots get taken out. Do you support the IRGC zealots?
