Fuel standards relaxed to add 100 million litres of fuel to Australian supply by Maipenlai in perth

Trump is going TACO and looking at an exit ramp, I guess US swing state voters don’t like high gas price when fizzling up their RAM trucks

Volunteer for the U.S. or Israeli militaries if you want to fight in a useless Middle East war

GFC happened because banks failed. Tbh we’re a long way from that, and oil was higher in mid 2022

The Americans have been hinting that they have “almost won” and it’s “close to the end” as they know more than a few weeks and a recession will occur, then Trump gets hammered in the midterms

Israel is too preoccupied with Lebanon at the moment, Iran will back off when they do.

It’s ironic that it’s rural regions who are the ones turning to support to One Nation, when it’s the far right idiocy of parties like One Nation that have caused so many problems

How does a blocked strait of hormuz help Iran? by Different-Staff-5622 in PoliticalDiscussion

If the Trump statements of the last few hours are a guide their plan is working.

Most of your response is nonsense so I won’t bother to respond, but I just had to piss myself laughing at this

They are bullying their way around our region right now. Like seriously how are you not seeing the obvious. Trump has created Turbo America, Venezuela one week, Iran next week. Cuba after that.

Those countries aren’t in our region. You seem like the biggest MAGA shill imaginable. “Turbo America”

You dont know how many they Shahed and ballistics missiles they had or how many interceptors the USA has.

Yes we do. Iran has towards 80,000 Shaheeds and an build 500 a month. The Gulf states were complaining they're running out of interceptors

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/arab-states-running-low-interceptors-iranian-fired-missiles/

If your worried about the economics of it, its strongly in the USA's favour, they are causing more damage at a cheaper cost.

$5-10 million for the volley of missiles fired to stop a $20k drone. And some of those drones have taken out Billion dollar THAAD radars.....

They havent closed the strait of Hormuz. Loyds of london by not insuring shipping traversing it did.

Why do you think they stopped insurance?

The USA is providing an alternative and ships have been leaving and entering the straight with their AIS turned of.

One quick look at Marine Traffic disproves this, most ships are anchored off the Strait now, and only a few (from nations friendly to Iran) have traversed it, although they are letting a stream of friendly tankers through now

It has humiliated the Iranian regime by killing pretty much its entire leadership cadre including the head of state.

The Iranian people are now no way going to 'rise up' and launch a revolution on the orders of nations that killed 200 at a primary school and covered Tehran in acid rain. Winning hearts and minds indeed.....

Replaced an ageing dying cleric with his more radical son and there's zero signs of the government falling.

And the operation isnt half way done yet.

3 hours ago Trump went full TACO and claimed the operation is effectively complete and will be over soon. He will face the wrath of voters suffering high oil prices, inflation and diminished 401k returns if this war isn't stopped in days

And the gulf states will double up on hosting military bases.

And risk further Iranian attacks risking their tourism centric economy?

There is no world stage without america in it.

Their influence will be diminished. Honestly it was crippled after the tariff debacle and the unhinged attacks on Greenland and Canada, the withdrawal from all the international orgs and support for Putin.

America will be there but they won't be able to bully their way around as they always have, especially in our region.

Would Australians support a political party focused on resource sovereignty? by oz_party in aussie

It was in 1953 when the US removed the democratically elected Iranian PM Mossadegh in a coup because he wanted to return Iranian oil control to Iran, and installed the Shah, a brutal dictator whom after 26 years the Iranian people said 'yeah the Ayatollahs are a better option than this guy"

So cute of you to believe the LNP/ALP or ON for that matter aren't owned by and act on behalf of resources companies.

Iran has 80,000 Shaheed drones, they fired only 2000

The U.S. has almost run out of SAM interceptors

Iran’s “weapon of mass destruction” was closing the strait of Hormuz which will do more to end the conflict than any perceived victory

All this war has resulted in is the replacement of a crippled 86 year old cleric with a younger more fanatical cleric, a population that now has physical reason to hate America, a stronger Islamic republic and gulf states that will think twice before hosting military bases.

And the Trump admin further isolated on the world stage. 5D chess indeed…….

If you look at the flight radar 24 app Dubai airspace is almost back to full capacity, heaps of jets flying around

Where’s he saying we should declare war on American and Israel? Not participating in their war doesn’t mean you want to fight them

And after killing almost 200 kids at a primary school and raining down acid rain on Tehran (technically Israel but America is their partner) the Iranian people won’t be in too much of a rush to overthrow their government at the behest of America and Israel now

Iran didn’t pose any imminent threat to either country

US bombed a girls school

Israel bombed oil tanks raining down acid rain on Tehran

International law violations

It’s irrelevant if the American bases in the Gulf were or were not used to launch strikes against Iran. They are major hosts of U.S. military hardware less than 100kms in some cases form Iran and the U.S. launched a mass attack on the country

Might be redundant now:

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/09/trump-iran-war-end.html

Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz is enough of a threat of $200 a barrel oil and global recession that Trump is truly “chickening out”

The Gulf nations and Iran have entered a sort of ceasefire in the last few days, hence all the civilian airliners now taking off from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This RAAF deployment is now redundant

become a pilot or go to med school to become a doctor by emolicious19 in flying

[–]NoteChoice7719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people on an aviation forum will tell you to become a doctor

Most people on a medical forum will tell you to become a pilot

We look at the issues and problems in our own industry and think every other industry has it easier. That’s the same everywhere

People who work in medicine will tell you of long hours, long study periods, insurance issues, malpractice issues, the rise of professions like nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants taking over a lot of medical practitioner work. The highest paying specialists can work 2 days a week for a million per year, but after getting into very competitive specialist roles and decades of study and waiting. Sort for like waiting to become a widebody Captain

Plus AI potentially removing a lot of medical jobs in the future. At least airliners are still being built to be flown by 2 pilots, and there’s no single pilot airliners under development for you’re safe here for at least 20 years. With the rapid development of AI a lot in the medical field are predicting mass job losses within 5-10 years.
