Iran Doesn't Have To Win. It Just Has To Outlast America.

[Wounded Bear]

7. True of all assymetric warfare...

One side only has to survive, and it's not the side with all the fancy toys.

Iran controlling the Strait is now a permanent feature of trump's war. Our only real exit strategy is to decouple the US economy from the oil industry as much as possible. The government does not keep oil prices low to stabilize the economy, they keep them low to ensue the survival of the oil oligarchs.

Every time shit like this happens, oil and gas prices go up and there is a surge in EVs and alternative energy. Usually, what happens is things get somewhat settled, prices drop again, and things go back to "normal." Each time, we get a little bit closer to getting off the oil standard. Is this the last time? Doubtful, but one can hope.
