"General Dan #Caine, 22nd chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), warns #Trump that striking #Iran risks a prolonged conflict and U.S. casualties. This is as close to telling Trump he’s an idiot scumbag who is going to destroy the country as he can get". "They say that 'Lloyd #James Austin III, retired United States Army general who served as the 28th United States Secretary of Defense (SecDef. 'Secretary of War', SecWar) said: 'I wrote a letter to the president asking him not to go to war with Iran'. While there are social media claims as of February 2026 suggesting former Secretary of Defense #LloydAustin wrote a letter to the President #DonaldTrump asking him not to go to war with Iran, there is no official verification from the Department of Defense or major news outlets that such a letter exists". [...] Closing (or effectively disrupting) the Strait of #Hormuz would trigger one of the most severe energy and economic shocks in modern history. The strait is the narrow chokepoint connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean — the only maritime exit for #oil and #gas from major producers like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Iran itself. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA, based on 2024 averages, largely unchanged into early 2025): ~20–20.3 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil, condensate, and petroleum products — roughly 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption and over 25–30% of global seaborne oil trade. ~20% of global LNG trade (primarily Qatar, the world’s top exporter). 84% of crude/condensate and 83% of LNG heads to Asia (China, India, Japan, and South Korea alone take ~69% of the crude flows). As of late February 2026, the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran is considered a "nightmare scenario" for global energy markets and the world economy. Following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on February 28, 2026, concern over such a move has intensified. Economic and Energy Impacts: the #StraitOfHormuz is the world's most vital oil chokepoint, with approximately 20 million barrels per day (20% of global demand) passing through it. Oil Price Surge: Analysts estimate that a closure, even for one day, could cause Brent crude prices to immediately spike to between $120 and $150 per barrel. A sustained closure could push prices toward $180–$200 per barrel, levels not seen in inflation-adjusted terms since 1979. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Disruptions: About 20% of global LNG shipments, primarily from Qatar, move through the Strait. A blockage would force Asian and European buyers to compete for limited non-Gulf supplies, potentially pushing European gas benchmarks (TTF) above €90.00/MWh. #Economy, Global #Inflation and #Recession: A sustained closure of more than 30 days would push the probability of a global recession above 75%. Global inflation could accelerate by 2–4 percentage points as higher energy costs ripple through supply chains for food, manufacturing, and transportation [...] x.com/RuanoFaxas/status/2027… #UnitedStates #America #USA #EEUU #Tariffs #Tax #Taxes #Price #Prices #Unemployment #Bankruptcy #Foreclosure #Farmers #Ranchers #Election #Midterm #Midterms #Terrorism #Epstein #Putin #Kompromat #Israel #Netanyahu #Khamenei #MiddleEast
