Gas prices [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[Zig]

No bombers left yesterday afternoon, overnight or this morning from Fairford....

The problem now is how you stop this war. There has to be a reason to stop, victory was declared multiple times last week but still the bombers kept going. There has to be something credible to equate to victory in order to stop but what is that?

Hormuz is open for Iranian tankers and now Indian tankers via negotiation with Iran. China in talks with Iran. This is how Hormuz gets back to normal.

I would be very concerned in the US about terrorism this summer, revenge is a dish best served cold as the saying goes.

negotiation with Iran

^ ransom. Has the country failed the background check required for possession of radical implements?

I am starting to unironically believe that maybe Zig operates at a different level, and we're all a bunch of dolts that can't begin to comprehend it.

Does the lowly termite understand why it is being eradicated from its home within the wood of your walls? Does it comprehend that it is invading your privacy, or does it only understand the cruelty of the exterminator destroying its dugout within your support beams?

Don’t make me blush. .

I'm quite sure of this, only the level is confused within his own brain

BUT THATS WHAT IM SAYING

What if he is totally 100% lucid, and we're the confused ones.

So we are all confused and one person is lucid. Not sure the law of averages is in his favour on that one.

Did we already ask how long does it take for the awakened to become woke?

but otherwise, i suspect temporary price adjustment until the next blend is introduced.

The lowly Termite may think the same thing when his 5000 brothers all come to arms against the single exterminator.

I have a pet termite named Clint. Clint eats wood.

 

[Cz_Ziemniak]

We like Clint

Still no bombers today - that is the first day for 2 weeks without any B1's flying overhead.

Just in case anybody asks by the way, we as a country have not and cannot offer 2 aircraft carriers to help the US as has been said, because although we have 2, one is in an extensive refit at present, and the other is going to the Arctic for NATO exercises. We do however have a large carrier in the Mediterranean already - it is called Cyprus!

I wonder if they're running out of large targets to hit and are using smaller assets like fighters and A-10s.

Even if all hostile activities stop in the region where all this oil is, the attacks have created economic instability through retaliation for years to come. Sheer incompetence.

The core problem is the U.S. outsourced much of production to counties that have heavy energy reliance upon middle east shipping routes. Only recently have things began to slowly change but it will take decades to unravel and replace the decades of displacement that preceded. In the US, lets say Texas, gas prices are rising simply because they can-as the market trade rate of oil barrels rises due to global slowdown in production. Desert Storm/Shield was about 6 months long, Afghanistan OEF/FS was about 20 years total, and Iraqi Freedom was about 9 years long. So anyone's guess how long the current operation Epic Fury will last. I predict elevated gas prices for a month or two while markets price in the new costs. All my cars drink premium and it was about $4.29/G vs maybe $3.50 a few weeks back. So an extra $25 to fill up the truck, yeah I notice but its not hurting yet. Obviously folks who are on tighter budgets or small business for transport that matters more...if it got to Europe prices...which I think is about ~$7.50 or so right now then I think things would go bad real quick. Hope that doesn't happen.

Are you scared of your children? While that may seem like an extreme example does it demonstrate the potential for a counter point to your assumed conclusion ?
