Just say Israel. No need to be vague.

Congratulations on receiving the “Israel must be mentioned in a negative light in every Reddit post Award” for this thread 🎉🎉🍾🍾🎊🎊🥳

[-]

More_Dependent742@reddit

No No, you misunderstand, Israel would be the first to tell the world that they're just the good guys, doing good guy things for the sake of an ungrateful world who just isn't as smart as they are.

So how could that comment have been negative unless you yourself disagree with Israel's actions?

[-]

HabitualK@reddit

I called out a commenter who brought up Israel in a thread that had nothing to do with them, and was clearly a low blow comment, which is the norm on Reddit.

You then responded with the exact same tactic.

My god this place is a cesspool.

[-]

HydrogenatedWetWater@reddit

Israel should be brought up and ridiculed in every interaction between conscious matter and they deserve far worse than that.

Besides this IS related to Israel since their just the little bitch America uses as a scape goat to commit crimes against humanity.

[-]

Oh so that little girl i watched getting blown up by an Israeli airstrike on an encampment of displaced Palestinians on the timeline this morning (and every other morning) was just a result of existing in an echo chamber? Fuck off

[-]

HabitualK@reddit

Based on the lens you are viewing it through, ya echo chamber.

It goes deeper than just Israel is bombing children, but your brain isn’t nuanced enough to realize that and just runs on emotions. I get it, the death of any child is a tragedy. But it hasn’t happened in the vacuum you have been lead to believe.

Agree to disagree sir!

Something is up with these talks. Not much news. Trump not proclaiming himself a hero. Originally the US was worried about sending Vance for his safety but now it’s the best choice…false flag in Pakistan, troops in place?

[-]

It’ll be hilarious if Trump sacrifices JD in a false flag, and . . . no one cares. At all. Not even Erika Kirk.

It would solve a few of his problems.

Better than a false flag against regular citizens. Maybe he has a grudge against Kushner too, in-laws ya know haha.

Vance is on the team that runs Trump.

But if JD gets lost somewhere in Pakistan, Mike Johnson will be first in line to be president when Trump keels over… oh dear.

Fuck that’s how we get Stephen Miller as president.

[-]

InfiniteCalico@reddit

Honestly I have thoughts about him going to a location in range of their missiles, but I do think they're pragmatic enough to understand the consequences of actions like that and as much as I may get a brief sense of vindication if any of my thoughts come to pass the horror that follows would be something I rather not witness in my lifetime.

[-]

wolacouska@reddit

America is the only people the routinely assassinate leaders in the middle of negotiations.

ThePlatypusOfDespair@reddit

That's just blatantly untrue, Israel does it as well. And I think Russia has tried.

[-]

hyldemarv@reddit

“Their” being Israel or ?

[-]

InfiniteCalico@reddit

No. Vance is going/is in Pakistan which is in range of Iran's weapon systems.

[-]

hasan_pikergayAF@reddit

Smart comment.

[-]

Minimum-Paint-9649@reddit

Seems like they are designed to fail. JD gets the blame, Trump forgets about it and therefore so does American media. Straights stay choked and the world slowly starves. Destabilization general breakdown become the final opportunity for capital.

[-]

R6ckStar@reddit

The strait being under Iranian control won't mean it will stay close forever, it just means countries would have to make deals with Iran.

I can see then try to use the strait to have more international pressure over Israel, but they want to get money too, specially to repair and rebuild their country.

[-]

here-i-am-now@reddit

It can take up to 15,000 of these oil truck loads to fill 1 cargo ship

[-]

holdthejuiceplease@reddit

Is that for real

[-]

Sea_Scientist_8367@reddit

Easily feasible. Depends on the ship and the truck capacities of course, each have a variety of sizes/capacities/usecases.

Long Range (LR) class ships are the most common in the global tanker fleet [...]. An LR1 tanker can carry between 345,000 barrels and 615,000 barrels of gasoline (14.5-25.8 million gallons) or between 310,000 barrels and 550,000 barrels of light sweet crude oil.

source

An oil barrel is 42 US Gallons. An tanker trucks range from 1,000 gallons (23 Barrels) on the smaller side to about 12,000 gallons (~276 barrels) for the larger single semi-trailer tankers.

At 23 barrels on the small side, that's 15,000 trucks to fill the smaller LR1 ships with 345,000 barrel capacity, and close to 30,000 for the larger ones (and there are even bigger ships with significantly larger capacity than that, LR's are just the most common. If the trucks have 10,000gal (230 barrel) capacity, that's ~1,500 to ~3,000 trucks to fill up an LR1 ship.

[-]

BernieJanders@reddit

…uh 2,000,000 barrels at $100/barrel is worth $200,000,000 not billions

[-]

Sea_Scientist_8367@reddit

Good catch, fixed

[-]

arb1698@reddit

Yup a lot of people don't realize just how much oil one ship can hold.

[-]

and alot of diesel wasted by these trucks to transport...fuel

It means Iraq needs money and has resorted to exporting oil via truck.

thesky_watchesyou@reddit

Many thanks

US has been stealing Syrian oil for about a decade now. If those tankers are headed into Iraq, I gather it's more of the same.

Yep. I was sitting in the smokepit, drinking my morning coffee, killin my lungs, and I hear a plooop and feel a splash of hot coffee. Look we d down and there is fuckin sand in it. Dead center about, sorta star shaped. Then it started raining mud lmao we all hid inside. Same storm flooded a base in Kuwait with mud rain.

[-]

FullstackSensei@reddit

The iraqi ministry of oil is exporting oil through Syria.

The tankers are 40k liter, or about 251 barrels each. The iraqi government is/was trying to export 1M barrels/day using these trucks, or about 4k trucks/day.

Since the border crossing isn't prepared for such large volume of trucks, lines are getting long.

[-]

It's AI. Too uniform (same design, same angle), too clean, why are these light poles so tall?

[-]

cyanescens_burn@reddit

Yeah I was wondering about that too.

We need to be really careful to confirm any images coming out in relation to that war and oil/fertilizer issues. AI is just too good right now, and there’s loads of people dedicated to skewing perceptions on things.

Odd-Priority3318@reddit

Reminds me of the book by Robert baer when Iraq was doing this with one of the Kurdish ( barzani?) Families to sell their oil. Allegedly the leaks left a dirt.road looking paved.
