Gas prices going up Iranians threaten closure of Straits of Hormuz

I'd gladly pay more too "if" it was gonna put them out of business. I don't see that happening though.

Sadly, this is probably true. They will find a way around it.

They always say and try this. In 2012 they tried to stop the ship I was on with the 11th MEU. We put a Cobras on the bow and stern of their canoe and they left quick fast and in a hurry. We had landing craft in the well deck bigger than their "war" ship. They got more strut than a a banny rooster and less fight than Richard Simmons

We drill enough oil and make and export enough gas to where we don't need a dam thing from there. Keep the business here, and put people back to work.

The one thing I am surprised Trump has not done yet.

Almost spit out my coffee as I was reading the last sentence. Lol.

Butane blending and refinery maintenance season are both ending. Thats going to drive prices more than anything at the moment. That and every company wanting to capitalize on the higher prices but being told by wall street to drill within cash flow (imagine that!)

High prices create more economical drilling which creates more supply which creates lower prices. Easy right?

Good info on supply and demand

The Iranians cannot afford to allow this to happen. They already hate the Saudis

And us

Watching all those tankers transport saudi oil through the Straits of Hormuz

Which they claim as theirs

I'm afraid we have forced their hand

The pot is about to boil over

And I agree paying a little more at the pump to generate jobs is not a bad thing

If the Iranians try to close off the Straits, within 48 hours we could completely destroy their oil export infrastructure and have total command of the air over them... doubt we'll do it, but we could... AND SHOULD!! We should do what Joshua did not do that God told him to do... and we've been paying for it ever since... time to put a stop to this once and for all.

The analogy of the "struttin' rooster and fightin' Richard Simmons" is VERY accurate... They've got this huge army, but time and time again they have shown little backbone for a real fight. They're a bunch of greasy slimeball cowards and we should send them all to wherever they think they're gonna get their 72 virgins.
