So, you got tricked into bombing a country that didn't attack you, and now gas is way up...

Yea yea, 2 weeks from now it will all be over. We will control the Strait, and Iran will come to Trump with big beautiful strong men with tears in their eyes telling him he is the vestest boy in all the world.

He is stuck with no way out and I saw a rumour Iran wouldnt even negotiate with him anymore.

maybe about a year a go I read an interview with a Iranian official - it was basically "If the US brings a war to us there will be unbelievable hurt in reply - they have no idea what we are capable of"

Turns out it was right on the money

Europe has been paying more per liter than the USA has been paying even now per gallon.

Let the F-150/Ram 1500/Chevy whateve enjoy paying for the roads with their gas taxes.

Soak petrol eaters.

My EV doesn't care. When I had to get a new car, even though my state is actively hostile towards EVs, I had a feeling this bullshit wasn't going to end. As such, I just went EV anyway.
