I think Trump will declare victory, but Iran won’t stop until their terms are met.

A lot of that Natural Gas is LNG and the largest exporter of that is Qatar.

AI has this to say LFP batteries generally last longer in terms of cycle life (3,000–5,000 cycles) than LFMP, but LFMP offers higher energy density while still maintaining good longevity (2,000–3,500 cycles). In cars, LFP is the most proven for durability, while LFMP is emerging as a balance between range and lifespan.

How about 200?

Quite the opposite. As oil prices skyrocket, the pressure on Trump to end Israel's war will be immense. He will have no choice but to declare his usual "self-styled" victory. Will Iran accept this? I doubt it, they will push for him to meet their terms, and the world will pressure him to capitulate.

Religious hate is nonsense because religion is nonsense. Evolution tells us creation in religion is nonsense. Common sense tells us that if there were a creator, he would behave in a certain way. He would treat all his/her subjects as equal (there goes Christianity with belief being a prerequisite for heaven, there goes Judaism with one group of people only being chosen, there goes Islam with it's believers better than non-believers and men better than women). Would a benevolent creator want to be worshipped? the whole idea is preposterous. Would he be violent? Jealous? again completely preposterous. But we have this hate because "My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend".

This is how Iran will win this war. The pain to the rest of the world (and America) will simply become too great. When will Republicans realise that sending billions to Israel every year and joining Israel in this war is not MAGA, it's MAPA (making America poorer again).

Whatever Russia does with its Shahed Iranian drones, Ukraine can do with its British and American weapons. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

I’m not going to continue this conversation @Nick Carter icp , it’s off topic and you’re bickering. @Jeff the Chef has already made his position clear. Let it drop Nick. No reply needed or expected.

I don’t understand why republicans support Israel it just MAPA (makes America poorer again). All that money pouring into Israel and nothing coming back

Jeff challenged Nick to meet physically to discuss the Gaza situation. I tried to raise money for charity by wagering Nick he wouldn’t turn up. A week later Nick admitted he wasn’t in the country for the meeting and wanted the wager paid to his PayPal or GFM account, when questioned he admitted by “charity” he meant his airline ticket. Jeff and I have a different definition of charity.

That’s unfair. It’s only untrue if his lips move.

Allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons would achieve Israel’s goal. A nuclear armed Iran could never use them because they would immediately by annihilated. Allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons would achieve the world’s goal. Israel/USA would have to leave them alone for fear of escalation. The world would not be subjected to the oil starvation brought about by the aggression of both Israel and the USA. I’m aware of Iran’s rhetoric but I would remind you of the old proverb which begins “Sticks and Stones…” I generally don’t approve of might is right. Nobody has the right to forbid Iran from doing something when they have already done it. It’s crass hypocrisy.

It won’t do any harm to keep your tank full.

Watching any petrol station in Thailand will tell you that the Thais think there's going to be a problem. They are hoarding fuel.

I don't know, were his lips moving?

Attacking critical civilian infrastructure like desalination plants is a war crime. Nobody will be doing that.

We are already seeing hoarding in Thailand. I've seen guys with large bottles at petrol stations and another guy filling 55 gallon drums on his pickup truck. I do think Thailand will have shortages and possibly rolling backouts too and clearly people are preparing for the former.

You really are short of comprehension. I must have told you a dozen times now that I am right of center.

As I said, the Europeans immediately jumped and came to your aid when you invoked Article 5. They have done nothing to give you any hate. I don't understand why you would want Russia to roll over them. You couldn't then ask for their help again. My point is supporting Israel is exactly the opposite of MAGA. It makes America poorer and you get nothing back in return. That money and troops could be getting you Cuba, or Greenland, or Canada instead, that would MAGA. Israel just makes you poorer. If America didn't support Israel I suspect Iran would be an ally and a partner to America. All that oil you would get. Supporting Israel definitely MAPA (Makes America Poorer Again).

She sounds dishonest, a bit like someone wanting to steal from a charity.

You guys raise some interesting points. I'm thinking you're Trump supporters and MAGA, would I be right? What I don't get is why MAGA would support Israel? It does nothing to make America great again, it's just a drain of money and you get nothing back, so why Israel? what do you get in return? Are you happy that Netanyahu dragged you into a war with Iran? As Rubio said, you only went into Iran because they did. I get MAGA but I don't get Israel. Israel to America is MAPA, Make America Poorer Again. What about Iran, didn't Trump promise no more wars? What does America get from spending billions fighting in Iran and getting it's people killed there? @TedG I'm reading hate from you, why would you want Russia to roll over Europe? what have the Europeans ever done to you? They came to your aid when you invoked NATO's article 5, no if's or but's, they were there immediately. @Yagoda you support Netanyahu, a wanted man. You think he's a scholar but he failed at Harvard. Why do you think he's a scholar?

If Iran wants to build Nuclear Weapons, Russia will be only too happy to sell them weapons grade enriched material.

Typical of the Americans to join in when we British were already winning (sound familiar?)

This is why other countries must follow Spain's lead and not get involved.
