Drill for that oil, baby, drill

Oh look, another oil war.

- JENNIE RIDYARD

When I heard about the US-Israeli bombing of Iran, and Iran’s retaliation - Dubai hotels on fire, thoughts and prayers for the influencers - the first thing I did was fill my car with petrol, because the Gulf of Persia's narrowest strait is largely controlled by Iran and a fifth of all oil is shipped through there.

Otherwise, no surprises.

We're liberating the people, declared the administration yet again; we're preventing nuclear weapon proliferation (like the apparent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2002). Oil? Who said oil?
