Date: August 12th, 2026 3:26 PM Author: Swollen Bright Space Ratface They're clearly going to drag it out and keep baiting the administration for the rest of the year and probably beyond, so what's the plan here? They'll meet in Switzerland, sign something, then tell everyone they didn't sign shit and it's all a zionist lie, Trump will tweet that they're dishonest goatfuckers and then they'll resume talks, rinse and repeat. Is the admin even aware that they're being baited? |

Date: August 12th, 2026 4:04 PM Author: Concupiscible smoky parlour The strait being closed is absolutely a nightmare for the Iranians. The blockade has decimated their economy. Obviously it's life or death literally for the regime so no hold bared, but shit is really really bad. This is on top of constant bombing to their infrastructure. Not good.
The US has never made more money off of oil. We're now the safe place to get oil along with our Venezuelan shell corp company. The war has really shifted global energy to the Americans. Lol remember opec?
What's worse for Iran is that their adversaries would gladly fund new pipelines over paying a toll. In the long-term Iran can't really play the same card again. If I was Iran I would think a nuke is the only remaining cars to play. |

Date: August 12th, 2026 4:40 PM Author: Ungodly galvanic spot This is genuinely impressive in how utterly wrong every single sentence is. You’ve managed to post a complete manifesto on global energy while lacking even a middle-school level understanding of geography, international law, or basic economics.
The idea that adversaries can just "fund new pipelines" to replace the Strait of Hormuz proves you have zero concept of scale. Hormuz moves roughly 20 million barrels of oil a day. There isn't a pipeline network on Earth that can absorb that volume, no matter how much money you throw at it.
The rest of your post is pure unhinged fanfiction. Venezuela isn't a "US shell corp.” it’s a state-owned oil industry, and Chevron having a temporary license to operate there doesn't mean America owns the country. And "remember OPEC?" OPEC+ controls 80% of the world's proven reserves. Oil is a fungible global commodity, meaning when supply gets choked, prices skyrocket for everyone, including us.
Log off, delete this embarrassing garbage, and go read a book before you inflict your opinions on the internet ever again. Or just kill yourself |

|
Date: August 12th, 2026 4:57 PM Author: Dull Base Internal Respiration i am honestly flabbergasted that anyone could believe that iran is somehow being harmed by the closure of the strait of hormuz more than the US is. iran is *choosing* to keep the strait closed. they are trying to drag this out as long as they can because they know it hurts the US more than it hurts them. it's literally their entire strategy
if they were being harmed by it more than we were, they would just....open the strait and make peace, a peace that the US has desperately been trying to achieve for a long time now |
|
Date: August 12th, 2026 5:05 PM Author: Concupiscible smoky parlour Ok harm is relative here. The Iranians depend on oil revenue for 80% of their gdp. For their economy this is a death sentence. However, the relative threat to them is dramatic. This is an existential issue for the regime so any price is worth it. If the US was being harmed proportionally, you realize we could escalate the conflict to open the straight. We have a giant army and nuclear weapons etc.
For the Iran this is how long can we live in the bunker or die, but for us it's how long can we handle people bitching about gas prices. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2026 5:12 PM Author: Dull Base Internal Respiration there is only one point of comparison that matters: which side is advantaged by the closure of the straight, and which side is disadvantaged. everything else is irrelevant
yes, iran can live in their bunker longer than the politicians who control the actions of the US army can handle people bitching about gas prices. that's the whole point. the US won't invade or nuke iran because that would harm the US politicians more than making a disadvantageous peace would |
|
Date: August 12th, 2026 5:15 PM Author: Concupiscible smoky parlour I don't know that the first question is answered. I think bottling up Iran's oil was a key target of the entire operation. Americans had higher prices under Biden.
Edit: and in real terms the closure is definitely hurting Iran more. I don't think people appreciate just how bad things are there. They had Internet blackout since January that fucked the economy. That was before their oil exports went to near zero and half of their critical infrastructure was destroyed. That's all very bad shit that doesn't get fixed overnight. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2026 5:22 PM Author: Dull Base Internal Respiration well this will be pretty easy to figure out. we'll just wait for iran to open the straight back up, since it's entirely up to them, and they can unilaterally do so at any time
any day now, i'm sure! |

|
Date: August 12th, 2026 5:44 PM Author: Concupiscible smoky parlour It doesn't actually say China WILL invade, they just have to be ready to by next year. A bunch of their other diplomatic efforts are built on the assumption they would have a credible threat to take the island by force. Don't discount that. And it's more complicated than that. I don't think China will ever invade either, but the likelihood isn't zero.
Taiwan is critical to the AI future, which is the panacea to population decline targets for 2050 and 2100, and so forth. ..

|
Date: August 13th, 2026 10:42 AM Author: Concupiscible smoky parlour I guess I wasn't very clear. Cutting off oil exports is a death sentence for the Iranian economy. The war is the existential crisis for the regime. However, the regime is a theocratic dictatorship so there is no economic accountability.
I also don't think regime change was ever on the table. Iran purged it's dissidents right before the US/Israel strikes, so the people to actually overthrow the current government were killed and no population is going to rally around an invading army, especially with Jews involved. But the US already knew this. Israel was hoping for basically chaos and for the country to split apart. That's not what the US wanted. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2026 5:01 PM Author: Concupiscible smoky parlour Lol international law!
They are funding new pipelines and I bet overall added capacity over the next decade exceeds 20 million barrels. It won't happen overnight but arabs have a lot of two things; money and hate for Shia Persians. Some of the pipelines make sense already. That's why I said Iran only gets to use this card once.
Oil is fungible but only on the petrodollar system. Iranian and Russian oil was making it to Chinese markets off the books. That can't be allowed. The US is the world's top producer of energy today. That makes us rich here but also expands the industry reach. This isn't the 90s when we were terrified of opec. Opec now fears the mid level fracking outfits in the US Midwest...they price the oil ceiling now. Price too high and they kick up production. That's death for opec. |
