Trumps Inexcusable Unpreparedness for the Iranian Oil Crisis
Donald Trump, having plunged the country into a potentially disastrous war, with no clear rationale or exit plan, is flailing around for ways to mitigate its economic consequences.
How the War With Iran Will Trigger a Global Financial Crisis
Yanis Varoufakis says that even if the war in Iran ends soon, which it likely will not , the economic consequences will be devastating and prolonged.
'You won't have to go to Bangladesh to see who suffers."
This Trump will not get out of. Teflon Trump has done himself in. Trump in a single heartbeat has enraged the rest of the world. The cost of being an American is about to double and it was not all that cheap to begin with. Both domestically and internationally Trump has cooked his own goose.
Trump has always admired Mussolini. Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Claretta Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans on April 28 in the village of Giulino di Mezzegra. Their bodies were loaded into a van and driven to Milan, arriving in the early hours of the next morning. The bodies were dumped in the square where the Nazis had executed 15 partisans a year prior. A massive, angry crowd gathered. The bodies were kicked, beaten, spat upon, and shot multiple times. To stop the crowd from completely obliterating the remains and to ensure everyone could see that the Dictator was truly dead, the bodies were hoisted upside down from the girder of a Standard Oil gas station.
History will repeat.

What we have is a modern siege. Once upon a time when a warlike state invaded another nation for plunder and raw materials they could only stay for a period of time dictated by the agricultural cycle. In ancient times the majority of soldiers were peasant farmers. An army that stayed afield too long risked total collapse of the food supply at home. The harvest and sowing seasons could not be ignored.
This relates, if the shutdown lasts into April the economic hit will shift from short term shock to systemic collapse. Oil is the lifeblood of modernity.
It is a war for sure. All Iran has to do is wait for Trump to be ripped apart by his own people since Trump is not man enough to go Japanese. There is no way Trump can spin his murderous blunder into a win. This is Trump's Waterloo.

Chris Hedges: Israel’s Assassination of Memory
As Israel ticks off its list of Nazi-like atrocities against the Palestinians, including mass starvation, it prepares for yet another – the demolition of Gaza City, one of the oldest cities on Earth. Heavy engineering equipment and gigantic armored bulldozers are tearing down hundreds of heavily damaged buildings. Cement trucks are churning out concrete to fill tunnels. Israeli tanks and fighter jets pummel neighborhoods to drive Palestinians who remain in the ruins of the city to the south.

Iran hits key UAE oil port and Dubai airport
The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) biggest port and oil storage facility, Fujairah, and Dubai's international airport have come under further drone attacks as Iran continues to target Gulf transport and oil infrastructure.
Total failure. Iran can hold the whole world hostage and there is nothing Trump can do about it except take his lumps.
The honorable thing to do would be for Trump to go Japanese.

Iran Strikes US Fifth Fleet Base – Bahrain Erupts in Uprising & Saudi Forces Move to Crush Dissent
The Islamic Republic has targeted vital US military infrastructure bases in Persian Gulf nations, the worst hit being Bahrain. Simultaneously, the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has revived the predominantly Shia island’s 2011 revolutionary fervor.
Everybody is lining up to make a deal with Trump.

Who would have thought that an American President would pour gasoline on collapse.
And that the American people would do nothing and let Satan have his way.

Cuba survived peak oil back in 2006 or so, it shouldn't be hard to get through it again.

Cuba’s power grid collapses after weeks of US oil blockade
Havana — Cuba’s electrical grid suffered a total collapse across the entire island on Monday, the country’s power operator said, marking the latest nationwide blackout in recent years, and the first since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to the island of roughly 10 million people. Efforts are underway to restore power across the country, the state-owned operator said, adding that no faults were detected in the electrical units operating at the time the grid collapsed.
Back to pre-industrial civilization for Cuba!
