US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

At this moment in time

All we have to do is wait, the U.S has just become too stupid

It's idiot electorate

Zionist control

Have finally led them towards the edge of a cliff


Nah.

The US produces roughly two-thirds of the petroleum it consumes domestically. Of the crude oil it imports, nearly 62% comes from Canada.

Now let's look at US natural gas.

The US actually produces considerably more natural gas than it consumes domestically. It still imports a relatively small amount, but almost all of those imports come from Canada.

The small amount it imports comes overwhelmingly from one country: Canada, which supplied approximately 99.7% of US natural-gas imports in 2025.

So, like I said earlier, the conspiracy theorists are just out there selling their books with all those doom-and-gloom predictions.
 
Here's a question for everyone to ponder.

What if Oman decided to sell its Musandam region to the United States, just as it sold Gwadar to Pakistan in 1958? What would that do to the strategic balance around the Strait of Hormuz?

Just wait and watch
 
The US is a $32T economy, with strong growth and productivity, the most innovative economy on the planet, near record high stocks, and the deepest most efficient capital markets in the world with market capitalization over $80T.

People saying the US economy is in trouble are wishcasting.
Current US deficit of nearly $40T and a deficit projected to be $2.1T.
 
At the domestic level, gasoline and #2 diesel prices continue to rise. Gasoline is up $0.13 from this time a week ago. It could be in expectation of a heavy end of summer driving season with the Labor Day holiday being the unofficial end of summer.

Or, it could be what the oil industry executives have been warning us about for a few months now.

The fall harvest is about 6-8 weeks away.

Also, refineries have been running at full production and regular maintenance being delayed.

Surprised a refinery hasn't blown up yet.
