Saudi Arabia Is Now Getting Hit || Apr. 7, 2026
Iran has successfully penetrated Saudi Arabia's missile defense systems. The strikes caused major damage to energy infrastructure, and those bypass options just went out the window. If strikes continue, nearly ~7 million barrels per day could go offline for years.

Abqaiq is most commonly pronounced as ab-KAKE or ab-KAIKE (phonetic: /æbˈkeɪk/ or /æbˈkaɪk/). It is often phonetically broken down as "ab-cake," with the emphasis typically on the second syllable, indicating a city and major oil-processing center in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Sooo... The deal, 2 weeks to get ships out of the straits, who's going to send ships in?
Who would have thought that trump would be the one who accelerated the conversion into renewables.
Forget Oil. Time to bust out the Free-Energy Tech
Something many people have forgotten. 121 different countries consider Netanyahu a war criminal. The US is on the wrong side of history on this one.

Welp. Iran is very predictable and I think the powers that be (Israel and USA) realized how Iran would behave. Maybe I am a conspiracy theorist but don't you find it more than coincidental that the US is finding ways to target and destroy advancing nations back to the stone ages while simultaneously trying to claim "clean hands?" Think about the Ukranian attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure, the Russia/Iran alliance, and the reliance of China on these powers. China relies on Russia for energy as well as the middle east, and in this age of AI energy is KING. Europe is increasingly ever-reliant on the US as a result. Israel and the US know exactly what they're doing. This is the greatest example of triangulation I've ever seen!
Our Dear Leader, Kim Don Trump, could screw up a wet dream.
Who would have thought that Trump and the mullahs would end up doing more for climate protection than any environmental organisation? Thanks to them, the transition to renewables is likely to accelerate far faster than expected. Everything the orange nutter sets out to do seems to produce the exact opposite result. Funny to watch from a distance — much less funny when you’re the one affected.
I was thinking the same thing. Renewables are now a valid option. Maybe coal, but gasoline will quickly be in short supply. Wait until we hit surge pricing when those ocean bound oil tankers reach their ports and there are no follow up tankers. Starts next week.
Thanks Peter...
Iran doesn't seem to get the Message. Maybe Nukes will do it ?
are you stupid?? do you have a hidden death wish? if nukes fly everybode will be affected, also your air,, your water, your food
This will be an excuse to just go all the way.
I know this whole thing is a disaster. But if they are the type to attack neighbors…. Isn’t it better that they are taken down… now. Imagine if a country like this…really got nukes (which I don’t think is the reason for the war I’m just saying) And generally I don’t agree with the war , buuuut I can’t help but ignore the detail of Iran attacking its neighbors
As someone living in UAE that’s my primary concern. Any attempt to be half pregnant here is going to impinge the UAE economy more seriously than a final showdown. The UAE is super resilient and innovative, but if this hangs like a pall over the place it will be difficult.
Still better than yesterday’s video about using nukes 🤷♂️
Except today is the deadline for him to "blow up the entire country" 😬
Trump is simply Decarbonizing the global economy… no one thought it could work because it would cause a global depression but Trump doesn’t care, he is thinking about 2040 not 2026… because that is when the children born in 2026 will be in his age range Yes it is a bad joke, just like this whole situation
And then, in 2040, somebody will tell that this all situation will not be so dare if not for Clintons and Obamas , or because libs .. and 40% will believe them and elect another one .
LoL, the world is going to be short of oil and petrochemicals until demand drops sufficient to available supplies. And man, this is going to be the largest economic shock since the early 1970s. What an utter fiasco for the world trade system. As predicted. Trump and Putin are going to be stains in the history books for this fiasco. If we bother to write any books. 20 percent of US farmers are now surplus with the end of world trade, who is going to tell them? Stop building AI and start building plumbing supply and plastics plants. Oh yeah, and some nuke plants to keep the lights on.
So this audience will be the first to know about it ie. early adopter status (ONLY adopter status?) Been developing an offline device that uses a raspberry pi5 16GB to host an abliterated LLM (AI without safety protocols) to access a massive crisis and subsistence database (like how to hotwire a car, triage a gunshot, make drinking water with the sun, etc), complete with soil sensors (know what to grow when without knowledge), Wikipedia archives and Project Gutenberg (classical books), a psychology counselor you can talk to, speech to text and text-to-speech translations for 201 languages, etc. Was kind of intended as a yuppie device to help keep your family alive in the event of societal collapse when you know absolutely nothing...thought I'd have at least another year to work on this, looks like the world has other plans.
Why not use a good laptop? Portable and dependable.
Super TACO Tuesday?
What should I wear for the Apocalypse?
Something playful and flirty, but functional. And to borrow a line from the Incredibles, "No Capes!"
Trump is an amazing tactician, if you consider him working for putin...
If this is successful from an Iranian point of view, the economies of Europe, Japan, and Korea would seem to be strongly impacted. Hope this does not come to be.
Thanks Putin.
More good news! Thank god the Aircon in my bomb shelter is solar powered.
