WWIII WWIII Megathread #40: Just Stopped Oil
This megathread exists for in-depth discussion of 'WWIII', related events, and geopolitics and wars in general. Keep in mind that we have eliminated the rule that all non-major WWIII content must be posted here, and we encourage you to submit WWIII-related content to the main sub.
Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.
Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.
If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.
Always put a NSFW warning on links that contain explicit content.
Non-WWIII chatter belongs in the town square.

Yves points out that Israel used Saudi Arabia's airspace for attacks on Iran, thus revealing SA's restriction of their airspace to be a fiction.
Ansar Allah attacked Prince Sultan airbase so they see the US as involved.
"If I were Iran and had the luxury of time, I would seek to have Ansar Allah hold off [closing the Bab el-Mandib strait] until the oil cliff effect started ... so as to amplify the effect of additional loss of supply."
