#whoosh I guess. Did I say that my comparison with Vietnam was based on the amount of deaths? No. What I’m comparing this to is the national embarrassment of being the infinitely better equipped, having the biggest wallet and the supposedly the best prepared fighting force on the planet… and failing miserably.

What are you helping the US with. The US isn’t obligated to export diesel to Europe. If the US decides that it needs its own resources, it’s going to prioritize that over foreign countries. How are you going to increase gas prices to hurt the US that doesn’t do the same to yourself?

Hahaha. What a fucking joke. They’ve forcibly secured Venezuela. While russia is locked down attacked Iran with the clearly specific purpose or at best known side effect to cause more pressure on europe and china, only to extort the world for private gains. Fucking cancer.

Why? So they can let Europe use up its strategic reserve, then turn around and then the US cancel their own exports. Leaving Europe even worse off. Everything these guys do seems in service of Russia

It would be a career suicide for anyone to do this in Europe, sure we still have a lot of oil and it has not trippled or what not in price like in America but its still going up due to his actions.

Vietnam 2.0 lol, the hyperbole of people on reddit is insane. Vietnam had 58k US deaths. So far the US deaths related to the Iran war is under 20. Vietnam 2.0 lmao

Europe should keep their oil. This isn't their fault. Its ours. We should pay the consequences for our actions.
