So that means it definitely will then!

Just think how much those big US oil barrons will be rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect of $200 oil. That would be the same big oil players who backed Trump/Maga and undermine renewables at every opportunity.

Middle East war creating ‘largest supply disruption in the history of oil markets’ Vast release of emergency crude reserves fails to quell mounting fears about supply crunch, rattling markets * Middle East crisis – live updates Oil markets are now facing the “largest supply disruption in history” as the war in Iran continues to block tankers from producing and shipping millions of barrels of crude each day, the world energy watchdog has warned. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said the supply shock ignited by Iran’s effective blockade of the strait of Hormuz meant the world faced a deeper crisis than after the Yom Kippur war of 1973 and the 2022 outbreak of war in Ukraine.

Agree. Perhaps she was meaning from the English perspective? As she was focusing on the WM Govt having their heads in the sand over indy parties taking control over NI, Wales and Scotland. I can see them (UK ministers) being equally pig headed negotiating with Scotland though.

UK 'heads in sand over independence may mean Brexit-style chaos', top Green warns The Westminster government and media have their heads 'so firmly in the sand' about the pro-independence political atmospheres in Scotland, Wales,…

She makes excellent points on PR for Westminster too, and asks why Starmer is doing nothign but laying the path for reform.

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

Is this what they call funny money?

White House: War Isn’t Hell. War Is Effing Awesome. You Are Hell. Once, war was justified by ho-hum lies about WMDs. Now, it’s Childish Gambino grooves and the Book of Revelation. Get with the program.

Twenty years ago, in other words, neocons and neolibs could justify war with “values” (coded Christian) and “interests” (coded capitalist). Violent superstitions were supposed to belong to the other side. trib.al/WYsWi7l

Trump Has Never Been a Planner, and in War That’s Deadly “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.” — All the President’s MenSenator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a Democrat and member of the Foreign Relations Committee, took to social media Tuesday night to share takeaways from a classified briefing the White House shared with him and other legislators about the Iran war.

Russian are "expansionists" while US has invaded Venezuela, has bombed Nigeria, Syria, Yemen, Somalia while currently bombing Iran, all while threatening Cuba, and wanting to annex Canada and buy Greenland. Who's expansionist again? 🤔

Is it time to start planning for the worst? The MSM of course will never mention any of this.

Even in the scenario that Trump stops bombing Iran, and all fighting stops. Do you think Iran will resume normal relations ay time soon after having had oil splattered over Terhan and endless bombing and assasination of their leader and his family? I doubt it. How long will the Straights be closed?

It won't just be airfares either. Food production could grind to a halt. No diesel, unaffordable fuel, shortage of fertaliser (30-50% of which comes from middle east).

If Iran succeeds in creating this bottleneck, expect $200 / per barrel oil soon, and it's knock on effects to the economies will we far reaching.

We're talking entire economies at risk. Worse than happened during covid lockdowns in 2020. The G7 have just release 400million barells of strategic reserve to offset things, but that amount only represents 4 days of global supply. What happens then?

Many countries around the world only have a tiny & finite supply of oil/gas/diesel and require continual shipments from the middle east. Those are not happening now. Somecountries will run out in as little as 2-3 weeks.

Anyone getting nervous ove rthe Straights of Hormuz being effectively shut down? Even if it's being patrolled by US, there's nothign much moving through it and if insurance companies are not insuring ships because of the war then they won't move.

Food prices have continued to rise over the last three years, and no they haven’t come down. Each week there are more and more increases.
We cannot sustain further rises in basic food supplies.
Wage rises are not increasing at the same pace.
This latest threat is on Trump’s ego.

Oil price up, US arms depleted, a proxy Russian/Chinese war on west. Much like the wests proxy war on Russia over Ukraine. Both are proxy wars. Russia looks like it's a winner, oil price up and some sanctions on selling it dropped. Eastern tech just took out several expensive US THAD systems too.

Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."

Good thread👇

This article really is a must read. Very informative.

Aye, the indy can is getting well dented as are the SNP boots from kicking it for so long. #SNP1 #SGP2 to max the yes and let's move this thing along.

Trump also said recently that he didn't need permission to use Spains bases. I suspect it's a similar story with UK's subservient/poodle status to US. I'm surprised at Labour not whole heartedly joining in though. Perhaps it was more to do with the May elections and poor polling.

I suspect some of those 'RAF' bases in England are actually US air bases in reality. Probably just kept the 'RAF' name to make it look like they aren't to avoid scrutiny or oversight.

The US planes landing at our bases for the last month, were they carrying bunting and party balloons?

You cant be a little bit pregnant and you cant be only a little bit complicit in an illegal war.

This "not involved" wise Brave Sir Starmer is balls.

What the end of Alba means for May’s election and the broader independence movement Well that’s it. The Alba party has gone and will not be contesting the Holyrood election in May, or indeed any elections in the future. Unlike some, I am not gloating about the party’s …
