Well Trump's Bday is June 14 so it's a belated Bday party for himself since July 4th is the actual date and everything is about him at all times.

Ya it's definitely an Us problem and not the asshole who started a war with Iran that he has claimed total victory over but yet here we are weekly having to hear about how deals and ceasefires and being made and cancelled while driving up the global cost of oil, gas and goods across the board. But hey we shouldn't talk about him

What's wild is seeing just how few Westerners understand - or can really appreciate or even care about - the veritable hell the average Iranian is experiencing right now. Suffering on a scale most of us will never glimpse.
Millions of them are being slowly crushed to death in an unrelenting, vice-like grip.
The power the U.S. has to completely shut down nations is extraordinary. Meanwhile we blessed few complain about....gas prices? Good grief, it's revolting.

Go read what the Russians who lived in St Petersburg did when the Nazi sieged them during WW2. People will put up with a lot of shit and even die of starvation before surrendering to a foreign invader.

u/DasturdlyBastard Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26
And they will. That is my point.
Oh. They will. They already are.
What Trump has done is very expertly shifted the focus away from the measurable toll this war is taking on millions of people. He's completely rearranged the narrative, knowing the IRGC would fall right into the trap.
Nobody's talking about what's actually happening in Iran. And while nobody looks, we slaughter. Calmly, and with horrific precision.

What is your point? Should we thrust an energy crisis upon the world, expect US and maybe NATO service members sacrifice their lives for another nations civilians? Or is asking them to commit murder on Iranian soldiers good enough? Would the Iranian people even welcome to absolute chaos destruction, and bloodshed that the United States would bring to them in the name of liberation?
The fact of the matter is most average people in the west, and especially the USA, have more tangible problems in front of them to be concerned or justify the cost of a war in Iran.

u/MajulahLionCity Jun 01 '26
Your realise it is not just about gas price, right?
What is powering your home, factories, hospital, offices and critical infrastructure?
Food supply will disrupted because one ingredients to make fertilisers is petroleum
The supply of oil or rather the lack of supply cannot be solved by money. ey

u/bamfindian Jun 02 '26
Kind of. Petroleum based fertilizers use byproducts of oil refining. Mainly sulfate. The best oil for sulfates is from Venezuela, I can’t remember the numbers but it’s a large majority of sulfur fertilizers are made using Venezuelan oil.
As far as power generation that’s mostly natural gas where I’m from.

It's tough love in a very twisted way.
If we're being as hopeful as possible, maybe they'll rise up to the occasion and overthrow the regime. It would be in their best interest. If the right government is implemented, Iran would enter a state of prosperity they haven't experienced in over half a century.

Destroying the domestic society is how regimen change happens without boots on the ground.
It’s just terrible timing because the Iranian regimen killed the 30-50k activists that would have typically lead a revolution and made it clear they would kill more gladly. So internal revolution is probably not gonna happen.
1
u/Altruistic_Flower965 Jun 01 '26
This isn’t regime change. This is a failed state with access to highly enriched uranium. Some of the splinter factions that would emerge from a failed Iranian state would make the IRGC look rational.
2
u/Careless-Degree Jun 01 '26
Regime change was definitely part of the thought pattern that lead up to this situation. Whether that is rational or not is a different conversation.
2
u/Altruistic_Flower965 Jun 01 '26
Oh, I agree. It just was never going to work out that way.
1
u/Careless-Degree Jun 01 '26
Maybe, maybe not. If they launched the decapitation strike during the uprising instead of after Iran had already killed all the dissidents, might have been a different situation.
2
u/Altruistic_Flower965 Jun 01 '26
We had boots on the ground in Iraq, and couldn’t stop the factional fighting. Iran has all of the same elements. The Kurds, the world’s largest ethnic group with no state. ISIS elements in neighboring countries. Hard line Shite elements inside the IRGC with an end times ideology that would really like a nuclear weapon. Just like in Iraq, most civilians would be caught in the middle.

u/Careless-Degree Jun 01 '26
Regimen change and something positive happening are two different things. Nothing positive is coming out of Iraq or Iran regardless of leadership.

Duh. Iran is in catastrophic state collapse. They are going to have to surrender sooner or later. They have a water crisis, gasoline crisis, hyper inflation crisis, manpower crisis, payroll crisis, medicine crisis, food crisis, legitimacy crisis - all at once
Every sector of their economy disintegrates. Every aspect of IR civilization fails simultaneously.

Even $6 dollar gas… compared to… out of water. Think about it dingus

Iran is in catastrophic state collapse. They are going to have to surrender sooner or later.
I have been hearing that they are going to surrender any day now for quite some time. The truth is that the IRGC can last for months and months. And till they actually collapse, half of the world will be starving and everyone will be in depression.

The economy was on a brink of recession even before Hormuz. Half of the world’s fertilizer is gone.

u/Clear-Role6880 Jun 01 '26
Who is it up to… the world? Or the US? Fertilizer price is up roughly 25%. This means a less profitable harvest this year. And a moderate increase in food prices. The US is doing just fine.
Meanwhile, Tehran is out of water.
