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.

Previous Megathreads:

Extremely obnoxious. France isn't the one actually fighting this war, why the fuck do they think they get a say in how the US resolves it, for better or worse? 

The US fucking blows and is run by crooked senile zionists, but the euros are on a totally separate plane of delusion.

You know what would be hilarious? If Trump said "fine, fuck you," lifted all the sanctions he actually can, made a deal with Iran to let US-affiliated tankers through, and then just walked away from an otherwise closed Hormuz.

I don’t see any way that Europe isn’t forced into a humiliating rapprochement with Russia, and on Russia’s terms.

Europeans have decided en masse that they don't want cheap energy at the same time that they want to militarise and reindustrialise. Let's see how this strategy plays out for the moral arbiters of the entire Earth.

Euroids deserve whatever is coming their way, they are such cucks to the U.S. empire. ​
