Your answer is shhite. I am calling it before you provide it.

Experience triumphs again.

I think it's because you realise you're asking the wrong question, deliberately so.

Experience tells you that you're about to be called out, so rather than following your usual pattern, abandoning the thread in a panic and resurfacing days or weeks later with a Babylon Bee post once you think the dust has settled, you're trying something different this time. A pre-emptive dismissal. Swat away what's being posted before it even arrives, and maybe, just maybe, you won't have to deal with it at all.

Anything to avoid that relentless collision of reality with the carefully constructed safe space you inhabit.

Because that collision, more than anything else, is simply too much to bear. And it's that, not the argument, not the evidence, not anything being said to you, that explains your permanent state of victimhood.

More terrorism, thanks to Trump.

If someone slips on a banana peel in New York it's Trump's fault. Roll Eyes

Terrorist attacks will increase in the west, thanks 1500% to Trump.

I don't mean 50%. I mean 14 - 1500%.

All you're doing is advocating to do nothing i.e. kowtow to Islamic terrorist threats.

Another leftwing appeasing softcock.

Here's someone else (one of many, I'm sure) who is also responsible, Bobby.

From the video in the link in my earlier post.

Selfish pr!ck. "I'm alright, Jack and stuff everyone else".

Someone should have that printed on a shirt.

Oh, and why did they need to blur his face? Name and shame the bastards, I say.

Name & shame the servos as well.

As soon as he pulled up in the driveway with those non suitable water containers & started to pump fuel into them the servo should have switched off the pump.

The only reason they didn't was because of the inflated price gouging.

Are we on our own?

Has Trump hung us out to dry?

His advisers, those he hadn't already fired, warned him about this, yet he took no action to secure the Strait before starting his attacks on Iran.

We are paying the price for his incompetence.

It doesn't matter that he keeps saying "Nobody knew".

He just didn't listen. He was warned.

So yes, he has hung us out to dry, with the rest of the world.

He's also obliterated a lot of the soft power the US had via USAID, so I don't know how, if ever, the US will be able to recover on the global stage. Their reputation is certainly down the drain. This idea that Trump would bring the world to respect the US again has been just another promise to add to his list of failures.

He didn't make any of those decisions on his own.

Pecca doesn't care if you make sense, prove him wrong and produce the truth of it.
He's just here to troll and propaganda his lies, fabrications and Homa-erotic fantasies.
The more he ignores what you have to say that doesn't support his posts, the more he salivates for a battered Sav at carnivals.

Why is it Trump's fault, crybabies? 😭

It's already been laid out, repeatedly, and in more detail than this argument frankly deserves.

Every supposed justification for this war traces back to one of two realities. Either it exists because Donald Trump unilaterally shredded the nuclear agreement negotiated under Barack Obama, or it was materially worsened by that decision to the point where escalation became inevitable.

That isn't spin, it isn't partisan framing, it's causality.

You don't get to detonate the constraints, dismantle the inspections regime, reintroduce maximum pressure, and then act surprised when the situation deteriorates into open conflict. That outcome was baked in the moment the deal was torn up.

Inescapable fact.

It was also in Project2025.

If it weren't for Trump, diplomacy would have prevailed and war, all this needless death and global suffering wouldn't be needed.

Absolute BS. Iran has been behind all the global Islamic terrorism for decades.

Its about time their bluff was called.

All you leftards have got is softcock appeasement.

Roll over woof woof.

It's still a 50/50 bet, really.

They'll either cancel the elections, citing war with Iran as the reason.

Or, they'll rig them.

As I said, they've already openly admitted that they'll use ICE terrorists to intimidate and deter voters who aren't white.

That's actually pretty lowball racist shyte right there ... so sickly self loathing leftist of you.

I'd suggest that's pretty fair, Bobby.

You?

As if Trump is gunna pay reparations. Grin

Then we can expect a collapse bigger than anything we've ever seen before.

Thirty years of economic growth will be erased. Worse than covid, the 70s oil shocks, even the Great Depression.

You know what the latter led to, ja?

Just so, as every schoolboy knows.

If only someone had warned US citizens before they voted for the convicted felon.

If only they had warned the morons here, dear.

What? are you referring to the morons here that returned the Albanese govt to power?

You'd have a point then ...no?

It looks we will run out within one month.
There are already 100s of petrol stations with no fuel left.

This will cost lives – possible examples:
people unable to get medicine and food,
ambulances that can't rescue injured or dying people,
police that can't answer distress calls,
people who run out of fuel on motorways and get out of their cars
only to be run down and killed,
trucks that can't deliver essential food and other items.

But of course. We're hardly going to transition to EVs in the next month, now are we?

Ask Lee and the old boy. They've been doing their homework.

So I'm curious. Given we're in for a massive recession, who do you blame?

That's a question.

I blame Trump unless he can make sure we get the fuel we need.
Some is on the way now.

I have some good news:

https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/us-ships-coming-to-ou...

US ships ‘coming to our rescue’ in fuel crisis
Australia relies on Asia for fuels. But three large shipments of petrol and diesel are on their way to our shores from the US, in a move one expert is calling “highly unusual”.

March 25, 2026

https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/map-shows-brutal-trut...

Map shows brutal truth about Australia’s fuel crisis as the country sits on 42 years’ worth of oil reserves
Petrol prices are biting as war throws the nation into a crisis — but experts say there’s enough oil in the ground to supply Aussies for decades.

March 24, 2026 – 9:28AM

Don't be redeculous.

Quote:

“It will likely be at a minimum a few years before you make a discovery, and then several years after that before you get commercial scale production, so this is really about ensuring our supply security in the 2030s rather than to address the immediate crisis.”

We'll have EVs before we start fracking shale oil in the middle of nowhere.

As every schoolboy knows.

Indeed - you may think so - but in reality every school boy should know that :-

you "frack" shale seams for "gas"

and you "mine" shale seams, crush and process shale for "oil".
