Now that this dangerous, extremist Islamic Republic of Iran dictatorship business is nearing an end with the first, second and probably third levels of theocratic leadership killed off as well as their continued ability to militarily defend themselves, their continued defiance apparently now in the hands of their remaining military leadership, is astounding. So, what happens next?
Pertinent facts are important to understand as nearly all the middle east countries, except probably Israel, Egypt and Lebanon, have a product to sell – Oil and natural gas! The Islamic Republic of Iran’s belligerence against anything non-Islamic, placed the world’s economy at risk. Nearly all the countries of Europe except the United Kingdom that has the North Sea oil fields, need outside oil to heat their homes, propel their armies and drive the machinery of their commerce. If they haven’t figured it out yet, they eventually will realize that sunbeams and windmills isn’t going to cut it! They need oil desperately but shockingly not only were they unwilling to help the USN keep open the Strait of Hormuz, their main energy source, they refused to do so claiming it was not their fight. If they don’t want to help us then what’s the use of having a NATO? Who needs enemies when we have friends like the lost Europeans?
Iran has been a main source for Europe’s energy needs ever since Joe Biden didn’t stop Russia from attacking Ukraine. The Iranian Mullah’s needed the cash oil brought so they could pursue their Islamic Jihad against Israel, the United States and the West generally. No one believed it but Barak Obama bribed the Iranians with over a Billion dollars in cash to be nice, but more likely to help Iran grow its anti-western Islamic Jihad. We didn’t need their oil but Barak Obama an Islamic-Communist leaning politician did so to support his stated goal to “Fundamentally Change America” by aiding the spread of Islam.
The UK’s problem is while they have the vast North Sea oil fields, they don’t believe in oil (fossil fuels) anymore so they practically have no fuel even for their navy. The Royal Navy today isn’t worth much anyway due to “woke” Green politics allowing it to atrophy as military asset. They do have a small nuclear submarine fleet of course and even sent one, then in Australia to show the flag to Iran. it’s a wonder they couldn’t send a frigate, at least to show some surface naval interest to the USN in the straits of Hormuz. The Royal Navy is equipped with two new aircraft carriers so where were they? The UK did remove itself from the European Union but not NATO. The scared EU countries weren’t interested in aiding us because their Muslim populations are too big to ignore.
One wonders where were the French? They need oil too but they, like the UK, have a ‘woke,’ progressive idiot as their leader. Having said that, the French Navy is a little better off than the Royal Navy with six Nuclear attack submarines, three aircraft carriers, two for helicopters, and multiple service and supply ships so, what are they doing with all that equipment, protecting Algeria? I won’t even go into Germany’s Naval assets, not much, but all these countries need oil and they don’t want to help the US get it for them. I believe Trump has given them
the answer: buy their oil and NPG from us! 90% of Iran’s oil production actually was bought by China at a discount. China thought Venezuela, a fellow Communist country, could make up their deficit oil needs. Trump ended that scheme.
Ships, including the oil tankers that serve the worlds needs also need oil to move their product. To be threatened and shot at by Irans Mullahs, means that Lloyds of London Insurance rates had to rise exponentially. Because of the war with Iran Lloyd’s now declines to issue new insurance policies to oil transports ships that pass through those Straits. Even shipping headed up and down the Red Sea to transit the Suez Canal face the same dangers from Iranian supplied missiles to Yemen’s Houthi’s. Someday soon hopefully, Iran and the Houthi’s will finally
expend their store of rockets, missiles and drones and the problem will subside until some new terror weapon emerges.
China’s need for oil has demonstrated to China’s business community and the CPR, that their vast sources of coal are still available for energy production and that nuclear power is now easier and less costly to obtain while Europe and Biden’s America still eschew fossil fuels. President Trump just announced that America, under his presidency, will also pursue nuclear power production everywhere and ditch the costly Green Energy schemes that have proved to be too expensive and unproductive to the nation’s energy needs. What will they do with all
those damn windmills? I guess, send them back to China for disposal.
Oil is the common denominator of commerce and daily life made easy. Someday oil may run out but not now. It seems to reproduce itself deep in the earth’s mantle but, safer, newer nuclear techniques are coming on line that reduced the dangers experienced by previous nuclear disasters. This would make electrical power available more cheaply over all parts of America. Americas nuclear driven submarines and aircraft carriers have proven the safety of small atomic reactors if made affordable for smaller communities thus reducing the greater need for coal and NPG by lessening transmission and transportation costs for the quantities needed to run electricity producing generating plants. Donald Trump is correct when he tells us America is on the cusp of a new golden age if the Democrats don’t screw it up first. Oil will have its place as fuel, lubricants and products production but home heating, air conditioning, street lights and etc., should soon become the recipients of new safe nuclear energy while coal and PNG will remain important as a backup.
What will Iran do should it remain in the hands of radical theocratic Islamic Mullahs when this war is over? Its infrastructure is destroyed, its military is in shreds and its economy in tatters. They could continue to sell oil, sand or the idea of “Intifada.” Good luck to them. Nearly fifty years ago Iran reignited the religious Crusades of centuries ago but in reverse and the West, weak in its Christianity, doesn’t see it. In 1979, Jimmy Carter saw it as a dagger to his heart; Clinton tried to ignore it, Obama helped finance it and the dummy Joe Biden, let it rip.
He even invited them in. Clearly, it’s time to get ‘em out of America, Europe and Australia and let ‘em abide as they have for centuries, in third rate nations who lost their social polish decades ago. Our problem is they’re here; they’re armed and they’re dangerous and they still want us to submit.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the only way so, prepare yourselves. What’s coming is
inevitable
