@FreeinTX@poa.st @gav@cawfee.club @caekislove@caekis.love @admin@detroitriotcity.com I get that you simp hardcore for goat fuckers and aren't paying close attention (let's be honest, you didn't know about the transit tracker site until you jumped into my mentions), but yes, plenty of people on fedi were insisting that Iran would defeat the US and it would be our Afghanistan moment, usually calling back to a wargame from the early 2000's showing a brutal US defeat.
Wait, so if the price of oil can be kept low because of market manipulation, could there also be upward pressure because of manipulation? 🤔 So maybe, just maybe, Iran ISN'T the end-all-be-all decider of oil prices, giving them much less leverage than you think.
You sound positively gleeful at the prospect of open borders Democrats gaining power.

@Myles@poa.st @caekislove@caekis.love @admin@detroitriotcity.com @FreeinTX@poa.st price manipulation is done by the strategic oil reserve, its explicit purpose, prices despite this are increased especial diesel, discussions are about this running out and long term damage to over used oil infrastuction and long term deficiencies in patroleum products (fertilizer, industrial lubricants, plastics as well(funnily enough increased japanese tofu prices cus of excessive packaging)) if we stopped seling oil and developed local production and extraction this wouldnt be an issue
