Airline Pilot Central Forums - Economic Impacts of Iran War

To answer your question…..if Biden was in the whitehouse and gas prices went up because he wanted to take uranium away from a crazy regime that would most definitely use them, I wouldn’t mind the increase in gas prices at the pump. Under Biden in his first week he closed the keystone pipeline starting the upwards climb in oil/ gas prices to appease the renewable energy crowd.

Can you imaging how high oil prices could go if Iran gets a nuclear weapon? They would absolutely control and tax the straight of Hormuz and there would be nothing we could do about it except complain and wonder how this happened.

Wow, you guys are really obsessed with oil all of a sudden. I guess that is further proof that the whole Green New Deal thing you guys were pushing a few years ago was a scam all along. Imagine if that pipeline that had minimal environmental impact was built? Trump is right again.

Nobody ignores what COVID did to the economy. What is fact is that Biden and his policies did nothing to counteract that and as a matter of fact made it worse. About 4 to 5% of the 9% inflation was due to Biden.

That is a common misnomer. Terrorism and hate is going to breed no matter what we do. The United States, mostly under Clinton, did jack squat for 15 years, and what did we get in return? The same people who we helped overthrow the Russians then orchestrated 9/11.

Lesson learned? You can't sit back on your laurels, you have to be proactive against radicalism.

Are you asking for a history lesson, a civics lesson or a list of names?

Yes & no really. Feels like it’s not so much we lost our way as we’ve settled for no way at all. Iow, whatever looks best for next quarter. But you’re quite right of course. There are no pretend wars.Shoot to kill or just save time & fire one off at your little toe right now.

What exactly was "our way" Under Biden, Obama, or GWB that worked so well and how did it work?

If you say so. I think the name alone has become a metaphor ‘wtf has he done now.’
