Is that how you view people who get things woefully wrong? Would it apply to those who backed Trumsteinawitz to make murica grate again?
That would make sense considering that most Americans consider Israel their BFF in the middle east.
I don’t see how USA will suffer from higher oil prices give that it’s a net oil exporter. Any amount of suffering that consumers and manufacturers etc in USA experience will be offset be windfall profits that American oil companies will enjoy. The countries that will suffer are countries that are major net oil importers (Japan, most of Europe, India, etc)
Oil companies doing well, consumers hurting, inflation in all downstream industries that use oil, such as airlines, fertilizers/agriculture, transport etc.
Note as well that oil companies profit centers are mostly offshore, a lot of their windfall will not register in US corporate taxes.
Not a difficult concept to grasp.
Those European countries have a high Islamic population within their borders, by participating in this war it could spark terrorist attacks within their borders and other problems, but at the same time they need that straight open, Japan has no Muslims but they probably hoping this resolves itself they dont want problems, I wonder what they gonna do if they start running out of oil though
Former White House energy adviser, Bob McNally: There are no policy solutions to address rising gas prices, if the Strait remains closed. The tools in the toolkit range from marginal, through symbolic, to deeply unwise. Escorts, strategic stock releases and gas tax holidays are all side shows. Only restoring flow through the Strait will work. All Iran has to do is keep up a demonstration of the ability to strike a ship, every day or two, for the crisis to continue.
Netanyahu has time for coffee but not for a crisis defense meeting!
Oil companies profits go up so do their share prices and dividends and so their shareholders will get richer and many of those shareholders are in the USA.
Honestly as long as he does not get seen by Iranian soldiers or police he will be okay. The average Iranian doesn’t have hostility towards American soldiers. In fact he could likely find some Iranians who would give him refuge in their homes.Whats gonna happen to this soldier, or is he a rambo
For the top 10% in the US own 90% of the US stock market, it will be a wash, or a net positive. For the rest, not so much, with higher costs for food, gas, utilities etc.
