No single oil importer country I've heard of is in a better position beside China.. This simply means the whole world is under the rubble economically and in other ways.... Trump is now a de facto leader of MCGA fanatics.. Good news indeed for the BRICS+ which Trump was hoping to destroy in the process... (from Johannesburg)

Welp, I would think that 1) all former Venezuelan oil headed to China is now headed to the US and 2) Canadian tar sands “oil” will also backstop us. And I’m sure Russia is happy to continue selling to us, despite the Demon-cats obsession over “Russia Russia Russia”. So my best guess is the US will be one of the least affected nations in the world for some time.

That’s very bullish for Canadian heavy crude producers

I still want to hear what YOU would recommend if Iran did get nuke? No one ever addressed this

israel would not hesitate to use its nukes, when the endgame shows iran will be the winner.

if iran convinces them with a demonstration that it has their own, they would maybe hesitate

and delay the attack or with a new govt. in tel aviv would unhappily live in peace forever.

Mohammed Safa former UN employee said UN is preparing for Iran to be nuked.

prof. postol of mit (ret) was sure iran has a few nuklear bombs alredy, or

will construct them in a short time. it would be just dependent on the number of centrifuges they can use for enrichment.

Hasn't Iran been 'a year away' from a nuclear weapon for over 30 years now? Netanyahu himself first made that warning in 1992. He repeated it in 2009, again in 2012 with the cartoon bomb at the UN. And now that I think about it... after last year's strikes, he also said Israel 'sent Iran's nuclear program down the drain.' Something to think about.

My estimate: The SPR won't be refilled in my lifetime. And I feel like I'm going to live another 60 years, for the purposes of the previous statement.

Important to see what's coming and how we need to position for success. Thanks for the details.
