Trump created global fuel crisis

My high school buddy and I have been cancelling out each other's votes for years. He has recently moved to rural/woodsyNew Hampshire from suburban Virginia. I have been teasing him about relying on renewable energy by burning fire wood in the winter.

Yup. Donny owns this one fair and square.

And in the heartland of America, Upstate Missouri:
Gas is $5.049 gallon this morning.
I have rescued horse pulled farm equipment and am restoring to working condition.
Using an electric welder though.

Airlines having trouble obtaining jet fuel.
Philippines goes to 4 day work week to preserve fuel.
Sri Lanka government sets rules to avoid crisis.
Asian countries looking for way to charter vessels for diesel fuel
On and on and on....
Just the beginning if the Iran stalemate continues.


Should Trump bear all the blame ? Apparently he didn't consult our Allies before starting this course of action. His advisors should have known the potential problem with the Strait, and oil blockage. Many countries have gone to using their oil reserves and most only have a 30 day emergency supply.

Then you admit Trump is a weak man.

He’s just the asshole who gets caught ringing the doorbell and running away?

Trump stopped the true source of evil in the world for the last 50 years and stopped them from getting a nuclear weapon and the ability to shut off oil supplies when that evil had a nuclear weapon to hold the whole world hostage with two weapons. Originally Posted by farmstud60

There is no evidence that Iran currently has, or has ever had, an actual nuclear weapon. However, after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, Iran immediately restarted enrichment activities, and at the start of this war had (and still has) approximately 440 kg of uranium enriched to 60%. The U.N. estimates that this is enough for 10 nuclear bombs if enriched further to 90%. From 2015 to 2018, when the JCPOA was in effect, Iran was limited to 202 kg of uranium enriched to 3.67%.

So the sole reason Iran is as close as it is to any nuclear capability is Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA. Now, the administration is saying that return to the status quo ante would be a "victory." But in truth, Iran is demanding more - a reduction in sanctions, reparations and freeing up of cash, and they will hardly agree to get rid of the highly enriched uranium (HEU) that they've built up over the past eight years without some further concession by the US/Israel.

I've never understood why Trump's supporters think success means fixing (if it can even be called that) a problem of his own making.

How long until Trump starts calling this the "ninth" war he has ended and adds it to the list of specious reasons he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Yeah, when it comes to Israel.

The Climate Solutions Lab at Brown University calculates that U.S. consumers have paid an extra 19.67 billion dollars in extra gasoline costs since the start of the Iranian conflict started by Trump. 16.5 billion in extra Diesel costs. That’s as of today.

We’re all getting screwed over by the dicktatorial actions of Trump and his Republican cult in Congress.

It’s a HUGE FUCKING DEAL!

Moped? I put 170.00 in my tank yesterday alone...

Hmmmm, what did he say during his campaign?.

Never mind!

Trump created this because he wants to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.


But what was he thinking......that he just needs to bomb them and they will stop and hand the uranium over ? Now he had to put on a blockade and still threatens to bomb them some more.


He didn't learn anything with his flight to North Korea and meeting Kim.


He was a laughing stock after that. Now......he is a buffoon.
