Peak oil / Iran War Oil Issues
Last post by RE - Mar 30, 2026, 12:04 PMQuote from: K-Dog on Mar 30, 2026, 11:47 AMTaking out the desalination plants would be effective.

Targeting desalinization plants is a war crime, besides which if they hit the Iranian ones, the Iranians will hit the Saudi, Omani, Kuwaiti & UAE ones. No oil at all would flow since all the oil workers would be dying of thirst after about a week.

Peak oil / Iran War Oil Issues

Is Trump About To Fall Into Iran’s Trap?
Iran is trying to lure the U.S. into a ground war, knowing prolonged involvement could force Washington into a more favorable deal for Tehran. The Houthis’ escalation is meant to trigger U.S. military intervention by endangering global oil flows. Dual chokepoint disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb could cripple up to ~45% of global oil supply, potentially sending prices toward $150–$200+ and pressuring the global economy.
About to? Well, first he still does have to actually get the Jarheads through the straight before they can even make the attempt to take the island. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of tankers loaded with Oil floating around in the Gulf. All the Iranians need to do is sink a couple, then set the oil slick on fire. This I suspect is what they mean by setting the troops on fire.

I do not agree with his analysis. Iran does not want to lose Iranians just to get Americans. As strategy keeping an enemy out of your borders is a good idea. Iran has defensive weapons to keep the invasion from happening. Missiles and drones. They will use them before they kill their young men. Iran cares about life more than whoever wrote this article does. The author has a western warbucks attitude.

Trump is weighing all options on Iran's Kharg Island
President Trump says that negotiations with Iran are going well, and that Tehran "out of a sign of respect" will allow 20 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. However, he said, in comments made to reporters , "you never know with Iran. We negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up."
"Take the Oil"? How?
First off, even if the Jarheads manage to storm the cliffs without being massacred, the Iranians have no doubt already booby-trapped all the storage tanks and will blow up everything themselves before they let them take the oill there. 2nd, the amount stored there is only enough to fill a few tankers and needs to be constantly replenished from oil still underground inside Iran. 3rd, even if they could get that oil, they still couldn't ship it out until they get control of the entire north coast where the IRGC has their missiles and boat and submersible launch points.
Trumpolini's strategic thought process never got past playing Cowboys & Indians at Kindergarten recess. He has now upped the deployment to around 50,000 while still maintaining he doesn'tt plan to use them. WTF believes that? Not the Iranians, that's for sure. Meanwhile, the IRGC has around 180,000 active troops dug in on home soil. Even if all the Jarheads are Rambo & Dutch, they're not gonna mow them all down in a 2 hour movie. It would take months at best, and by the time it was over all that would be left of the infrastructure would be rubble. All the pumping facilities would need to be rebuilt, which would take years.
The stupidity on display here is breathtaking.

Trump Fascism / Raw aggresion, the war report
Last post by K-Dog - Mar 30, 2026, 11:01 AMThe dementia screams for article 25. The idiot ignores what Iran demonstrates to him. Kharg Island only means dead Americans. The best you could say is Trump tries to mislead. But if he does, he only misleads himself.

Sri Lanka braces for new economic crisis as war on Iran continues
For many Sri Lankans, the fuel shortage triggered by the war carries echoes of the 2022 economic crisis – with a twist.
Trump, since he can't have 14 year old girls anymore watches a custom made 3 minute highlight video of things blowing up in Iran daily. He does this every day to get hard. Hard if only in his mind. This is how Trump gets his rocks off now. And since all Trump watches is his custom war porn, he is not well informed. Trump watches nothing else, for if he did he would not have his war porn. Think about it. Trump is in more of a fantasy land now than Hitler was in his final days in the Berlin bunker.

JPM Warns of Vulnerability That Could Add $20 to Oil Price
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have now formally joined the escalating Middle East conflict. “While their involvement is not yet decisive, it introduces a second maritime pressure point in the Red Sea, alongside the Strait of Hormuz, the conflict now extends into the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb.
Now all they need to do is blow up an LNG tanker in the Suez Canal. They can get the price up over $200.

War / Milestones on the road to doom
Last post by RE - Mar 29, 2026, 11:08 PMQuote from: TDoS on Mar 29, 2026, 06:29 PMToo bad the Americans didn't express that intent during the War of 1948 very much. It certainly showed up through time though, and worked well, Israel now not the underdog but the military super power in the region,, with some help from its friends.
Israel didn't become a military juggernaut in a vacuum, the investment capital to do that came entirely from Amerikan, Brit, Swiss & (yes) German multinational banks, primarily the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Lloyds, the BoE and the SNB. This money began flowing in shortly after the Brits handed over Palestine to the new Israeli goobermint, which had its roots in the Irgun and the political parties that grew out of it. https://www.lycoming.edu/schemata/pdfs/sellers.pdf
Why were these banks so keen on lending gobs of money to a violent bunch of terrorists who right from the beginning were blowing up hotels and killing as many Arabs as they could? It's not like they had a whole lot of collateral or high paying jobs. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, despite the fact we're not privy to the minutes of the meetings prior to 1948. Generally speaking, such things only become apparent in retrospect.
If you're going to misread history and draw faulty conclusions, it would be helpful if you actually knew the history a little better. You might at least watch Exodus for the sanitized propaganda version anyhow.

Last post by K-Dog - Mar 29, 2026, 07:08 PMQuoteThe internet has been a disaster for the truth, but wonderous for finding any opinion that agrees with one self, and presto! Proof! ----- As far as more articles, hey, this is the internet.
Ok then, rather than appeal again to the voluminous mountain of facts which like Trump you will dismiss. I'll tell you why going in this direction any further will get you in the cooler.
My father's father was a minister of a church. As you might guess I was raised in a slightly religious atmosphere. The church I attended as a child often had guest speakers. Ministers of churches from the heart of Africa with thick accents I could hardly understand. Skin as black as ink. There were also guest speakers from Israel. European and friendly, hardly different from Americans it seemed. I forgot what international conflict exposed the Zionist speakers as the racist bigots they are. But it happened, and after that it was only the black ministers from Africa with their thick accents that were invited to the church.
Jews are not in charge of Israel, Zionists are in charge, and while most Zionists are Jews, not all Jews are rabid racist Zionists. Most are not. And I have known that for more than fifty years. The passing decades have only confirmed the facts, in particular the last three years have. So don't push your luck. You won't have any.
