Trump steps up pressure on European allies to help protect strait of Hormuz
The de facto closure of the vital waterway by Tehran in retaliation for airstrikes by the US and Israel has proved catastrophic for global energy and trade flows, causing the largest oil supply disruption in history and soaring global oil prices. The US president’s call for allies to enter the war by sending ships to the strait to protect commercial shipping vessels and unblock global oil supplies has met a muted response. Australia, France, Japan and the UK are among the countries to have said they have no plans to send ships
Yea, right. The FSoA Navy won't go in there because it's too risky, & Trumpolini expects the Eurotrash to do it? For a war he started and didn't so much as give them a heads-up on? The same folks he has been dropping punitive tariffs on?
I'm getting a little tired of these military adventures being called "wars". Wars are where people fight each other. These things are just Bombing Campaigns. Trumpolini wants to win a war with no casualties, where only the other guys get killed. Problem is, simply destroying property and killing mostly civilians doesn't win anything. You have to actually take over the machinery of state and run the place, and that takes people. No matter how long they bomb they can't win. They'll flatten Tehran, but that just makes it harder for anyone to govern the country. For the place to become a going concern again, the destroyed infrastructure will need to be rebuilt, and that will be even more expensive and time consuming than the bombing campaign. It's ridiculous.

Last post by K-Dog - Mar 15, 2026, 08:58 PMYou don't think that they would know all the port facilities on the south side of the gulf will go up in flames? People with any brains have been able to figure out that hitting tankers is unnecessary if you hit Ras Tanura with a few missiles. I can't believe I am the only one who has figured this out. The oil execs would know the risks. But you may have a point. Trump's ears hear the words he wants to hear, and sometimes that does not match what was said.

You sure about that? Remember, right after Vz Trumpolini met with Oil CEOs and they told him they were not interested in developing it. I could easily see one of them saying "It would be a different story of course if Iranian or Saudi Oil flow was interrupted by a war with Israel." Then HRH Trump calls up Bibi on the hot line and suggests he deep six the Ayatollah.

This guy saved his dog from cancer by creating a mRNA vaccine using ChatGPT
When veterinary chemotherapy failed to stop Rosie – his rescue dog – from succumbing to aggressive mast cell cancer, Paul Conyngham didn’t just grieve quietly. He instead opened ChatGPT and used it much better than you and I do.

Horror! Trump's Comments about Oil Price Rise Is Starting to Freak Out Oil Industry Executives!
Politico reports that oil industry executives are freaking out about Trump’s remarks about rising oil prices being a boon to America. Without realizing it, Trump has pulled back the curtain to point at one of his many powerful donors — the fossil fuel industry — with his politically stupid comments. Basically, the oil industry wants to keep up what they have been doing to America since the Arab Oil Embargo of the early 70’s: reap huge profits by gouging Americans at the fuel pump. But they don’t want all the dummies in the public to put two and two together.
Anyone who does not know the reason for this warr was to raise oil prices is an idiot.

Higher prices can stimulate oil business activities in Venezuela. This is classic Trump. When Trump fucks up he first blames other people and then repackages his defeat so that he can call it a win. Failure rebranded. Operation Epstein Fury mayhem solves many of Trump's troubles. He can repackage himself. No longer the convicted felon compulsive lying pedophile; Trump becomes the new Andrew Jackson.
Bringing with him a brand new trail of tears.
