A strait closure through November would be apocalyptic. Iran would be the least of our worries by then.
Nothing is going back to normal, ever. Not even if Trump loses and gives up power (0% chance of that IMO though). The damage is already done, it just starts to multiply faster the longer this goes.
If only there was a way to remove reliance on oil and its trade from the US and global economies. Like some kind of energy source that can be locally sourced or is so plentiful that it can be sourced from any number of other countries
Do you remember those calculators we had as kids? They didn’t have replaceable batteries, they just had a little gray box at the top that converted light from the room you were in into energy to run the calculator. It would be so cool if we could do something like that at scale. Unfortunately I think that was as far as they ever took that technology.
It might be overly optimistic of me but I genuinely hope this pushes more solar, wind, and nuclear power investments globally. Cuba just kinda proved a rapid conversion from oil based power is possible. We just need a global effort into sustainable and efficient batteries that can be made with local resources to match
Their best chance at making something happen is right now. Closing the strait (and associated gas prices) is killing Republicans. After midterms they lose that power because whatever happens already happened.
If republicans get massacred at the midterms the US is withdrawing completely from Iran the only reason they are still there is because congress is allowing it.
Iran knows what up they know they just gotta make it until midterms and all this madness ends.

Will it? I think that’s when the madness will really pick up steam!

Who told you Congress is allowing this? These people don’t care what congress wants.
Congress told us themselves with their votes, by shooting down every attempt to stop this war or explicitly limit lord diaper’s powers to continue it.
What votes?
The votes against the war powers resolutions that limit diapers’ power to keep the war going
Haven’t seen any votes
