Get ready - fill up your cars with petrol and buy a sack of rice. Google AI: As of late 2025, Australia holds roughly 25 to 28 days of net-imported petrol (gasoline) in domestic reserves. The country is heavily dependent on fuel imports, with only two operational refineries remaining.

But think about all the poor buggers who will die?

What about say - an Iranian soldier driving a large truck with a huge missile on the back of it?
The Israeli jet fighters fly around looking for that and send a laser guide bomb
straight on to the target. BOOM.
That is not a good job for the Iranian soldier.

Reply #54 - Feb 19^th, 2026 at 7:06pm BTW - Iran did supply proxy army forces with money and weapons in: Iraq, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Israel and the Houthis in Yemen. They are not innocent – they up to their necks in war.

Feb 20, 2026

The US has assembled its largest aerial firepower concentration since the Iraq War, with two carriers, F-22s, F-35s, and more positioning for potential strikes on Iran amid stalled nuclear talks—bolstered by European basing and UK Typhoons/F-35Bs in support, but complicated by Trump's fresh attacks on the UK Chagos/Diego Garcia deal.
