  • I don’t think it’s lazy. This is a common thread that weaves throughout the entire history of European colonialism. Their racist ideology repeatedly causes them to underestimate their enemy. In the case of Iran, this has reached a completely new level of absurdity.

    Combine this with the empire’s decline and we’re witnessing a defeat the scale of which the US has never before experienced. Trump is the perfect embodiment of this arrogance.





  • As of writing, the price of a barrel of oil from Oman is $153. This is much closer to reality than Brent Crude which, as I understand it, is a futures contract and vulnerable to market manipulation and speculation. $200 per barrel isn’t that far off. Even if the war ended tomorrow, we could still see this happen since it takes time to ramp up production again and a lot of infrastructure has already been damaged or completely destroyed.
