Trump

I guess I figured that with the refineries right there you'd be somewhat insulated from the normal jiggery-pokery of gas prices. Obviously, the current goings on are not "normal", as such.

Good job, Donald, you great carrot fuckhead.

The simple fact is that the oil companies are future-proofing against future supply issues by hitting the price now. All those refinieries and oil storage depots they own are pretty much brim full with supply paid for at the lower oil retail prices before Trump kicked all this shit off.

If they buy oil from the oil-fields now the increased price will start to have an impact on them in about a month. So the price rises now are a piss-take.

It always amazed me that there isn't a southern overland pipeline in Saudi so that the tankers can fill at Jeddah and use the Red Sea rather than the Straits of Hormuz. Of course, you still have to get past the Houthis and Somalis on that route, which are another two sets of extremely disaffected people that Trump likes to bomb.

It's okay though. I'm sure Venezuelan oil suddenly has a very tempting price point so that he can make a fuck-tonne of money out of it.

S.A. usually one of the less expensive cities, but that graph is not too dissimilar to here. Was $2.40, this morning $3.00, jumped to $3.20 while I was trying to pay (the bastards!).

The way this cunt is carrying on with his outbursts on social media it really needs Starmer to withdraw permission for any use of British air bases by US troops and also just to tell him to specifically get fucked.

He seems to have forgotten that ww1 didn’t start in 1917, or ww2 when pearl harbour got attacked. I suppose that’s what bone spurs in the brain will do.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh, he hasn't forgotten. It's just in Trump land all the favours go in one direction. To him. And if you don't do it quicky enough, or even have the temerity to question him, he has a fucking tantrum.

It's like dealing with a baby and running out of dummies.

Saying the UK is seeking to join the war after its won. Fuck off you moron, we don't want to join your illegal war which will cause issues for years to come. We just have to mobilise to protect our interests due to your negligence.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The UK has been "unhelpful" in the eyes of Trump.

Well, fucking good. Your little conflict is a fucking great shit all over the laws of war, done purely because, for all your grand threats, you couldn't keep the other cunt Netanyahu under control. Having no part of that is the fucking right thing to do.

Yeah I’d wear that as a badge of honor tbh

Most of this is obvious, but interesting nonetheless

I've read something by an Israeli journalist that I have not seen being reported at all so I suspect it is false, but basically his report says that many US bases in the the Middle-East, in places like Qatar and Bahrain, have been completely destroyed by Iranian missiles.

I can't find anything to substantiate that. The bases have been attacked, but by and large the defence system has worked in destroying anything inbound.

God Mode, Gas Prices, and the Gathering Recession

Trump and Hegseth are treating war like a video game while oil surges, the labor market weakens, allies scramble, and the global bill keeps climbing.

In a shock to pretty much nobody, Iran appoint Khamenei's son as supreme leader. So they are definitely going down the moderation and unconditional surrender route.
