I CANNOT WAIT until we get Trump out of office. Even his VP would be better (as much as I've come to resent him).

Unfortunately, I doubt there is any air between Vance and Trump regarding the wars we are supporting.

The problem with being VP as a way of boosting your own presidential prospects is that the nature of the job requires you to support everything the President does publicly, regardless of your own feelings on the matter. So you inherit all of his bad decisions. Even if later on in a campaign you say you'd do things differently, there are a million quotes of you supporting everything as it happened in real-time.

I think most people with serious presidential aspirations would do better to turn down the job.

If Vance had been the top guy all along, I think there's a good chance we wouldn't be in this war, so there's that.

However, when he sold his soul to the devil to get the Senate nomination (and then to be on the 2024 ticket), I lost all respect for him, permanently. Smart guy, but...

Don't really know how "smart" he is.
Recently, he was still blaming Biden for high gasoline prices.

He basically has to say whatever Trump wants him to say at this point.

In all fairness,

we see the gullibility here all the time.
Like when a poster posts complaining that eggs are $10 when they could still get a dozen at Trader Joe's for $4.49.

Or complains posting that gas in Los Angeles is > $8 per gallon when it was still $5.

Or complains about a bag of chips for $4 when they could get it for $2 elsewhere.

It is your claim, or that of Israeli propagandist Shrader, that is extraordinary and not credible, the notion that Iranians are protecting a pilot who is bombing them to the stone age.

Once again, your post is a combination of bad faith and ignorance, I'd say 80-20 here.

Bingo.

Or claiming that gas prices won't get above $4.00 a gallon because the U.S. has "plenty of oil".
Doing nothing but parrot the Mango Moron.

Apparently, these people didn't know that oil is a global commodity.
Who knew?

There is a buffer inventory of 1-2 months in the form or oil transiting through slow-moving tankers and local storage, but once that inventory is depleted, we're going to see big spikes in price. $150 by june is a reasonable expectation if traffic through Hormuz isn't restored. This is going to translate in gas prices in the $5-$7 range.

The only reason that Brent isn't already up at $175 or WTI at $150 is because of the East-West Pipeline out to the Red Sea, which I highlighted here in an earlier post. A contingency product of the Iran/Iran War.

That pipeline was only doing 700,000 bpd before the attack on Iran.
It's now at 7 million bpd.

Meanwhile, releasing oil out of our SPR has virtually done nothing.

I remember when Pac 10 Bear posted repeatedly about how DUMB a move this was by Biden at the beginning of the Ukraine War and how we were depleting our emergency supplies.

Funny, how he doesn't say a "peep" about the same release by Trump.
Just crickets.

Nobody said prices aren't going up. He said they aren't going up to the levels Wags always posts about. It's clear Wags finds the most expensive prices to post about when there are cheaper options

You didn't provide "facts", just a shot of a traffic jam in Iran, there is no indication that there was any motive there, no proof whatsoever that these drivers were blocking the IRGC, this is a narrative that smacks of complete BS.

it's a prime example of lowbrow wartime propaganda which shills like Emily Shraeder have been dispensing for years now.
