Like I said before, price increases are temporary. In the long term we'll see them go down. That is what everyone wants right? Lower gas prices?

You think prices are going to be back to pre-strike levels by say...Nov?

How much does a barrel cost?  Does $120 cover the materials, construction, and transportation of the barrel?  What about storage fees?  Tariffs?

Maybe $120 is too low.  You wanna make a real profit?  Shoot for the moon.  $1000 a barrel.  Make Jed Clampet a trillionaire!!!  :D

Oil is in most things affecting prices from tires to roofing...

It also makes some heavy black smoke when it burns..but that must look like $$$ signs to some...

Sooner.

We'll see.  That's 7 months away.

Sounds like, "troops home by Christmas" talk, but we'll see.

Its funny to me that after Venezuela and everything else, that people are still underestimating this guy and his strategies to rid the world of actual dictatorships. You all realize that hes not the only person making these decisions right? Secretary of Treasury is destroying their banking networks and sanctioning every aspect to their regimes. They are going to run out of money. They have lost just about everything. Their troops arent gonna fight when they dont get paid and many will turn on the regime. Cuba is being systematically dismantled right now as well. Its about to go down also.

The oil prices will drop to the lowest ever in decades imo because we will control/manipulate it all.

Stop underestimating the guy and just watch a master at work. Its bound time we finally got a real leader for once in a century..

Interesting how quick gas prices jump up and how slowly they fall...

Did Saddam's regime collapse after the monkey-pounding we gave him in GW1?

Did the Germans bomb England into submission during the Blitz?

I doubt you can change a regime without boots on the ground.

Without boots on the ground the best you could achieve would be to fragment them and turn them into a failed-state region of warlords sitting on the the choke-point of the most important energy route in the world.

But hey, good luck with your Special Military Operation.  Pottery Barn Rules.


Oh, next he is going want to lift sanctions on Russia so they can flood the market with blood-oil while he has the Gulf shut down.  He had a "perfect" call with Vlad.

We are not fighting with the same weapons and same "stratergy" we use to have. We are under a command that is much stronger than they've ever seen before. Weapons that are much stronger. Weapons we are using now that maybe werent allowed to use back then. We arent strangled by bureaucracy this time. We have different leaders in Saudi and Isreal is helping much more this time. Along with the fact that they've attacked all the other middle eastern countries that they are going to cave in on them with us. Isreal can put boots on the ground, along with other middle Eastern nations. You guys have us confused with prior leadership that was all incahoots with a NWO establishment, now we have leadership that isnt corrupted by them and their agenda and we are making power moves that our former beureocracy wouldnt allow. I think youll be quite surprised watching strong leadership in action not bound to the establishment agenda.

How would you feel about lifting sanctions on Russia to put more oil in the market while he has the Gulf shut down.  Are you OK with that?

IRG controls much economy, much of the YKH country. Not going to change the regime without boots on the ground. Blondy be a fool to put boots in the country.
If the YKH country was 10 days away from bomb, 2 weeks, wouldn't they have it?
Big problem is national debt. I do not see it going down.

Yep.  Some are getting through.

Quote
As of March 2026, daily ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has plummeted to between 2 and 13 vessels per day. This represents a 94% decline from normal levels due to an ongoing regional conflict and a de facto blockade by Iran.

So I think that should be sufficient we shouldn't even consider lifting sanctions on Russia.

Some? All the ones who want to get through are getting through. Besides the Islamic Republic shadow tankers. Who's stopping anyone?
