This was a significant attack from Iran.. and as I post this,, more strikes are expected to occur..
It’s 100 percent certainty that Israel will strike back, and strike back HARD!!
It’s suspected that Iranian oil fields are going to be targeted.. so watch gas prices go through the roof.
I have a bad feeling that we are about to be sucked into this…
I pray for the safety of our men and women in uniform who might be going into harm’s way

this has the potential to kick off WWIII to bad we have the puppet in office and likely will have the brain dead chick after.

Don’t forget, we DONT need their oil…. If the idiots in charge would free ours up again…. But that won’t happen …. Good thing we have depleted our strategic oil reserves during the past 3.5 years . Let’s hear from the liberal support group on this…. Cmon, remind us how bad the orange man was…. No wars no new conflicts it was sooooo bad..

we don't get their oil here at least legally. but regardless Any shortage means the country's that fo buy it will buy from other places driving up demand and prices.

"The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to our International Energy Statistics, for the past six years in a row. Crude oil production in the United States, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global record of 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. Average monthly U.S. crude oil production established a monthly record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d."

Agee Dirt and I have always said the longer we sit on oil the more it is worth and if we ever need it for a war its here and that might be soon.

So why were we depleting the SOR if we were pumping out so much?

That was Biden attempting to drop gas prices, like he gave a crap...but it looks good from a certain angle....

The incredibly important fact, Dirt failed to mention, is that the US exported more than 10 million of those 12.9 million barrels of crude oil, every day, because the democrats won't allow American companies to build refineries here to refine it. We had to import more than 8.5 million barrels a day of oil, we are allowed to refine.

Keith

obviously a war is needed before the election, would not be surprised if fjb steps down before the election also....

Now quit bringing up the underlying issues, we have a propaganda platform to uphold around here.. inconvenient truths that need to be heard by many!

Israel needs to attack the head of the snake and take out Iran's nuclear plants, oil production, and it's leaders.. Israel also needs to keep ignoring advice from Biden.

How much money was sent to Iran by Obama ?????

Oh I know why. Just wondering if the other two would admit it.

Only birth pains right now. The real war won't kick for for some time

If you are an oil producing(exporting) nation high oil prices are good.

Make Iran Persia Again!

Saw a t-shirt years ago with a big pretty mushroom cloud .
Said:

Nuke em' till they glow.
It worked in Japan, it'll work in Iran.

The strategic oil reserve was created to dump oil on the market when prices got high to reduce the price of crude oil a bit. Exactly what it was used for.

"So we buy and refine the cheaper stuff, and we sell our more expensive stuff to places that can’t do that. There’s one more discount: The majority of our oil comes from our closest neighbor."

Source: Keith's Article

Now it's time for Israel to dump on Iran.

Be nice to focus on the issues at home for once and let Iran and Israel sort it out themselves.

Peaks and valleys…. We’re in a peak now. Just watch, Israel will retaliate and it’ll slow down again. Same old crap….nobody has the cohunas to drop the gloves and have at er.

The draft is coming and all those mean tweet hating suburban soccer moms are going to be crying the blues. I got chilly bumps just thinking about it. lol

Iran was a broke Richard camel country under Trump ....they couldn't afford a dozen red Ryders

Biden is the reason for all the attacks on Isreal......from hesbola , hamas , Iran........that's right BIDEN ,and all you fools who voted for the moron

Agree 100 %

If the USA leaves Israel alone then God would not keep this country going..

We should do Isreal a solid , and drop a moab on Iran's nuke facility

looks like the only death was a gazan hit by shrapnel.

The video of the rocket falling on the guy walking down the street is wild!!

Not posting it here. Lol

Please do Spjones

Either side better pray neither of them intentionally, or otherwise, destroy the Dome of the Rock or the Wailing Wall. If that happens . . . there's WWIII for sure!

Why would you be excited to see your fellow citizens forced into fighting in the middle east?

As far as oil didn’t the Saudi just say they were increasing production to drive down oil prices, so tin foil hat time the Saudi payed Iran to do this knowing their oil fields would be bombed to keep the price up, this would be a stretch of a conspiracy theory but plausible.

Read again, that’s not what I’m excited about. Nice try though.

It would do some basement dwellers good to know what's it's like to defend your country.

Oil flows to where it can be refined. Even though oil is fungible it has different chemical compositions. Some refineries are designed to process heavy sour crude and some refineries are designed to process light sweet crude. The United States currently uses somewhere north of 20 million barrels per day of crude and produces 13 million barrels per day of crude. We are by no means energy independent. Saudia Arabia has drawn a line in the sand and declared they are willing to accept lower crude prices in order to maintain market share. A poster above correctly stated oil shut in anywhere affects oil prices everywhere. Biden used the SPR to influence the 2022 midterms. We should be refilling it now but probably aren't because of the 2024 election. A widening of the current middle east conflict will send prices higher.

1000%

Yes the U.S. is Energy Independent in net energy used compared to exported. Energy is measured in BTUs, not barrels of crude oil. No the U.S. is not energy independent in that we do import energy producing products from other countries and are not able to supply all our energy producing products.

TRUTH ^^^

Kansas Cat didn't mention that most of Saudi oil is pretty sour. He'll correct if I'm wrong but I think the global oil price is based on what West Texas sweet crude is going for each day, sort of like "top lot' fur.

It's interesting how a little 7 or 8 million person country tail can wag a dog of multiple countries that have say 500 million people involved (or more)? Getting past the Biblical history of Israel, why does the modem, mostly secular Israel wield that much power. Hmmmm....???

Simple answer is they have to if they want to exist...

The Bible isn't a History book as Such;
It's "Living Word"

and God is Always Israel s protector

Many will find out the hard way

And most in modern Israel will once again, as they did 2000 years ago, and in the time of Solomon (the later years with his 700 mostly foreign wives) and the next 500 years, choose wrongly. The 10th Unblemished Red Heifer cult will make a deal with the AC to rebuild the temple and will be hoodwinked once again when they find out who will really be worshiped there. Yes, Jesus was a Jewish man but he died for all humanity, not just the "special people". And there's a lot more of us gentiles (goyim is their "pet" name for us) than them.

isnt goyim also the hebrew word for livestock?

I think its a little humorous that Israel of the bible has not happened. That nation is much larger. I thinks it humorous that Islam and Judaism both predict the destruction of the other. I find it very sad that after 20 years of war in the mideast the U.S. did not destroy the ability of Islamists to wage war. I believe it is because there is more money to be made with never ending war.

The love of money is the root.

It's money...but Deeper than that

When you look at how people treat each other when they love money more than their neighbor, is there really a need to go any deeper?

Satan is Real

It’s on Funker530…..When it’s your time, it’s your time. Crazy.

Probably true, but this ain't that. Yet.

I believe it’s just a matter of time now, until it all comes undone…
Iran is allies with Russia, Iran has been supplying Russian with drones and other military equipment for Ukraine
Russia is already sore with the United States for interfering with Ukraine
Will Russia come to the aid of Iran should the United States directly engage Iran?
Would that enact NATO to come to the aid of the USA?
China is also allied with Russia,,, will china take advantage and advance on tiawan as well as partnering with aid to Russia??
This is a realistic scenario!!!
And I haven’t even mentioned the use of nuclear weapons…
We are all just one mistake away from oblivion…

This is why the United States foreign policy is so influential…and competent leaders should be in that position.
I m worried for my kids and grandchildren…
I know GOD is in charge… but I don’t want to see them suffer because we had individuals asleep at the wheel

Wont be long now the nukes will be flying in the M.E.
The Muzzies aint scared to die.
They are always blowing themselves up.

You are correct. Biden funded Iran by lifting Trump's sanctions and giving them billions making it possible for them to fund these terrorists. Now, Biden thinks Israel should listen to him when the goal of Iran is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth?

Iran sells China oil,they can always get money from our enemy countries who are against the alliance.
Every time we buy Chinese junk we are supporting the economy of China which flows thru to Iran and their despotic axis allies.

Reminiscent of ww2 when Britain was supplying Germany with steel and the krauts were making it into weaponry to fire back at them.

Agreed

What's the alliance?

"European Union blocking statute
A EU blocking statute was originally enacted in 1996 to "counteract" the sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba, Iran and Libya.[2]

After the US reimposed sanctions against Iran following its withdrawal from an agreement which permitted trade if Iran curtailed its nuclear programme, on 17 May 2018 the European Commission announced its intention to implement the blocking statute of 1996 to declare the US sanctions against Iran null and void in Europe and ban European citizens and companies from complying with them. The commission also instructed the European Investment Bank to facilitate European companies' investment in Iran.[3][4][5]"

2018 update
On 7 August 2018, the EU updated its blocking statute. The process of updating the EU blocking statute commenced by adding to its scope on 6 June 2018 the extraterritorial sanctions the US re-imposed on Iran.[1] The European Commission said:[6]

...We are determined to protect European economic operators engaged in legitimate business with Iran, in accordance with EU law and with UN Security Council resolution 2231... This is why the European Union’s updated Blocking Statute enters into force on 7 August to protect EU companies doing legitimate business with Iran from the impact of US extra-territorial sanctions.

The 2018 blocking statute essentially prohibits EU companies from "direct" or "indirect" (via subsidiaries or intermediary persons) compliance with the laws listed in US sanctions annex.[2] It also does not recognize any verdicts by courts that enforce US penalties. A to-be-established clearing house will, through a special-purpose vehicle set up for this purpose, facilitate trade with Iran by European companies, bypassing US sanctions.[7]

European governments regard the blocking statute as "more of a political weapon than a regulation", since, it wrote, the blocking statute's rules were "vague and difficult to enforce".[8] A senior US administration official said they were not "particularly concerned by" the imposition of the blocking statute.[9]"

Yes, the funding of foreign wars on both sides.
And have no fellowship with the untruthful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11

No one is going to do anything significant about this; fear not.

Have you ever seen a real war where one sides says hey Joe what can we do that won’t cross a red line? Then go ahead and lob missals in with advanced warning, hey Bibi we are going to strike. Then after you do say well we are done now but you better not respond or we will do it again… theater of the absurd… but it worked look at this thread…

It id downright disgraceful that fjb&co financed attacks on isreal.

How many missiles did Hamas have to launch to overwhelm the Iron Dome? More than 200.

Does anyone remember when OPEC started?
If you do then you have a better idea of just what's going on.
If not search it.
