Tin hat time?
« on: 03 January 2020, 08:19:26 »

The Americans have[apparently on direct order from the president]killed the top general-said to have been second only to the Ayatollah-of Iran.The strike took place in Baghdad and is claimed to have been a "defensive measure" on the part of the Americans.Question now is what will the Iranians do in retaliation? I can't see them just settling for sending a nasty letter to the White House.

They stir up the masses, both in their own country and Iraq and Syria, who shout 'Death to America' and burn a few flags. They probably try to put the squeeze on the Straits of Hormuz, possibly try to seize some hostages and then use them as a bargaining chip.

Conspiracy theory
 The price of oil has risen already, Trump's major backers are oil types,??

The major importer of oil from middle East is China??

Rods2 to extrapolate.

Despite all the lefty outrage and dire predictions of all out war, it could be the master stroke that puts Iran back in it's box for a while.... or it could lead to all out war.  :-\  ::)

I'm rather glad tomorrow's trip to Shanghai is on Emirates, I wouldn't fancy being on a US carrier crossing that part of the world just now.   ;D

How long did it take you to find it?  ;)

I was on about the Jaaaag, which is always on the driveway.  Usually not far from an electricity feed ;D


Now the Battlebus, I know I used it a week before Christmas to buy a dishwasher, I just need to remember where I left it ;D

It must be something in the rainwater in Brackers?! I can't remember the last time I connected any car to a source of electricity.

Err, other than the milk float - obviously.  :y

The Omega gets used 1 week a fornight (she lift shares). The Black Pussy doesn't get used, and being a JLR product, is fussy on battery condition.  And the Zafira, well, yeah, errr, uhmmm, ;D

It's only a matter of time before the sweeteners Emirates pay aren't sufficient  :-X

Besides, why fly eight hours the wrong way, when you can fly direct ???

Good for all major oil producing countries with the US now the biggest producer in the world. Not so good for European countries who have banned fracking or made it virtually impossible like in the UK.

US Fracking and Saudi Arabia defending its market share = The good news of an oil glut, lower and lower prices for us and squeaky bum time for Putin!
