Well if the price goes up then it becomes feasible to extract it. Same with the oil the US has at home. They could also extract it if the price gets too high, the reason they aren’t doing so now is because the Middle East oil is cheaper (well, WAS cheaper).
So this makes me think. Did they attack Venezuela first to get access to the oil there and prevent a price spike from happening when they attacked Iran? Or am I giving the current regime too much credit?
There’s going to be no real R&D anymore
I mean US scientists are starting to leave the country. The brain drain is only going to get worse.
What are they gonna use next? Pulverize? Disintegrate? Ram?
If he uses nukes it would be a hard line that most countries would be hard pressed to look past. If the US uses nukes in Iran then Russia will definitely use theirs in Ukraine and no European politician wants to be in the way of that fallout (literally and figuratively).
So is the military going to refuse “illegal orders” when he orders them to fire nukes?
Also if he does use nukes against Iran then Russia would definitely start using them against Ukraine. It will become a free for all.
Iran said they would allow ships from any country that expels US and Israel diplomats to go through.
White phosphorus is pyrophoric which means it ignites in contact with air and it’s quite difficult to put out. It’s also very sticky and will adhere to clothes and skin. It is highly toxic and causes burns on skin contact. Smoke and fumes that result from burning white phosphorus are also highly toxic and can lead to organ failure. Chronic exposure can cause phossy jaw which is the necrosis of the jaw bones which is disfiguring, can lead to malnutrition if treated (patients won’t be able to eat properly) and can lead to death if untreated.
It’s messed up shit.
Too bad the current goon in charge has killed all renewable projects in the US because he hates windmills.
Is he gonna turn Iran into the US’ Ukraine?
Hasn’t Iran been under embargo for decades now? They must produce most of their stuff locally since it would be hard for them to import it.
That’s how you create people with nothing to lose.
Well, duh. At this point can you really blame them?
They had a deal in place to not make a nuke, then Trump comes in and uses the deal as toilet paper. After getting rid of the deal the US bombs your nuclear facilities with no regards for danger of contamination or if they are civilian or military in nature. Then you start negotiations with them and during the negotiations you fucking bomb their leadership and kill them, committing perfidy basically. Yeah at this point they see getting nukes as the only actual deterrent they have left.

His net approval rating is at 38%. MAGA is fine with him no matter what.
You already have taxation without representation. Felons pay taxes but don’t get to vote. The citizens of American territories also pay taxes but do not get representatives.
So Israel and the US attacked Iran. Iran then fired back, the UK now is dogpiling Iran because they are firing back?
That won’t happen.
He stopped the 100 years war, the 30 year war, the 7th year war, the great war(there was never a greater war) and world War Two. The greatest war stopping force that ever was.
If Republicans are against it then why isn’t Congress stopping him?
Funny enough this is what may fuck Trump over big time. Americans have been spoiled by their super low gas prices so the sudden increase is a shock nd he can’t blame it on Biden or his other usual go tos.
