Crude Oil Should be $200/barrel Or More

I hear that Iran will have to surrender because it is suffering economically. Iran can survive for another 4 months, can the US?

Oil facilities have been bombed the ME production has fallen, countries have compensated by using up their strategic oil reserves which is only a Band-Aid. The oil price is based on future deliveries and the future is coming fast.

Time is on Iran's side, what will America do when the price of crude can no longer be manipulated? Will Krasnov's fossil fuel friends suck it up and keep gas at 7 - 8 dollars a gallon when crude hits $200/barrel?

Biden appealed to Congress for hearings/investigations why they kept the price high. Fucking over Americans because they wanted a malleable dummy in the WH. Over and over again.

It's unclear what hardship it wouldn't endure and for how long. It didn't have a booming economy, or will it have free elections.

And Trump has shown to be weak. They have no reason to feel they're losing.
