you were the one that said Iran should attack infrastructure. And now you cry when I suggest the US could do the same to much more devastating effects.
You are mixing things up and should best leave this thread because your rhetoric isn’t clicking here. You were the one claiming that U.S. could go after Kharg island, which I said then iran would escalate to match US war crimes. Which iran said they would do. You also said U.S. can go after “bridges, dams, power plants” as part of target banks after I said many of the military targets were already hit (over 8000+ targets the west likes to boast).
So escalation is currently being done by the US including murdering school children as part of their target bank.
It’s time for everyone to tone down the rhetoric . the American public does not support this war.
That’s because they are being led by a pedophile president. Hard to want to storm into battle in support of narcissistic sociopath
. The shortfall of 13 mbpd will cause short term pain but new oilfields in Libya will add 6.4 mbpd by end of March
lol they didn’t even bump out 1.3MBPD in Feb, but suddenly going to jump by 4x in a month? Okay man whatever you say.
and US shale producers will happily bring more more production online in four weeks at 100$ a barrel why wouldn't they? Then the Russians will fill the remaining shortfall. The main issue is Qatari LNG, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh will suffer and Singapore, S Korea and Taiwan will be impacted.
You are out of your depth here. And can’t understand this is much more than just a barrels per day problem. Yes there is also the LNG problem. But 35% of the worlds fertilizer also goes thru the strait for starters. Global supply chains don’t do well to sudden shocks especially when they are trying to combat inflationary and stagflations conditions in their respective economies.
And the west already said they would release 400M barrels but the problem the actual FLOW RATE comes out to about 2MBPD released over months….not nearly enough to offset a 20MBPD shock loss.
It isn’t as simple as turning on the faucet and making up the difference in a matter of weeks as you make it out to be. And escorting tankers thru the strait isn’t a solution either because in the 1980s Tanker Wars US was escorting less than 5 tankers a day vs the 300 ships that need to pass.
Again this is an entire mess of the President’s own doing. He continues to go up the escalation ladder and thinks this is like negotiating a trade deal or real estate deal. He is out of his league and the world is now suffering. Iranians have been suffering for decades because of US sanctions, now the world gets to start taking part courtesy of Dementia Donald
