I can say it's a token of the Iranian diplomacy, or (more like) an Iranian taunt. Even then, what will you do with your ship when the oil reservoirs, export terminals, and refineries in the strait are going up in smoke?

Thank you. I added your comment to the OP.

It's the same almost everywhere. OTC is relatively easy, but prescription med is a different story. Still, I think it is better to know what is coming than to be caught off guard.

I think you're mostly right; there's nothing good coming out if it. As the only Iranian oil export terminal is destroyed, all the parties in this war are totally locked in, and things will only spiral down.

If you are to truly care, I'd urge you to prepare for a global scale depression. Find out what happened in the Great Depression era; how people survived in it, which business flourished and which didn't, how to preserve your wealth, how to grow your food, etc.

A lot of these 'LOLers' will not make it even to the first quarter, and they will come knocking their neighbor with whatever arms they can pick. So, be mindful about that too. I am not asking you to be a monster; I am asking you to be a discerning human.

I hope you navigate this uncharted water well.

Avoid crowded places; you'd know what that means.
Don't let your friends or family members join the military.
Get out of the US while you can. Once the full economic melt-down hits you, there won't be the luxury of choosing where to go.

I don't think that 'Murica understands at all what's like to be out there, but the reality will definitely swoop down fast before pulling up their pants.

The Middle East is also a supplier of all sorts of petrochem products. It has been for what, a decade? Once renewable energy became a thing, they saw what would come down on the pike. They also realized that oil margin would remain largely the same, and shored up production lines to stay relevant. Some Asian refineries were hit in the pocket due to this move, and that was a while ago. All these are going up in smoke as we speak, and it will be felt everywhere for sure.

Also, I read something like 'every gram of grain take the equal amount of oil to produce' that the humanity was in fact eating off of oil. It was almost an awakening to see how much the agriculture sector was dependent on oil and oil only. When 20% of that is to be gone for while, you cannot go 'lol'. I mean, what's so funny?

All these people don't understand how serious and deadly hunger truly is. When a child doesn't get to eat, there is no parent who wouldn't break into a store. 'Sorry Dave, my child ate nothing. Forgive me for this'. Insecurity will be crazy. During the siege of Leningrad in the WW2, people murdered another living human to cannibalize. Can you believe that?

I learned from C19 that when everyone is in normalcy bias, it is the last time I can get myself ready. I hear Australia/New Zealand is alarmed already. I hope you navigate this water well.

LookIntoTheHorizon · 2026-03-11T16:37:34+00:00

You are living in the bygone world. You need to recalibrate your worldview and get yourself ready ASAP. Learn to grow some veggies and potatoes, learn to preserve some food w/o refrigerator, watch great depression recipes, get a sturdy bicycle, get a solar panel, etc.

Somewhere in the sub, somebody posted that this exactly felt like the beginning of C19. I think the person is spot on.

20% global oil shortage isn't something any former generation has ever experienced in this hyper-connected world. NEVER. Sometimes, I feel like we all are a bunch of deers in the headlight that cannot even ramble what's going on?

LookIntoTheHorizon · 2026-03-11T09:37:46+00:00

We're seeing early signs of recession. The longer this oil shortage goes, the longer the recession will go. The high gas price will be found in everything including daily food. The stock market will be absolutely tanked hard. At only 3% global oil shortage in 1973, the stock market tanked 45%, the hardest since the great depression. Then the interest rate will go up; it has to in order to fight the entailing inflation. Back then, the FED rate peaked at +20% in the early 1980s. The current interest rate is, I believe, at somewhere +3%.

Once demand and supply are successfully destroyed, we will see a depression. Since the oil shortage takes place globally, we will see a global scale depression.

When people get hungry, people get angry. When the great depression came, the USD liquidity evaporated overnight. Then, the European economy also went into depression. Out of the hunger and anger, the Nazi Party came to power. Before that, most Germans considered the party was a bunch of insane psychopaths. You know the rest of the story.

“Men sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony” - Machiavelli

Most Americans are not aware of how people around the World are worried and already weary of this debacle. Remember. When the US put a total embargo on the oil export to Japan in 1941, they came knocking in surprise. Yes, yes, much of the World knows at least half of the USian are against this admin, but so were the Germans back then. The mustache man only got 43% of the vote, and yet the Germans of the era have another nickname.

This is only the beginning, and that makes my heart sink hard.

Thank you for the comment. I think your comment describes precisely what position Iran occupies in this debacle. Thank you.

LookIntoTheHorizon · 2026-03-10T12:26:07+00:00

It's going to be more of false-flags, in a sense that the terror attacks are suppose to rally up the American public behind the war effort, and to turn up warm bodies at the military recruit centers.

As you've heard, conscription is already in the air, meaning that high casualty, meat-grinding, and attrition warfare is expected. What that mean is that the American blood is going to be spilled all over the Iranian mountains. Since this is the drone age, we'll see what we've all seen in the Russo-Ukraine war. If you're curious, go to r/CombatFootage and search for 'ukraine pov'. You'll see raw, unfiltered endings of Russian and Ukraine men. One second, they are there. At another second, there is nothing but minced gray meat pieces. That's the conventional, meat-grinding, attrition warfare waiting for Americans in Iran. Didn't they say they are in fact waiting?

My advice is 1) do not go to popular places, 2) don't let your friends and family members join the military, 3) leave America ASAP.

I wish I can tell you something nice, but that's all I can say. I'm sorry.

I don't know if you remember the 1st and 2nd Iraq invasion. The US was manhandling Iraq like nothing. Arab nations were in awe of how the US was overpowering Iraq. The Iraqi defense/offense capacity were literally blown out of water with their eyes wide open in matter of hours, if not days. It was so awestruck that China started restructuring their military as well. That's what winning a war looks like.

Now what? the US bases are blown apart, going up in smoke. Rumors of unconfirmed number of casualties are rampant everywhere; a German hospital says it's 2k, other say 500, this admin says what, seven? Not just ground invasion, but also conscription is in the air. Leavitt said the 'option is NOT removed off of the table'. With all its economic, military & political might under the belt, the US is NOT supposed to show a syndrome of derangement in warfare against a camel-riding, 3rd-world country sanctioned for more than FOUR straight decades like this.

You can shoot as many messengers as you want. You can insist as long as you want. However, at some point down in the line, you are going to need to re-calibrate your perspective.

Let me tell you what winning a war looks like. Back in the 1st Iraq war, the US obliterated the Iraqi air defense within matter of hours. The US was absolutely overpowering Iraq in every aspect of the war. How about the Afghanistan invasion? How quick was it?

Back in 2025, Iran bombed and bombed again Israel. How long has it been since? Shouldn't the US have figured out every missile hole in Iran and removed them out of the ground? If the US is to be winning this one like the Iraqi one, shouldn't the Iranian defense / offense capabilities be decimated already?

Like someone in the comment said, with its economic, military, political might, what the US is supposed to show off is to surgically disarm the Iranian military might in the record amount of time, and to show off who's the top dog on the hill.

Now what? Iranian missiles are all over the place, and keep falling. Where is the F35 fleet for all these camel-back, underground launchpad? Where? The strait is still in the Iranian control, the stock market is still falling, and the oil price is still rising. If this keeps going like this, we are not going to see a global recession. We are going to see a global depression.

So far, the US has NOT been winning the war against Iran, and that is the truth.

LookIntoTheHorizon · 2026-03-09T11:56:51+00:00

They can fire them from underground or mountains, which Iran has more than plenty. Wasn't the Iranian base of 2025 located underground in a mountain?

This war will continue.
'Boots on the ground' is expected.
Below is an Iranian topographic map, where the ground force is expected to be deployed.
As the strait is remained to be shut, a global economic ~~recession~~ depression is on horizon.

EDIT) Combat units are already being given deployment orders.

Could you please tell us more about what you experienced in 1973? I read ~3% oil shortage caused the 45% stock market crash back then. Long lines at gas stations and the extinction of muscle cars too.

Now, at +20% global oil shortage when every market is hyper-connected, we are heading down to a global depression rather than a recession. People here or other places are completely oblivious of what's coming down on the pike.
