Ice Age Farmer:
Everyone's focused on oil — but it's not just oil:- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) imports 80-90% of its food- Saudi Arabia, 80%- Kuwait, 95%With the Strait closed (or even "open" but with rates exploding 650%), the literal lifeline of these nations is cut off. And yes, with UAE/Saudi Arabia/Qatar stopping oil production, we are quickly entering an energy crisis that will have DRASTIC effects on food availability and pricing.Be prepared...
Those countries have zero military. They are useless. What they have is money due to Gas and Oil. And they will put pressure on Trump if things escalate.
Qatar I think had something similar not long ago. There was a blockade made by Trump to shake them for cash. And Saudi Arabia closed the border with Qatar.
What they say arabs from that region can´t accept is a shortage of milk. From all the food missing which could cause a riot. Milk is the one which always needs to be available in supermarket shelves. During that blockade Qataris wanted to buy cows. And take them to Qatar on airplanes. There supposedly they had to put the cows in warehouses with air conditionings for the cows to survive the heat. Might sound unbelievable but it´s true. I actually checked some cows to send there. And learned some things about cows. Anyway they managed to survive the blockade. Qatar has a really nice area called The Pearl. And a shopping mall made out of the finest materials available. A level of luxury not seen in many places.

The heat in GCC is unbearable in the summer. Dubai has the biggest shopping mall cause during summer you cant walk on the streets.
The logic behind who wins this war is flawed. One american life is worth 100 iranians. That´s the real question here. How many casualties can america sustain without caving to the public opinion pressure? When the videos of boxes with flags on top of it start leaking the perspective will change drastically. 1 american death would be too many. BTW 6 US soldiers dead is utter bullshit. CORONA ORANGE CRAP STYLE. Theres much more casualties. How long can the US army sustain casualties for Israel before some revolt start happening within ranks?
Mussolini was dragged in the streets of Rome. Cause he didnt realize Italy was losing WWII and he needed to cut a deal with Allies. Rome started to get bombed. Game over for Benito. It´s inside US that the tension will happen. Both Hegseth and Rubio seem completely dumbfounded on why this war is being fought over. Hegseth seemed to have gained some balance. But they know in their core this is all orange mongo shit. And Rubio/Vance can kiss the presidency ticket goodbye. Cause a mixed bathroom Obama 2.0 will follow Trump presidency. People are tired of wars. And crazy shit.
The other problem is if this escalates to some kind of intervention from Russia or China. China would send NK first. If any of those two get involved. Allies might win. But at what cost?
Anyway a lot of moving pieces. Israel should have fought this war alone. That´s their shit. Not US or EU business. But jews. Helas. Napoleon has good quotes on them.
