If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

I’m sure Trump anticipated all of this happening and has a great plan.

How do you even begin to recover from a disaster like this? How do you clean up even after the acute phase is over? This is horrific.

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.

It’s bloody across Asia. Japan down about 6% and Korea 8%. Get ready for $VIX > 40 tomorrow. See you then.

Maybe some sort of fund that we can save the windfalls and earn interest on while not touching the principle by law. Maybe some sort of a trust fund, ya definitely a heritage savings trust fund. πŸ€” πŸ˜‰

To give you a sense of how sensitive Alberta’s provincial budget is to global oil prices:

At the current 1-year forward strip for crude oil, Alberta’s budget would go from a $9B deficit to an **$8B SURPLUS**

Begs the question of whether AB should consider hedging these windfall gains at some point

The climate lobby has been trying to defeat the petrochemical industry for decades. are you saying that it had to come down to a destructive war that nobody wants, to accelerate the transition?

Premier says price jump happening too late to trigger gas tax relief: "price >$80 has to be there for 3 months"

www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...

But regulations say it's only the avg of 20 days prior to March 16 to alter the April 1 tax rate.

Turns out, we're on the cusp of hitting the threshold.

And that's WTI price (which I just learned the other day). WCS price is before "payout"

Who should benefit from the oil price increases caused by the US/Israel war on Iran? Royalty rates are generally price/profit sensitive. This is especially true for AB oil sands. After a project achieves β€œpayout” AB’s royalty increases with price as depicted here: 1/ #abpoli #cdnpoli

$200 is a definite possibility since we are still well under for inflation adjustment bsky.app/profile/oils...

We'll be hitting $150 a lot sooner than expected. A possible $200 by summer is in the cards. More effective than a carbon tax

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.
