Oil prices jump as Houthis seize Red Sea coastline, Iran ties cited
THIS COULD SEND OIL PRICES THROUGH THE ROOF Hormuz is already crippled. Saudi Arabia just shut a major pipeline after drone strikes. Now the Houthis are threatening Bab el-Mandeb, the other major oil chokepoint. If that strait gets choked off too, $100 oil is the bottom, not the ceiling.
The whole world is suffering because we made an idiot the most powerful person in the world. 🤦🏻♂️
I will dare to suggest....we will see gas lines at the pumps and there will be a limit as to the gallons you get..... I have a memory of this....and sadly some people can get really ugly waiting in those those lines...
2 years ago he said $2 gas soon!
There will be gas lines by the midterms.
It’s just going to get worse, especially with an idiot in the White House. We could have had Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. None of this would be happening. The East Wing of the White House would be intact, USAID and cancer research would still be in place, but no, we have insanity.
And MAGA will blame Biden
The Houthis only knew to target Saudi Arabia's pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, because Donald Trump and his pointless war taught them how important the Strait of Hormuz is for getting leverage over the United States. Donald is smart that way.
This is how Trump treats his allies The Saudis-specificaly Trump's "good friend" Crown Prince MBS-apparently begged the US for help. But the Houthis ALSO spoke with Trump and asked him to stay out of it On his way to a golf tournament in Ireland-priorities, you see-Trump agreed not to intervene
Well, invading Yemen to suppress this issue was not on my bingo card, but you can see where this could go in a not improbable and plausible scenario.
DAYmn! I'm so happy we drive EVs. F #FossilFuels - and the addicts that buy them!
Oil prices alone could decide the midterms….
🛎️ ding ding ding. And the loser is . . . Everyone. Good job, you stupid effing maggots.
👀 JFC. Think prices are high enough now? Trump's shilling lies on how great the economy is, bribing idiot cult w/a $5,000 check. Rs have to defend this laughable BS going into midterms. Trump's options: 👉 steal it/create chaos &/or 👉 take the L, blame Rs, then Ds for not fixing 📺 t2m.co/YAqY9QnF
TRUMP IS TAKING US BACK TO THE OIL CRISIS OF 1973! I remember gas rationing and that you could only get gas on odd or even days. Fun times!
You cannot be fkg serious anymore America
$8 dollars a gallon? Can we FIRE TRUMP AND VANCE? Yes, if enough vote blue.
So I’m pretty sure this is to disguise naphtha shortages from the Iran War. www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/j...
Oh… I can dig this conspiracy.
Could be but millennial momtent creators are on TikTok painting all their kids' toys eggshell right now to match their home aesthetic and it suuuucks. It's like a Pier 1 edition of a Little Tikes basketball hoop.
I mean, wouldn't be a surprise. If there's not enough for pittance needed for bag of chips, the amount needed to dye plastics on large volumes must be orders of magnitude more, even if you're make a fraction as many products.
So, inevitably colorful design will become a wealth marker and we shall be freed of the design world’s addiction to ‘tasteful’ taupe, grey, white and beige. All hail our coming psychedelic overlords!
bro the whole car is a giant hunk of plastic. imo its just regular Contempt
gray house, white toys - how unstimulating. I refuse to believe this is the new parenting choice of designer decor vs actually raising a child
We're at the point where real life is imitating Gumball episodes
If I were a hack god trying to unsubtly convey a message to humanity about the horrors of war I would simply drain the color from reality in the hopes that any of them would understand symbolism.
The world is losing color ✨
i don't know how true or relevant this is but there's a lot of people confidently insisting that no it's actually the one thing they've heard of, which is tiktok trends, and i don't know how you go through life like that
This is a consequence of American warmongering that I hadn’t considered. It’s draining the color away.
First they came for the toy cars and i said nothing, then they came for the chip bags and I said nothing, and when they came for my fancy popsicles there was no one left to speak for me
as someone allergic to azo/naptha dyes...god i fucking HOPE SO
Mideast setbacks piling up: Iran continues to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, Iran-aligned militias in Iraq threatening Saudi infrastructure, the Houthis tightening their grip near Bab el-Mandeb shipping lane. Meanwhile, Saudi oil production has plunged. Get ready for even higher gas & diesel prices!
This is going to continue until an administration is elected in the US in 2028, the Iranians have no interest in negotiating with the Trump regime now.
Wait, I thought Irans military was, dare I say, "obliterated"??????
Trump is so proud of the mess he created. Trump has hit the bottom. Going into Iran with no plan whatsoever has pushed Trump to the bottom. Worst President ever. Jimmy Carter is no longer the bottom. Trump beat him for worst
If Elon Musk wasn't such a prick, this MIGHT have forced us to all get Teslas.
Hitler on the big screen at a Scott County Republican event in Iowa last week. They say the quiet part out loud. Wow!
Now can we start to talk about the fuel/gas that the big shipping container ships run on?? If the big ships start to fail with fuel prices it will make the diesel problem look like kids play. The only reason 18 wheelers run is because of containers brought by ships.. and that supply is depleted.
If you think gas prices are high because of Trump's failed war, wait until next week! Iranian drones bombed the massive Saudi oil pipeline shutting down oil flow to ports. This is huge. Trump told he us he DESTROYED Iran's military. He of course lied. Now we pay for it! www.bbc.com/news/article...
I saw a person posting yesterday that diesel was $9.999 at some gas stations in Calif. trucking companies as well as owner/operators cannot sustain at those prices. I fear along with increased prices, we will start to see scarcity of food and other consumer goods.
Oh I hope the Saudis pull their money out of Jerad’s fund now, to threaten Rump until he does something he will never be able to successfully accomplish (control Iran).
What's extra funny is that no company on earth buys oil less than a year in advance so while your petrol prices go through the roof, the additional costs won't hit the petrol companies until next year, meaning they'll make enormous profits. Hooray for capitalism!
Here's what I don't understand... Markets crave stability. It makes it easier to plan for a more profitable future. And yet the corporate class is all in on Trump who is nothing if not a supreme chaos agent. His brand is turmoil NOT stability. Why aren't the markets punishing his incompetence?
The war is just part of the reason for high gas prices. Gas companies are raking in RECORD PROFITS, and tRump bought their stocks as the war began, so he’s profiting too.
The Houtis just captured control of the Red Sea we are going to be in mess worse than now
Yet our “Free Press” barely even reported on this! Censorship keeping the public misinformed! This is not what our founding fathers intended the First Amendment to be used! The free press was to hold truth to power! Yet today the press is owned by The very Billionaires who are destroying America!💙💙💙
I find maps help orient my very under-educated Middle East geography brain. After engaging in so many protests in Portland OR against the Iraq war, I still can't place the country on the correct border with Iran 🫤. lame
If the strait of hormuz is closed, at least we have a backup pipeline to keep prices ... [finger to ear] ... I'm being told we're fucked ...
I wish Democrats would make a bigger deal out of the fact that the Trump Administration has spent ~$4 billion paying companies not to build wind farms.
It’s ok surely the President is working on this emergency problem Oh checks notes…. he is currently on a trip to promote his privately owned golf course in Ireland Yes sir we are Fucked www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/u...
Canada should now turn off both the oil tap and electricity tap to the US. I’m only half joking.
if the president was *intentionally* trying to annihilate the U.S., how would that look different from current state? nuke the west coast?
The only Joy is that conservative trash has made oil and gas their identity  Everything they do their giant trucks, their RVs, their farm equipment relies on it I hope they all get completely fucking wrecked
Is this what they meant about the war against climate change?
Saudi Arabia announces a full shutdown of its East-West crude oil pipeline, which was attacked in multiple locations across the Riyadh and Madinah regions on Thurs morning, with the damage being addressed, per the Ministry of Energy. This comes as initial reports from diplomatic channels say the
pipeline has suffered catastrophic damage in at least 8 locations; satellite data showed a fire burning along the pipeline route SE of Medina with a black smoke plume now 115 km long. The pipeline, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through Hormuz, has a capacity of 7mn bbl day.
And trump is out fucking golfing in Ireland.
Somebody needs to lock Trump up and find some actual folx who know how to negotiate us out of this Middle East quagmire.
Trump even shits on his dance partners. This is another image that is seared into my memory just like J6
Another trump backer wondering why the leopard is eating THEIR face.
hmm, wonder how this is aging with MBS?
#StayReadyCrew 👀 This is damn sure going to drive up oil prices & all goods that depend on oil to go through the supply chain. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...
Happy to see you back after your day off. 👋🏼 Not just fuel - but choking the Bab al-Mandab will disrupt the movement of the goods themselves. Also contributing to increased cost. Even IF everything is *perfect* right ”after the midterms” - we’re going to continue to feel this into at least 2028
And people aren’t even discussing fuel for heating this winter.
And the fissure under our feet keeps widening . . .
Id say we're going back to horses but trumps trying to round them up for meat processing
I filled up today. Got a 20¢/gal discount, thanks to the rewards program with the local grocer that had the $2.98/lb ground beef last week. Each purchase adds to the “cents off” discount with a partner gas station chain.
Has anyone kept track of how many times the war has ended? I believe that Iran said that they wouldn't negotiate with this regime. Do people remember when he said that we don't need the oil that comes through the Strait of Hormuz? Obviously we do #USDemocracy atlas.taboolanews.com/new-summary-...
This is what I imagine the Iraqis do every time the creature talks about them.
President Donald Trump has claimed the U.S. has already "won" the war against Iran at least 66 to 106 times in various reports and media analyses, despite the ongoing conflict. Not sure about ended
