"But instead, they should blame Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. If they would have just left Israel alone, things could have turned out much differently. Iran could have lived in peace."

Sigh. Michael, Iran has tried to tread a very careful, non-escalatory line with Israel, despite the latter's genociding a nation in defiance of UNSC Resolution 2728 calling for a ceasefire, its repeated, provocative attacks on Iranian assets legally in Syria at the behest of the government there, and Israel's attack on the Iran Consulate in Damascus was a straight-up cassus belli for war, as per the Vienna Convention. Why are you covering for this? I have no desire to see Israel destroyed or indeed enveloped in a war, but Israel started this fight with Iran when it attacked its consulate!

If Israel retaliates we get WW3. The Bible tells us that Israel starts it! Russia will become embroiled as it has already used back-channels to tell the US that if it joins an attack on Iran that Russia will go to Iran's aid and defense. And I think this will also be true of China.

As for oil prices - forget $150 per barrel; rather think more like $250 or even $300, but probable higher as the Straits of Hormuz will be shut indefinitely, and key suppliers will be at war with each other.

In short, we are at the trip wire moment of catastrophe, brokered by a headstrong, despotic government in Tel Aviv finally getting its opportunity to bring about the arrival of its long-awaited Messiah. Billions may die, and somehow you're managing to blame Iran for this...?

I don't know how to tell you this, but I'll try. If Israel doesn't attack Iran, it will set the stage for a dollar bond crisis. This can all happen tomorrow. Gold can shoot up to $2500 an ounce, as investors will flock to it and avoid treasuries. The USD/JPY is already causing mayhem in the carry trade. What I'm saying, is expensive gasoline might be a way of "kicking the can" down the road for a little longer.

Knowing without a doubt that God is in full control and orchestrating all of this, (judgment of the nations) it's humbling to see that He's bringing His word to pass.

Russia has it's ship with hypersonic missile's in the Mediterranean Sea ready to support Iran, so the price of gas will soon take a back seat to survival.

""For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13 And all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be to their renown on the day that I appear in My glory,” declares the Lord God.""

This is worth watching. A little bit on the front end regarding the Russo-Ukraine conflict, and the remainder regarding Israel-Iran. Balanced and thoughtful. Col. Macgregor on Judge Napolitano's YT channel.

Ever hear the phrase, "elections have consequences"? The Dipsy Doodle sitting in the White House has made one catastrophic decision after another. Gee. I wonder which country is sitting on a supply of oil that would last hundreds of years? Oh yeah. It's the USA.

But instead of "drill, baby drill", Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office. His ludicrous "green new deal" regulations make extracting oil next to impossible. If that wasn't bad enough, to keep gas prices low (and make the economy look good), ole Joe has seen fit to deplete our strategic petroleum reserves to a level where we only have a 17 day supply remaining. Oops!

Then that begs the question as to whether Iran's attack of Israel was funded by the billions of dollars that our beloved government freed up to Iran last November. Perhaps that wasn't the brightest move.

The only good part of Bidenomics was the stock market and now that is faltering. The Dow has lost over 1200 points in the last five days. What will happen to the economy and inflation, if oil prices (and everything else) skyrocket? People are barely getting by as it is. Credit card and mortgage defaults will escalate at alarming rates. What will that do to our already struggling banks? The house of cards (a.k.a. the US economy) is about to tumble down all around us. I just hope it happens before the November election. I see more and more people every day realizing what a disaster OBiden's policies are.

For those of you who still believe that Bidumb is a wonderful president, I'll check back in with you in a few weeks.

We have heard this for the last 30 years. Every international conflict will result in gasoline prices doubling. True, they have doubled over time from $1.85 to $3.70 (in my area) but have moved up and down with no standard trend outside of inflationary causes.

But wait, why should I be worried about energy prices when every five minutes someone is claiming WW3 has started and it's going to go nuclear? This is why I ignore the mainstream news like the plague it is. It's nothing but a never ending clown show.

Belize is one of the most poorest countries on earth and income there is less than $600 a month and gas now is $7.00 a gallon US. Life is already getting very hard in Belize.
