Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Given the fact that all oil in the middle east is under Shiites soil !!! in Saudi Arabia (all oil is in north-East, Shi'a), Kuwait, Iraq and of course Iran.

even if Hormuz stay open (and it is very unlikely) not a drop of oil will be produce if the main Shi'a country, Iran is attacked.

The crisis in US will be much worst than 1929, with a gallon at $20 for a very long term

enjoy your car while you can ;-)

That could actually turn out quite well for us sleazy europeans, that will be eager to step in. Middle-eastern countries won't be able to sell to the US for obvious reasons, but they'll want to keep business running, so oil will simply jump through a few hoops before reaching north america, spilling some heavy cash on the way... Especially the French could differentiate themselves fairly well (they already refuse to speak a decent english after all).

Not that it will matter anyway... once the Nagasaki-induced stupour on the consequences of atomic warfare has completely disappeared, something really stupid will happen, and humanity will rapidly go extinct.
