What matters is the here and now.
Not the MAGA fairy tale future.
Oil soars past $100 a barrel, stocks plunge as US-Israel war on Iran rages
Oil prices have surged past $100 a barrel amid the fallout from the United States and Israel’s war on Iran.
Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose by more than 30 percent on Sunday, at one point topping $119 a barrel, as fears grew of prolonged disruption to global energy supplies.
Oil prices dropped back to about $110 per barrel after The Financial Times reported that the Group of Seven finance ministers would discuss the release of petroleum reserves in coordination with the International Energy Agency.
US President Donald Trump, who campaigned heavily on cost-of-living concerns before the 2024 election, brushed off the spike in prices.
“Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!”
US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright also downplayed the prospect of rising energy prices earlier on Sunday, telling the Face the Nation programme on CBS News that any increase in prices at the petrol pump would be “temporary”.
Crude oil prices have surged by about 50 percent since the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on February 28.
Everyone who is feeling the pain at the pump do not give a **** about that.
All what they care about is right now and that Turd Face PROMISED that he would lower prices and not start any new wars.
This is an unpopular and unprovoked war that no one wants and certainly no one wants to suffer the hight costs it brings which are only going to go even higher for a very long time.
Of which Turd Face does not give a **** about since he is only trying to get richer by invading other oil rich and weaker to us countries.
