*insert anime butterfly man meme here* Is this a ceasefire?...
Trump is a bit early this time. He was supposed to attack on Friday, after markets close. Is there a market holiday in the US that I'm not aware of? Or is he just trying to be slightly more unpredictable to keep Wall St. on its toes?
Anyway, I came across an interesting piece awhile ago that suggests that China, the supposed other big target of this oil blockade by the genius in the White House, may actually be responsible for keeping oil prices down for the rest of us. Go figure - https://www.channelnewsasia.com/commentary/iran-war-china-cuts-oil-imports-energy-prices-6109266

This is how they do ceasefires in the Middle East.

It is run by a cabal of wealthy pedophiles and religious zealots.

Everyone that believes this issue will be resolved any time soon are on some serious drugs.
The opening of the straight assumes the US backs down and offer reparations or deploying 500k ground troops to forcefully open the straight, now if you believe any of this happening you must be the most optimistic person in this planet or the most delusional.
Btw we are completely ignoring Israel actions here because even if the US reach an agreement with Iran, Israel could be the next day bombing Iran.

Looks like Hormouz isn't opening anytime soon. I think we're going to be up shit creek here in NZ because the government isn't taking sufficient steps to reduce petrol/diesel use and we rely on middle east crude refined in Asia.
On a side note I put my money where my mouth was and bought calls on oil futures on market open this week, so I expect my skepticism of DJT's peace making ability to pay off.

I'm in Australia. Albo did okay trying to shore up deals with Asia, but the home plan appears to be 'assume it will get better and avoid discussing the possibility it won't'.

I mean what more can we do? Short of building a bunch of tankers, starting back up the merchent navy and doing a deal with Iran to let our ships through. The oil we used to get is just gone yeah we can try and get it from other places but we are competeing with the rest of the world

We should have already implemented rationing and started preparing our social systems for a potential oil shock. If this does not improve soon, it will reach points where shipping food and farming becomes a difficult proposition. Long term we will be fine because the pivot away from the ME has already begun, but we could do much more to prepare for the potential of this war continuing.

Did you know we actually already had a deal to acquire subs? We should have kept that deal and not signed up to a multi billion dollar deal for a product we might not even see in total secrecy. Impossible to defend this one if you acknowledge our prior deal with France. It was corruption, and scomore sold us out.
