Official Iran conflict game thread.

Jim Rickards also saying mass starvation is imminent.

If it was that urgent though wouldn't the likes of Japan and Thailand be sending some of their military to Hormuz to help usher ships through? To my knowledge not a single ship has hit a mine. Someone might go "easy for you to say Stalin when you're not riding on a ship going through the Strait." But if its an existential crisis you'd think desperate times would call for desperate measures.

Soon enough they will be forced to cap wells unless a deal gets cut. No need to blow them up if they are all shut in anyways.

Not as easy as it seems it would be and how many Iranian oil drilling engineers can do this quickly?

Paul Erich said we’d all be suffering and depopulating long ago.

Doomsday predictions always sell.

It’ll be a more symbolic fuck you by IRGC to the Iranian people. Maybe Kharg Island sinks into the sea or something.

That ain't cheap to get back online.

But, fuck, what do we know about the oil bidness, right?

Best part of the blockade. Exploding offer with a built in escalation ladder.

There's 100% infighting within the IRGC and this is going to bring it to a boil.

To casually dismiss Jim Rickards as a doomsday salesman is very short-sighted

 

[DerekJohnson]

Rickards was just interviewed by I think a UAE interviewer. He says that it's possible Trump wants the Strait of Hormuz closed to strengthen the positions of the USA and by extension Russia.

@CallMeBigErn is the expert on the WSJ and their accurate assessment on the conflict in Iran.

I’m merely a messenger because I’m sure Ern must have missed this article seeing as he hasn’t posted it.

You can't say uneducated garbage like that and expect anyone to take you seriously.
