It is not just Energy and it is not just Oil.  Human behavior is involved.
And stupidity will be dealt with accordingly.

US and Israel carrying out strikes against Iran

• Explosions have been reported in multiple Iranian cities including the capital Tehran after Israel and the United States launched strikes Saturday morning.  • US President Donald Trump described the military campaign as “massive and ongoing,” and intended to prevent Iran from putting US lives at risk. He said Iran had been working to rebuild its nuclear program after a June US bombing run on its nuclear facilities.


EZ way to start the war without going to CONgress.  All Trumpolini has to do is sic the Israeli Attack Dog on Iran with a phone call.  They are always happy to oblige and target a few more Towel Head schools and hospitals.

What kind of response will the Ayatollah come up with?  How long will this one go on?  How high can they drive up the price of oil?

Good question. Personal answer? WHO CARES!!!! EVs FOR EVERYONE!

15k at almost the first anniversary of el cheapo EV. Two tire rotations (free) , and perhaps half a gallon of windshield washing fluid ($2).

Down with oil! GO EV!

Not to mention AI has no emotions nor does it feel pain, bleed or die.  To AI, Global Themonuclear War is just a more complicated version of Tic Tac Toe.  Shall We Play a Game?

Trump's sycophantic lackeys are not smart enough to get the job done by themselves.  You can be sure MAGA will use AI to inflict their self-serving wars on the rest of us.  As Trump crawls to I ran.

In 95% of War Games, AI Models Go Nuclear

Study finds bots escalate conflicts, rarely choosing surrender or restraint.



Trump is going to get the Skynet going on.

The young and dumb fight wars.  The young and dumb by the time they are old enough to fight in wars may actually have great knowledge and capability.  The fact remains they lack wisdom.  Wisdom is not the same thing.  There is no breadth of experience in the young.

AI will always be young and dumb.  Wisdom requires, besides the breath of life, a lifetime of learning which includes making many mistakes.  Without mistakes there can be no wisdom.  Only with extensive experience can a stratospheric assessment of a landscape be made that considers what simple logic cannot.

A Dozen US F-22 Stealth Jets Land In Israel As Iran Tensions Soar

At least 12 US F-22 fighter jets landed at an Israeli air base in the south of the country, connected with the ongoing Pentagon build-up threatening anti-Tehran action.


Another of Trump's Murderous distractions as Zion's mercenary.

QuoteAs long as mankind shall continue to bestow more liberal applause on their destroyers than on their benefactors, the thirst of military glory will ever be the vice of the most exalted characters.

Trump is in trouble and needs to distract America.  He causes trouble to prevent trouble for himself.

Dying empires rely on kinetic power when soft power wanes. The F-22s are sent because the U.S. can no longer simply "convince" the region by diplomacy or trade.   Trump has burned too many bridges to be anything more than a bully now.

The "Imperial Center" is fractured by a record $35 trillion debt because the rich do not pay taxes.  Their tax break breaks America.  Trump's answer to put a sales tax on average Americans is gutted by the Supreme Court's 6–3 ruling striking down the tariff sales tax.  Trump's putrid moral decay is exposed by 3 million pages of Epstein files which stink to high heaven.  The domestic dissatisfaction sparked by ICE's fatal shootings of white citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis has put a burr under many a butt.  Trumps gutted economy with job stagnation leaves millions without pride or prospects. 

To solve address these issues our illustrious orange leader looks outward.  Deploying 12 F-22 stealth jets to Israel to manufacture high-stakes military theater in the Middle East to force a domestic kumbaya that Trump can no longer get with his typical, but effective, simple bombastic bullshit.

To Whom Are Our Liars Lying; What Is The Point Of Their Lies?

The delusion lies with those, who take the doings of the Trump regime as anything more than an edifice built on lies and illusions.


"If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer."

And aimless wandering results.  Impotent opposition.
