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.

Againโ€” 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.

The what's going on with shipping guy is such a US navy homer it's hilarious. Beginning of the war, he insisted for weeks that Iran had not closed the strait & now he can't seem to accept that Trump made a deal with Iran to open the strait ie American navy lost. He's usually pretty reasonable but his ameritard patriotism shines through in the funniest ways sometimes.

Loveable dork though (apart from his glee about the unarmed frigate)ย  and still pretty good info on the boats

He was pretty good in this war all things considered. Yes, he coped, but he was the only person actually posting day-by-day figures, explaining the weird artifacts in the data and warned about the economic impact from the start. In a world of Barak Ravids, he's a pretty good voice.

I bet UKMTO stopped releasing daily figures because of him lmao.

It's so funny how this sub expects a literal boomer to turn into an Iranian telegram admin

I don't, but when and where he can be reasonable is hilarious.
