Foreign Policy

Ukraine should have been doing this from day one. Everyone is a tough guy until their trip to the gas station costs a smidge more. Be thankful we are net exporters of refined products with more oil supply in our hemisphere than we can refine. This is the value of energy independence - rake in massive profits when the rest of the world lights itself on fire. "Our idiot" was laughed at by Germany a decade ago when he warned them of their energy dependence on Russia. Good luck staying warm this winter Gunter.

Now is not the time for export restrictions. Refining is a brutally cyclical business. Unlimited downside but capped upside is a great way to destroy an industry. Greenie weenies have been bad enough attacking refining capacity for years. Let them cook.

Guys, just take it from Drayer, war doesn't impact the price at the pump more than green new deal rhetoric! I would have thought in 2 years Trump would have rooted out all those haters! I'm sure Drayer isn't blaming the war for price increases......



Take it from Drayer, blaming Russia is a trademark play when the Dems fail! Good thing it's the Dems in office......

Was not wrong. Imagine having another few years of anti-fracking alphabet regulators at work with diminished supply. Fracking is keeping the train on the tracks right now. The insane prices we experienced under Biden were self-inflicted from his admins stupidity. We have global supply shocks right now. Yes- Biden was retarded and it cost money.

I can't keep up with what's going with the intensifying attacks between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis, and it's hard to decipher what's really going on here.



The conflict between Yemen's Houthi movement, Saudi Arabia, and the internationally recognized Yemeni government has sharply escalated, shattering a previous four-year truce and threatening critical Red Sea shipping lanes.

The fighting and Houthi pressure on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—a vital trade chokepoint—have exacerbated global oil supply pressures and trade concerns, especially as transit through the Strait of Hormuz remains heavily disrupted.

To me, it's starting to sound fishy and false-flag-y, with a whole lotta misinformation floating around out there. We have to ask who wants the higher oil prices? Who wants more chaos in the area?

I think Trump and the coalition behind him including large oil conglomerates absolutely want higher oil and market disruption to damage its enemies' economies, but also to keep the pressure on the American consumer. Sorry chaps, but IMO, these are Trump and his backers' goals. Get America into crisis and kill the economy so that they can ultimately kill the Dollar-backed economy and make the American public (and really, the world) compliant to a new digital currency world controlled by a CBDC entity that controls all.

And Israel is salivating and can't wait to see all of the Middle East in conflict and draw out Turkey and Egypt and into regional conflict that they will somehow certainly find a way to exploit for their "Greater Israel project" and vision.

Enjoy your $8.00 gallon of gas...

Those alphabet soup folks that you talk about seemed to be doing a much better job than the losers in charge now. Prices spiked February 2022 and then to May 2022, you know that war you said could be an out for Trump but not Biden? That war started February 2022. You know who lit you defense stockpiles on fire, claims they’ve won the war but not actually a real war ok maybe a war 1042 times, and caused prices to go up? The guy who somehow is overseeing gas prices skyrocketing due to his retarded war.

Everyone in the world paying more because of your boy totally fucking up in Iran. It’s 2026 and you’re still blaming Biden lol.

 

[RDU Irish]

Kow tow to Iran and Russia please so we can have cheap gas. I thought all you libs had EVs? Shouldn't you be laughing your way to work?

Neocons are going to neocon - there is a reason oil tycoons love ME wars.

The idiots that drained the SPC and had to go make shit deals with Maduro while red-taping Midland? Have you not noticed the day by day destruction of refineries in Russia? I'll take managing flow of the SoH over the party that casually watches Iran fund terrorism with Oil flow and build a nuke. The retards are out. You have supply shocks all around the world and the policies of this administration have us better positioned than Europe and Asia. Remember when we had to hear about how inflation was global- well this is a globally traded commodity. How does WTI compare to Brent right now? Henry Hub to TTF? We're doing so with the Democrat drained reserves because of their inept policies. I'll take the pro-energy party over the anti-frackers any day.

You're an ASS-assin just like Polish Leppy (altho' to be fair, not as of late, this AM's snipe not withstanding). All you do is wait for posts, come with a pithy snipe (in your mind anyway) and then shoot.

Do you have anything of value to add? I'm saying it's not clear what the hell is going on there but it sure does appear to be something that's not good when it hits the American consumer and for countries in the region who have avoided the conflict in the area so far.

Please do enlighten us with your infinite wisdom instead of being a sniper.

 

[Fbolt]

I add plenty of value. Not to you-you espouse AI (oh wait-AI is going to kill us!!). You admit you just started learning crap and then dog people who have been dealing with this for years. You are a fool who has too much time to watch YT conspiracy theories.

Haha-Sniper? Assassin? Fool? Ass? IDGAF what you call me. Is this another attempt at Stolen Valor? Mr. high speed keyboard warrior. A loon, typing in your parents basement. Throw the remote and move on.

I feel like Russia has their hands full with Ukraine and aren't interested in taking over Muslim countries.
