Well, the straits of Hormuz was open prior to this war. Now that the Trump administration has dropped the watermelon, we are in a tight spot. The Trump Administration was led by Benjamin Netanyahu into believing that this war was only going to be a couple of days. Those are Trump’s words not mine. Sadly, this country has idiots running the show. Therefore if you got your wish and we sent young men and young women into that region they would die. Iran isn’t Afghanistan or Iraq. The Trump administration got some stupid idea that they could make B. Netanyahu’s dreams come true. No president before Trump was dumb enough to take the bait. So, here we are. If everything stopped today, and I mean all bombing and fighting we are still looking at a Summer of a smoked economy. All we could do is pray that we get through this situation. I hope I’m wrong, and the wars impact. But throwing gasoline on a grease fire never seems to be a good fix. We need to accept that we aren’t going to be able to shoot our way out of this one. We as Americans have never seen the likes of this before. We aren’t prepared. You can be the King of Bug Out prepping, you are still gonna to have to deal with something precarious. Again, you or I have never seen anything like this. Oil tankers move at about 22 knots. That is about 26 mph, if you did that in your car it would take some time to travel. So, oil tankers need to leave the Strait and go down the coast of west Africa down around the cape. Then head across the Atlantic to the Gulf of America to Deepwater, Louisiana. By that time Asia is going to have their lights flickering, and cars running dry. Not to mention all the diesel it takes to keep any country moving. I hope I’m dead wrong, I hope by Summer we are paying 1974 prices for gas $.48, and running barefoot through all the money the Donald made for this country. But, alas, he yoked himself to a leader who has his own people wanting to put he and his wife in jail. Sadly we might end up paying for it big time.
