Filled up today . Three weeks ago 126, today 1.89. 50% increase I believe. Spanish pm has announced various measures to mitigate Trumps destruction of the global energy market. Eg VAT on fuel reduced from 21 to 10%.
Now Trump has the gall to suggest he will walk away from the Middle East and leave the suckers that buy their energy from there to police the Straits of Hormuz.
This shitshow will carry on for months if not years. I'm not saying that Trump did the wrong thing by striking Iran, but his timing was crap, his forward planning was crap and, as usual, he comes across as a stupid kid playing with his toys.
Basically, he has no understanding of how the world actually works.
I realised this way back, when he suggested injecting people with disinfectant.
I think, in his naive way, that he thought economically the US might not be impacted much, beyond the cost of war, as the US isn't reliant on middle east resources.
However, the fact Iran was (as proven in the last 24hrs) building long range weapons, and seemingly only a few years away (as yet unproven, beyond the monitors found Uranium enriched way beyond civilian levels) from having a nuclear weapon capability, I think it was a necessary action, and the weak, feeble, scared UK should bloody well pull it's finger out.
