Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

[scorpion]

It's a safe bet for damnation.
You claim to recognise the world for how it is, but don't recognise this spiritual reality.

Investing in what mr Orthodox?

I know you mean money and not faith so please share it with us could you?

This "holier-than-thou" crap needs to stop. Take it to another thread in the Orthodox forum or to PMs.

No more sniping at each other. Keep the discussion here focused broadly on Iran/Israel, or else I'm going to start handing out thread bans and/or warning points.

Tanker on fire in the Persian Gulf



Update:
It's still early on, so the details may change.
Two tankers are on fire following an alleged Iranian naval drone attack off the coast of Iraq.

I asked to delete my comment for that reason thank you, Choppa isn't the only one on this forum who went to the field.

I simply said the value of defense stocks go up in war time. I have plenty to repent for but my stock portfolio isn't one of them and I'm certainly not gonna take chastisement from Internet folks.

Why do you think I dont know my faith? Because I made a comment purely about financial reality?

Happy to discuss but we probably need to keep it on another thread. Why don't you start one?

Mods please move this to another more another thread...

When I arrived in the US last year gas prices were around $3 per gallon, then after Maduro was kidnapped and US got control of Venezuelan oil it dropped to about +-$2.50 per gallon, now the gas price is $3.29 per gallon, I could fill up my petrol tank in my car for $35 now its just over $40 to fill my tank, sure its a slight increase but not that catastrophic, in South Africa I was paying around $84 to fill up so still way cheaper than that (half the price)

Plus, if you're overly consumed with fuel prices in the first place (saving $0.20 at the pump), unless your direct business is dependent on them, you're doing something wrong to begin with.

Correction, I just saw shell petrol station have increased the fuel to $3.50 now, but still not a very big deal, its not really gonna put a dent on the average American person expenses

It's not like the price is going to continue up as the crisis deepens.

Chinese vessels continue to get through the Strait.




Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi , FM of Oman, is going to upset Trump even more.
“real objective of the war” is to “weaken Iran, reshape the region, "
Oman will not join the “Board of Peace”.
U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran are part of a “dangerous chain of violations”.
“There is a broader plan targeting the region".

You guys do know that they put crap in your fuel so it only lasts a couple of months right? Right..

Am I on Reddit?

Imagine the shite they put in to break the fuel pumps on your leased cars that soon will be unleasable?

Good luck hoarding all that shit.

It shouldnt go up at all for Americans in my opinion because USA has its own oil, we get from Canada, Venezuela etc, maybe for the rest of the world its gonna go up but I cant understand why it MUST go up here too

Supply and demand, prices are based on a global market. But it will go up less in the USA v. Europe, where Europe is completely dependent on imports.

Also, the USA has a refinery shortage.

That's how markets operate, especially now in a globally connected world where there is no geographic or other insulation between them. There is effectively only one global market for petroleum and the prices set there affect everywhere.

They MUST go up because the world is monetized and money is the only agreed upon value of any kind and certainly not any moral belief or practical implication that the oil being extracted next to me in America should be priced to benefit Americans.

LOL, Borzi is correct.

There is some international and local differences but yeah generally you're on point.

Most of the world runs on diesel and large parts of that refining capacity are built for heavy crude and refined out of Baytown/Mont Belleview/Baton Rouge.

Never mind LNG ....

Based on the way energy traders move product scarcity in other areas will result in net price rising as demand goes up.

Financial Times: US-Israeli actions alienate shocked anti-government protesters. Anti-government sociologist: “Fear of Iran’s destruction is increasingly uniting people as they worry about the consequences of such a large-scale conflict,”




FT, again: "Russia rakes in $150 million a day in extra revenue from surging oil prices.




Ooof!
